Media Storage Solution: DVD Binders
Declutter your TV and media stand with stylish binders for all your discs
I live in a loft in Brooklyn, a recent transplant to Greenpoint (love my neighborhood!). I work as a freelance writer, blogger, stylist, gilder, and crafter. I curate a daily personal lifestyle blog called the Haystack Needle (http://www.thehaystackneedleonline.com). I'm also one half of the shop Cabin 7 (http://www.shopcabin7.com) — a collection of gilded objects for the home. I started out in magazines, working in the home department of Real Simple magazine and later worked as the home editor of Redbook. I love to scout cool finds for the home — everything from an amazing loveseat to a green laundry detergent that really works. I'm a new mama to our baby girl, Juniper, who amazes me every day with her curiosity for life and big smiles.

When my husband and I moved in together, he came with a huge movie collection. Of course, I loved having access to hundreds of films and TV shows on DVD, but I did not like the idea of displaying (or finding space to hide) all the jewel cases. So we got rid of the jewel cases in favor of a simple, streamlined system of DVD binders. Here, the binders that are my space-saving solution, plus a bunch of other attractive binders that would look right at home in your living room.

Russell + Hazel's binders have a book-linen spine, which come in so many chic, on-trend colors. I love the metallic silver! A thick rubber band wraps around the binder to keep it secure (since we all overstuff our binders.) You can also feel good knowing these binders are made from 100 percent post-consumer recycled content.

This laminated binder is covered in a beautiful watercolor inspired design. Beauty and function rolled into one.
Kolo is known for their fabric photo albums, but they also make smart binders. Try adding a liner sheet of your favorite film in the window pocket to make it easy to identify the "movie" binder.

There's something so simply modern about kraft brown office supplies.
You'll need to get DVD/CD liner sheets for your binders. The liner paper inside jewel cases takes up a lot of space and can scratch your DVDs. We recycled our liner sheets to make it easier to slide the discs in and out.
These solid binders come in juicy colors that would add a bright splash of organization to your media room.
Oh, the wonders of Etsy. You can find shiny happy (oilcloth covered) binders that are custom-made at a reasonable price. I want the gingham pattern!
For a traditional-style media space, these eco-minded binders would fit right in with their trellis pattern.
Back in elementary school, you had brown bag book covers. Now there are binder jackets that come in many varieties of cool, patterned fabrics (and they're sized to fit your binders.) Think of them as binder slipcovers — you can change up the patterns when you tire of one.
