These toy nets are excellent at keeping stuffed animals off the floor and can be hung up at any corner in a room. Although this product is intended for kids, the netting is basic enough to be used in any room. Even for adults, I could see this used in a bedroom or casual home office.

3. Floating Shelves
Not sure how to display stuffed animals in an adult’s bedroom or office? I highly recommend using a floating shelf with a protection bar to prevent stuffed animals from toppling over. Floating shelves also take up less space and cleverly turn your favorite plushies into wall art for your home office or bedroom.
You can find floating shelves in multiple colors, styles, and sizes. Most floating shelves look sophisticated which make them perfect ways to display plushies in a room for an adult (although they would also look awesome in child’s or teen’s room).

For people who have limited space, maximize any a room with hanging door organizer! For plushies, I recommend using one with wide pockets so you can pack and display multiple stuffed animals. I selected EZOWare’s hanging door organizer because not only does it come in a pack of two (you could use both on the same door), but it also has 4 decently-sized bin pockets!
Hanging door organizers are clever ways to display all your plushies in one place. If you are not sure how to display stuffed animals in a small space, try out a hanging door organizer; they basically take up no space! EZOWare’s door organizer is plain enough to be utilized in any kid’s or adult’s room.

Ever heard of a stuffed animal storage bean bag? It’s exactly how it sounds. These storage bean bags are perfect at storing away stuffed animals while adding additional seating for a child or teen. A win-win!

6. Clear Acrylic Display Case
Looking for a sophisticated idea on how to display plushies? Clear acrylic display cases are often used to protect and display expensive figurines and collectables. For people who treasure certain stuffed animals, consider displaying them inside a clear display case.
Although display cases are not a budget or effective way to display multiple plushies in a room, they can be a great solution for people who are only looking to display one or two stuffed animals. For adults who want to preserve their favorite childhood plush toys, display cases can be great way show off their stuffed animals as decorations.
Before purchasing a clear acrylic display case, measure your plushie prior. You’ll want to make sure they’ll fit into the case with a little extra room to spare (the extra space is to ensure your plush toy doesn’t awkwardly press up on the sides). The display case by Cliselda (below) is preassembled, sturdy, and perfect for displaying your favorite items!
7. Storage Bin Or Basket
Storage bins and baskets are wonderful ways to add extra storage in any room. For people with multiple stuffed animals, bins can help keep your plushies in one spot, organized, and off the floor. Even though storage bins and baskets are used mostly for storage, you could still use them to display your plushies!
Not sure how to display stuffed animals in a basket? Simply fill up the storage bins with your stuffed animals and face them all in the same direction (make sure to place the shorter ones closer to front and the taller/bigger ones in the back). For people looking for clever ways to display plushies using household items, I highly recommend using a basket as a simple plushie display.
Storage bins and baskets come in multiple designs, sizes, and colors. I selected this adorable fabric storage bin from TheWarmHome because of how simple and cozy the design is. Depending on the age of the person and the room’s style, you can definitely find something that works for you.
8. Toy Chain Organizer
Ever heard of a toy chain organizer? To display plush toys, simply clip them on the chain! If you are looking for a simple organizer to display small plush toys, I recommend checking out this product (if you have large stuffed animals, check out other plush display ideas from this list).

9. Wire Cube Storage Shelves
Looking for a cheap shelf to store all your stuffed animals? Wire cube storage shelves are awesome inexpensive alternatives to traditional shelves. I personally use wire cube shelves to store my clothes at home and I love how flexible they are (you can easily reconstruct them to a different size to fit any space).
Wire cube shelves are excellent ways to display a large collection plushies. They are similar to regular shelves, but can be restructured and stored compactly when not in use. The assembly process can be a bit confusing at first, but once you figure out how the corner bits are meant to snap into place, the process is a breeze.

You could organize your plushies by color or by type in each cube. This is an excellent budget shelf for to use in adult, teen, or kid’s room.
10. Stuff Animal Zoo Storage Cage
As someone who loves creative storage solutions, I HAD to add in this stuffed animal zoo storage cage. Compared to other items on this list, this product is the most expensive (I personally think the product on Amazon is overpriced). However, if you are a handy person, you can DIY your own stuffed animal zoo storage at home.
I love this stuffed animal cage idea for young children. This fun storage can be a great way to teach kids how to clean up after playtime. A animal zoo storage cage is one of the most creative ways to display plushies in a kid’s room.
11. House-Shaped Cubby Box
For people who own multiple mini plushies, try a cubby display shelf! I love beautifully designed shelves and this house-shaped cubby box set by Ikee is no exception! Cubby boxed shelves work great for stuffed animals because they are divided up in small sections to display single plushies.
The house-shaped cubby box (below) can be either hung on the wall or placed on a table. This shelf is one of the best ways to display plushies and turn them into decor for a bedroom, office, or living space.
This shelf is perfect for adults who want to display their favorite plush toys in any room. I would note that each individual “cubby” is small and might not fit most stuffed animals. I selected this product as an example of creative plushie display shelves you could utilize as a display.
