Bringing the dead space under your bed into play with a nifty organizer is a brilliant way to instantly add storage in a compact bedroom.
I particularly like the slide-out under-bed drawer from The Container Store, which negates the need to pull out whole bins and unzip fabric tops, or fully remove any awkward, long lids in bedrooms that are already tight for floor space.
You can simply load these drawers and pull the sliding element out to access the items inside with ease. It’s a great way to maximize the space you have in your small bedroom and affordable, too.
No-fuss sliding underbed drawers are genius in small bedrooms
Enjoy the pest and dust protection plastic bins give your items, without having to deal with long lids in small rooms. The smooth slide-out feature is the big winner for me. These are also stackable, if you have more height under your bed to make use of.
Using a smart home storage idea like this is a great way to make the most of a small bedroom layout with limited wardrobe or floor space, and means you can still access anything stored under your bed with ease.
Customers rate this particular small bedroom storage idea highly, with 88% of buyers giving it an average of 4.5 out of 5 stars, including verified buyer Jennifer, who keeps her flat shoes, sandals, and boots in hers.
In her feedback, she says the slide-out drawers are ‘fantastic under-bed storage’ and shares that she was able to fit three of these under her queen-size bed, which has an adjustable base.
She says, ‘Now, everything is available year-round. Simply reach under the bed, open the drawer, and pick whatever you want to wear that day.’
Jennifer rates the quality too, adding that the drawers open easily with one hand. She adds, 'They close just as easily. I have only good things to say. I haven't seen anything similar at other retailers. There may be something comparable available, but I am not aware of it. If I had room, I would purchase more of these. They would be great for things other than shoes, too.’
What to shop
To work within the confines of your space, here are some clever solutions to consider.
These stackable, rolling bins with front-opening doors are super handy in compact rooms. You can fold them down when not in use or reconfigure them if you change your room layout, or need them spread out in different areas.
Making use of vertical space with an over-the-door organizer will help create storage areas without using up limited floor space.
This tall basket with handles can hold a high volume of items without and its 15-inch diameter saves on floor space too.
Go vertical with style with these pretty lidded baskets that stack with ease. The liners are cotton, and the baskets themselves are made with durable seagrass. They're perfect for storing out-of-season clothes in the long term.
Whilst the lid will keep pests and dust out of anything you're keeping under the bed, the rolling wheels make it super easy to pull out and access.
Add a stylish, easy access storage solution to the back of your door, or inside a wardrobe door with this tiered basket system.
