How To Utilise The Space Under Your Bed For Storage
Firstly measure the space so you know how much room you have to play with.
When choosing your storage solutions, consider the following;-
- If you are planning on accessing the items frequently, look for storage boxes on wheels for ease of use.
- Clear containers are really helpful so you can see what’s inside without having to pull the whole box out first.
- If you don’t want to spend money you could even use repurposed drawers, shoe boxes, empty cardboard boxes.
- If you want to store your summer/ winter wardrobe underneath your bed a great idea can be to use plastic vacuum bags, as not only are they cheap, they can fit a huge amount of clothes in and once you have sucked all of the air out of them with your hoover, you are left with a small package which will fit nicely underneath your bed.
