18 Brilliant Places To Store Chairs In Small Homes

------- NEW PODCAST -------

Maria started a new podcast about simple living, faith, decluttering, etc.

When it comes to seating, chairs can be particularly tricky to store without cluttering your living area. Fortunately, with a bit of creativity, you can find clever and stylish ways to tuck away your chairs without sacrificing space.

In this article, we’ll explore 18 brilliant places to store chairs in small homes, helping you maintain a tidy and functional living environment.

Under The Table

Starting off with a classic is to simply store your chairs right under the table. Of course, they have to be the perfect fit.

So, consider the height and size of your furniture set if you want a space-economic option.

For a bit of fun, also get chairs with bright pops of color to make the vibe lively.

Coffee Table Compartment

On the other hand, you can also get a structure that is built to accommodate a chair too! This multi-storage coffee table is a great example of that.

The large compartment can fit a small stool or cushion that you can pull out whenever you want to sit by the table.

As a bonus, it can double as storage for other items aside from the chair as well.

Round Tables with Stools Underneath

Chair storage for round tables can be a bit tricky–but not if you get a custom set like this one! It contains four chairs that fit like a glove under the table.

And just like that, you save up on a ton of space when the chairs are not in use.

If you’re also going for a clear glass table top, then be thoughtful in picking the chair design too since they’ll be quite visible when stored underneath.

The same design is especially useful for a kid’s room. To maximize the structure, get a set with added storage so you can have a place to store toys too.

It’s such a clever and practical design. It’ll surely be a stunning and functional addition to your kid’s bedroom.

I suggest getting a colorful design to make the table set stimulating for your kids.

Pull-Out Chair Compartment

Disguise your chair as storage or other furniture pieces with this cheeky design. It hides the seat in plain sight for a more cohesive interior.

It’s a great way of keeping the chair away when not in use. If it can serve as storage too, even better!

You can either find a ready piece with this design or customize any old furniture you have at home.

Here’s another brilliant example. Instead of a plain dresser, the chair is partnered with a table with storage.

The wooden design is ideal for a home office or for your bedroom desk. 

I love how the back of the chair even looks like a drawer! The added details of the handle are such an adorable and intricate touch.

This version is for the bathroom. The design connects to the sink and turns into a vanity area with built-in storage.

Aside from having a pullout chair and compartment, the tabletop can also open up to a mirror.

I recommend investing in good-quality lighting solutions around this vanity area. They’ll make sure you get a good glimpse of yourself while you’re getting ready.

This innovation is like nothing you’ve seen before. The chair actually fits in and around the storage units of this table for a sneaky but intriguing design.

You won’t have to think twice about the chair placement and it’s so easy to put back in. 

If you ever have a hard time looking for a piece like this, check in with your local craftsman to get a customized set.

Rustic Furniture Set

For a charming and homey aesthetic, consider this rustic woven set. Not only is it endearing but it’s space-efficient too!

Again, the chairs fit impeccably under the table. This will be perfect as an outdoor feature for picnics or a minibar.

I suggest decorating this with flowers and plants, to complement the rustic theme.

This rustic example focuses only on the chairs and how you can fold them to keep them in a more compact space.

The woven seats fold up to compress the chair into a flatter figure so you can store them more efficiently.

If you have storage under the stairs, then that would be a great place to keep these wooden pieces.

Fold Out Deck Chair

Elevate your deck–both literally and figuratively–with this awesome design! It integrates the chair design into the floor so you won’t have to carry them around.

With this, you get a designated spot on your deck to just sit back and relax. 

Just so you have more options, this design also has a table area built into the wall and a couple of block chairs you can also store underneath it.

Furniture With Built-In Chair Storage

To have all your furniture pieces in one handy placement, consider chairs that are sleek and foldable–and tables with specialized storage for them.

This warm and bright wooden set effectively keeps a few chairs at bay in one of the compartments.

Because this type of setup will require a lot of movement (i.e. folding and keeping) I highly recommend getting a set made up of sturdy material. Flimsy ones won’t last long.

This modest yet jam-packed piece offers a similar layout but with wheels and a wider table top.

The fact that this table folds into storage for its chairs is just genius! The wheels also make moving it around a breeze.

When not in use, you can use the whole piece as a display for your plants and trinkets.

Geometric Storage

Here’s an eccentric way of keeping your chairs: on your walls! The out-of-the-box idea might seem silly at first, but it makes quite an impact on the interior of a room.

Placing them up on the wall with this method maximizes your walls and lets you save up on floor space.

As complex as it looks, it’s actually quite doable. Just install ledges on your walls to form compartments for the chairs.

Or you can also integrate your chair into a minimalist bookshelf for a similar geometric feel.

The chair cutout isn’t just for vanity. The chair itself also contains storage to blend with the bookshelf and match its function. 

I suggest using bins and containers when storing your things here, so when you move the chair around they won’t fall off.

Mounted Chair Racks

For quick and easy packing up, just get mounted wall racks! These ones are great for hanging and storing your foldable chairs.

They’re an affordable option that adds purpose to your walls and lets you optimize the rest of your space.

Don’t forget to choose those that curve at the top so your chairs are secured when hung, or you can also get stoppers.

This example can hang more than just your chairs. You can hang your coats, belts, and other items on this long-mounted wall rack.

As an alternative to getting racks, you can install knobs instead for a cleaner look.

With knobs or pegs, you can also add as many as you want and arrange them as you please. If you’d like to make them more aesthetically pleasing, then look into those with decorative designs.

Lastly, we haven’t forgotten about families, especially those with little ones running around. Of course, you’d need a place for your strollers as well.

Strollers can be quite bulky, so it’s best to not have them lying around on the floor. Instead, hang them up properly on your wall for a better use of space.

The same goes for wheelchairs and foldable chairs. Just get a design according to your needs and preferences and you’re good to go!
