Do you find yourself living under a pile of CDs? Get your CD collection sorted with the right CD storage for you, find out how in this guide.

CD storage is a pressing issue for anyone who has accumulated a compact disc collection of any size over the years. Once you have a collection of more than ten discs in the house, it is funny how easily they get lost, displaced and in a mess. That is why organising your collections of CDs is an important task when it comes to tidying, interior decorating and furniture. Thankfully there is a huge variety of storage options on the market. They range from the small and simple to the large and elaborate -- the storage that is right for you depends on the size of CD collection!



Popular Storage Types

Storage Furniture

A good, simple choice for people whose CD collections are overwhelming their room space is purchasing some kind of storage furniture. Popular designs include multimedia storage cabinets, which often have an open view of the CDs you keep there, to make it easy to find what you are looking for. Also on the market are items of furniture that look like normal drawers or cupboards but when they are opened reveal specialised racks for storing CDs, and dedicated CD shelves which act the same as book shelves but for compact discs instead.

Storage Cabinet

Storage cabinets fall into the same category as storage furniture, but they are more specific to being just cabinets. There is a lot of choice when it comes to choosing storage cabinets.

Storage Boxes

If you want to declutter your home from a messy collection of compact discs, then purchasing storage boxes is another great choice. They are also useful if you are putting items away into storage or when you are moving homes. Storage boxes custom designed for CDs come in a wide range of styles. Popular items include the Platinum CD Storage Box by Fellowes, which is useful because it is stackable (so you can have several and still save plenty of room) and because it is built to handle not only CDs but several types of multimedia. Other storage boxes include flight cases which are durable and protective of your CDs.

Storage Wallets

CD Storage wallets are a great choice when you only want to store the actual compact discs, and not the plastic cases that accompany them. They usually take the form of a large, book-style wallet which opens to reveal stacks of discs stored in individual plastic sleeves. This is a great way of storing information you have burned yourself on to CD-R without a jewel case, or CDs that you have lost the case for.

Wall Storage

Wall storage can include shelves or wall-mounted cabinets, but it is usually used to describe the type of wall CD rack you might need to buy if you own a music store. These can be surprisingly inexpensive when you shop around, so it might even be the right CD storage to lavishly kit out your home!
