Let’s talk about one of the most underutilized spaces in the house: Under the bed.
Now, when I say that, I don’t mean what you did as a kid, kicking everything under the bed five minutes before your mom came to check if your room was clean.
I’m talking about intentional under-bed storage that actually helps you stay organized, save space, and reduce bedroom clutter for good.
How to Use Under-Bed Storage the Right Way
Start by picking up a few flat storage totes or bins, which are easy to find at department stores and don’t have to be expensive. The key here is to store items with purpose, not just hide clutter out of sight.
Think of it as creating an extra drawer that no one can see!
Under-Bed Storage Ideas for Every Room
Children’s Rooms
Make clean-up a breeze while keeping the floor and closets clutter-free. Try storing:
- Seasonal clothing
- Art supplies and craft projects
- School keepsakes and memory boxes
- Extra toys or books
Teen Rooms
Teenagers may not love tidying up, but this can help:
- Store off-season clothing
- Keep sports gear and uniforms out of the way
- Use bins for hobbies, electronics, or keepsakes
Your Bedroom
- Photo albums or memory boxes
- Seasonal clothing and outerwear
- Keepsakes from your children or family history
- Spare bedding or linens
Why This Works
- Frees up floor and closet space
- Creates a cleaner, more open bedroom
- Makes organizing (and cleanup) easier for everyone
