Running out of storage space? The empty area under your bed is just waiting to be filled! Even if your bed sits low to the ground, the tips and tricks below will help you utilize that space.

Storage Containers
All sorts of storage containers will work well under the bed. Here are a few options:
- Cloth bins: These come in all shapes and sizes. This set of three from Neaterize have plastic lids and are made to fit under the bed. They’ll also ensure your stored items stay dust-free.

A perfect fit for under the bed.
- Full-size bins: If you’d rather cram everything in one bin, these from NestNeatly are perfect. They do come in a three-pack, though, so if you have multiple beds in your home, you can store stuff under all of them!

- Drawer bins: If you want easy access to the items under your bed, these gorgeously crafted wooden bins on wheels are ideal. They roll out with ease for quick viewing, but aren’t ideal for long-term storage or in homes with pets.

- Plastic bins: If you have pets, you likely want something that will protect your clothing and other storage items from any accidents or fur. This is where a good plastic storage tote, like these basic stackables from Rubbermaid, really comes in handy.

When you need something more durable.
- DIY bins: Strapped for cash? Make your own storage bins! You don’t need a ton of supplies and you can use a drawer from an old dresser—just make sure it fits under your bed. This is a particularly good cost-saver, as wooden underbed storage units cost a mint. Repurposing an old drawer gives you the same thing at a fraction of the cost!
Condense What You’re Storing
To create even more space in your storage containers, you can vacuum seal any clothing. These AirBaker storage bags come in multiple sizes. You can use your vacuum cleaner to seal them, but they also come with a pump for use when traveling.
