Whether you're three or 33, Lego and LEGO Duplo sets can provide hours of fun. Similar to activities such as colouring and crafts,LEGO is a brilliant mindfulness activity. However, despite the hours of fun it gives us, keeping it stored away neatly can be a challenge, which is why you'll need some clever LEGO storage ideas for your collection.

Best LEGO storage ideas at a glance:

If your Pinterest board is full of clever and rather satisfying storage solutions, then we think you'll love these LEGO storage ideas. From organising LEGO based on colour and size to storage that will look great in the home, we've got you covered.

Let's start with those random accessories and extras that don't quite fit into a clear category. You know, the weird heads and wigs and flowers that seem to appear down the side of the sofa or in your shoes, whereas a drawer divider made for a slim drawer is ideal for these little random pieces, and it keeps everything safe in their place.

Here, we have selected the best lego storage storage ideas for you:

Price: £17.44

These drawer dividers can be adapted to every drawer to change in length. They're made from a hardwearing plastic that won't easily bend.

These trays are great for adapting to any size drawer. We particularly love the small blocks for smaller pieces of LEGO, but you also have the option of adding longer trays to your collection too.

2) Lego basket

If the plastic storage solutions really don't go with your aesthetic, you could always pop all your LEGO in a natural rattan storage basket. After all, it's unlikely your little ones will keep everything colour coordinated for very long so you might as well bung it all in one pretty basket!

A basket like this is so versatile. If you no longer need it for LEGO, it can become a blanket basket or a place to store your loo rolls. Thanks to the handles, it's also easy to take from room to room.

3) Storage drawers

You can't go wrong with some handy storage drawers from somewhere like IKEA. These are great for toy or book storage as it allows you and your tot to see where everything is stored while keeping everything looking tidy and in its place.
