Making Space for My Growing Vinyl and Record Player Setup in a Tiny Living Room

So I recently got into collecting vinyl, and my tiny living room is feeling the squeeze. I've got a small mid-century record player that I love, but it sits on a side table that's also doubling as a catchall for keys, mail, and random stuff. I tried moving it to a corner shelf, but the sound feels muffled and cramped there. Plus, I have about 70 records now, all in cardboard boxes stacked under the coffee table, which is a pain to dig through. I really want to create a dedicated vinyl corner that feels cozy and functional without turning the whole living room into a music storage unit. Ideally, I'd like to keep the record player accessible and have my most-played records easy to grab, but I can't sacrifice much of the already limited seating space. Has anyone found clever furniture or storage hacks that work well for a small space vinyl setup? Or maybe ways to keep the turntable sound clear without needing a big separate media stand? Would love to hear what’s worked for you!
