Under Bed Storage Organization Ideas
Entry #3268, February 17, 2014
The bed is probably the most useful and necessary piece of furniture in any home. In the same time it is usually the most space consuming piece also. But even in small houses, you can’t easily get around having a bed. So in any home but especially in smaller ones, not using under bed storage is a great waste of available storage space. So much could be neatly tucked away out of sight; winter linens and duvets, covers and throws, but also clothes and other seasonal items. Here are some great ways to use this particular space.

Under Bed Storage Organization Ideas
Invest in a Bed with Built-In Storage
If you are in search of a new bed, think about a bed with a built in lift mechanism. Those are really practical and provide a great storage opportunity. Under there you’ll be able to store a great variety of items of different sizes and they will be safe from dust.

If you are not going to buy a new bed any time soon, ask about separate lift-up mechanism that might fit your existing bed.
Another option if the lift-up is not your choice, is a bed that provides other types of build-in storage opportunities, like drawers.

Use Baskets for under bed storage
With or without lids, baskets that match your overall décor and compliment your bed can be a beautiful addition to your bedroom. The good thing about baskets with lids is that they provide protection from dust. For easier access, use baskets with wheels and make sure to get the correct sized ones, in order to not have ugly gaps or worse, not to be able to store them under your bed.

Re-Purpose Other Storage Items
There are a variety of storage items that are great for under bed storage use. Some of them include old drawers or suitcases. Attaching small wheels to them will make them easy to reach and move around for cleaning. If they are visible, they can give a nice touch to the bedroom.
