where should i put all my junk?

[lilium]

where is everyone putting all their chests!! currently mine are all in front of my house and its kinda messy . i only have about 5 (want to get more though) so its not really that many but i don't wanna keep it all in front of my house. i thought about investing in a shed however it feels a bit like a waste of space for only 5 chests and hard to access. my house is currently only upgraded to a kitchen but if upgrading is my best bet ill do it. (i just wanna keep everything quite tidy)

1x big shed for storage, is usually mandatory. The more you progress, the more chests are so going to keep appearing and other than that, you can put other stuff inside the same shed, too!

I have one with 17x big chests and various other rows of machinery

I was just thinking of this earlier today. My farm is still quite small, but I'm expanding, and I already have a dozen chests. Most outside but even a few in my house! I gotta build a shed to store them in. Cause I know im gonna have more chests coming soon

Honestly, I do the same thing, but I try to keep it so organized that I in no way possible can mess it up.

Mine matches this.

I played my first 3 long saves with a double row of Chests outside but it makes a mess of exterior design, even when you hide them behind buildings. But now I put them in a Shed with the most-used machines, which gets upgraded to a Big Shed later if I want more processing. It's clean and easy and gives you something else to decorate!

I scatter several of my chests around the valley. I keep one in the mines top room, and I decorate the bajeezuz out of it, pretty much turning it into a smeltery (that's a word now). Keep another near willy, and a few scattered into barns and sheds and the farmhouse here and there. I know some people will keep chests in people's houses and put a stash of gifts in there for them.

I always keep chests within my house, I'm not a huge decorator but even if you are they can slot in quite nicely as a little section in one part or around the main 'living room' of the house.

In the early game though my chests always fill the area in front of my house and greenhouse (which I pop right next to it), with a couple around the valley like LRangerL has, such as in the entrance to the mines, some fishing spots, and on the island

I've got two big chests at the side of my house with the crafting table between them.

In the early game I usually have all my chests in the main room of my farmhouse, but once I have the second house upgrade I move my things up into the corner room. Eventually I plan to move them again up into the attic, or some other renovation room.

Where to put all your junk? In my hands. It'll take it-

No, seriously tho.

You can either A. get yourself a shed. For instance, this one is mine, (It's a deluxe shed) It's not pretty. It's essentially my junk drawer in Stardew Valley, all the chests are color-coated for my goofy organization system.

Or you could B. upgrade your house to the "house upgrade 2" package, and unlock house renovations. With that, you can get extra fun rooms, and you could buy one to add onto your house and make it your storage/junk room. You could get the "cubby" and make it your craft room or something.

I put mine in my house

I just shove them in chests or if it is food, it gets shoved in one of my 6 fridges (I want to look in my cooking area and see that I can cook every dish) but I spend a lot of time organizing and cleaning out junk that I don’t need, so more chests are not a necessity, and some I don’t even have big chests for.

 

[Bloodless]

I do one big shed for organizing. Then I have some more chests at the foot of my beds that I randomly dump stuff in, to later organize into the shed. I can now never imagine not having one of these sheds on my farm.
