When was the last time you delved under the beds in your home to see what was lurking under there? Could there be a monster hiding under your child’s bed? Or are you more likely to find some dust bunnies and half a dozen pairs of lost socks? Whether you have a bedroom with heaps of storage, or not a wardrobe in sight, maximising under-bed storage is a great way to increase functionality in your bedrooms, and keep the space tidy.
1. Clear it out
You may dread it, but the first step to maximising the hidden space under your bed is to clear out anything that has become hidden underneath the bed by accident. Pull the bed out form the wall and grab a garbage bag, because in my experience 90 percent of what you find under a bed is rubbish that has slipped under there and never been picked up. You may find the odd piece of clothing too, so pop them straight in the wash.
What you’ll also find, regardless of how much clutter is under there, is that beneath your bed is very dusty. This is normal and is the case in every home, so grab the vacuum and give it a good clean before putting the bed back into position.
2. Decide what’s going back in
Now that you have a clear and clean space under the bed, let’s talk about what you might actually want to store in this space.
The ideal is to store things under the bed that you don’t need to access every day. You also want to store things under there that are easy to pull in and out as needed.
3. Buy suitable containers
Once you’ve decided what you’ll keep under the bed, you can then invest in some suitable storage. There are some great under-bed storage solutions on the market that are the full width of a single bed, and therefore maximise your storage space. You want to focus on using containers that are lightweight and easy to grab and pull out when you need them, especially if they’re being used under children’s beds.
If you’re tempted to skip the containers and just store things loosely under the bed, we’ll just remind you of the amount of dust you vacuumed up when you started this job. You’ll also find that without containers, the mess under the bed will be impossible to control. Containers give you limits and also create a way to easily access what you are storing under there.
4. Use it well
When you come across items that now belong in your under-bed storage, the temptation when you’re in a rush will be to put items on top of the container rather than take 30 seconds and put it inside. Make a decision to do the job well and it will ensure items avoid getting dusty; you’ll also keep the space organised rather than letting it return to clutter.
