Move it, Monsters! Beat it, Dust Bunnies!

Everyone in your home appreciates
smart, easy storage solutions!

The area under your bed at home may be the most under-used storage area in your home.  If you have a king-sized bed, you may be sleeping over storage space equivalent to a 4’x2’ closet! (Why should the monsters and dust bunnies have all that space to themselves?)

There are two ways to approach planning your under bed storage solution: 

(1) the dimensions of the space, and (2) what you plan on storing.

If you’re starting with space, be sure to consider how many sides of the bed are accessible – this could influence whether you choose more square options or more rectangular.  Also, don’t forget to measure how much space there is between the floor and your bed frame.  Few things are as frustrating as finding the perfect solution only to discover it won’t fit underneath the bed.

If you’re thinking more about what you can use the space to store, you’ll be choosing solutions that fit the objects.  There are so many specialized solutions, to store your shoes to ornaments to your wedding dress.  Not sure what to use the space for? Use it to store your off-season linen and bedding, or clothing.  Nest and store your unused luggage until that next great vacation. 

You can store a lot under your bed, but you want the solutions to be handy and easily handled.  No one wants to pull their back out with unwieldy containers, nor do you want to find yourself half-buried trying to pull boxes out from the far corners.  Take a carefully planned approach and there won’t be room for any monsters under your bed!
