Under the Bed Storage

The bed is typically the most significant piece of furniture in a bedroom and occupies the most space. If you need more storage, under the bed is the most logical space to maximize storage. Another bonus is that that space is out of sight.

While coming up with ideas to improve on storage, keep your space organized, neat, declutters. To conceal items placed under your bed, hang an attractive bedskirt.

Here are a few of under the bed storage options:

Drawers

Wheeled drawers or repurposed old dresser drawers with added casters to the bottoms will add easy-access storage. Buying furniture with under the bed drawers are handy under kids’ beds for holding games, toys, and dress-up clothes. You can store extra blankets and pillows in a guest room.

Wheeled boxes

A specially designed under-bed wheeled box keeps belongings out of sight but is easy to roll out when you need something. The generous size is handy for books, out-of-season clothing, linens, hobby items, and more. The lid also protects contents from dust and pests.

Storage bags

Large zippered bags work well for infrequently used items, such as holiday decorations and spare blankets, pillows and linens. You can vacuum extra sets of linens into space bags to eliminate bulky items.

Archival garment boxes

If you plan to store treasured clothing, including veils, christening gowns or delicate quilts, consider investing in archival garment storage boxes. You can keep these garment boxes under the bed, and it will keep priceless garments from deteriorating.

Photo storage cases

Put items that don’t need to be accessed daily or even weekly under a bed. This is a great idea for old photos and memorabilia. Maybe it is time to digitize these items as well.

Shoe organizer

Women will appreciate this ideal – store your specialty shoes that aren’t worn every day under the bed. You can keep them in a simple divided box to wheeled racks.

Gift wrap station

Keep your gift wrapping station under the bed with your gift wraps, ribbons, and bows, tape, scissors and cards in a clear plastic bin under the bed. They will be easy to find when you need them before parties and events.

Suitcases

Luggage is a perfect option that can be stored underneath a bed in between trips. You can also store blankets, linens, and clothing in them as well.

Bed risers

Consider elevated your bed with rises. It will give you a few more inches of vertical storage space. You may even be able to have a better view of outdoors from a window or view your television without bending your neck.
