The best DVD organization solution to save space

Learn how I saved 75% of the space occupied by my DVDs and Blu-rays with this easy and quick organization idea. You'll even get to keep all your movies!

If you have kids like me, you probably have a ton of DVDs and Blu-rays of animated movies that are taking way to much space!

Should I sort or get rid of some? Sorry, but I can't throw them away! Especially the Disney ones that get in stores only every 10 years! I still need to keep these classic movies for a few more years !!! But how to find good DVD storage that saves space while keeping your DVDs?

Do you also have a DVD collection that you don't want to get rid of? If you don't have a nice drawer like mine, there are other fun ways you can use the same sleeves. You can use a nice storage box with a cover or even just a simple box to hold them upright. Here are some options for you:
