Small Bedroom - Raise the Frame for Under Bed Storage

If you are trying to find storage in a small bedroom, look under the bed.

Many bed frames sit pretty low to the ground making it harder to store things except for those shoes you kick off and then try to crawl under to find!

But finding small bedroom storage is as simple as raising your bed frame.  By raising it, you can then add larger containers that can slide in and out with ease.  There is a lot of real estate under your bed that you could be using.

You simply add these to the bottom of the bed and it will raise it 5-6 inches. This can make a huge different for storage bins. or you could DIY with wood blocks yourself. The ones online are a super affordable way to find that extra room you need.

or DIY if you are Handy..

Add Dollar Store Baskets or Find Ones With Wheels

Depending on your floor covering, you can add open plastic containers or baskets from the dollar store to store your extra shoes, or out of season shoes, purses, belts and all accessories.

If you have hardwood under the bed, you may prefer to get them with casters on them so as to not be dragging them across the floor.  You can find these online, just make sure to measure the amount of room you have as the casters do take up some height.
