As the old saying goes, a cluttered space equals a cluttered mind.
Is your bedroom looking like Aladdin’s cave, except with junk instead of jewels? Are there things strewn everywhere, desperately looking for a home, adrift in a sea of ‘stuff’? Organisational skills tend to be something you either have or don’t, with bedrooms frequently falling into the ‘organised chaos’ camp, or ‘neat freak’ camp. Whichever you belong to, under the bed storage is always a good idea, so pop on an episode of Marie Kondo on Netflix, and keep scrolling for our top storage hacks.

If you have the amount of stuff where you just know you will need embedded storage (pun intended), then opting for a bed with storage drawers is the best way to go. We like this chic option from John Lewis, with its stylish low twisted legs, button headboard and two roomy drawers to fill with spare blankets, pyjamas, or clothing.
If you’re looking for a bed with multiple options, this is it. First, choose from colours including black, blue, cream, mink, maroon, pink, silver, and more. Next, decide how many drawers you want and where you want them (two left drawers, two right drawers, two foot end drawers, four drawers) and finally opt for your preferred size of the bed. This price is for a double with four drawers – well, we may as well make the most of the incredible space on offer.
As we’re going into autumn and winter, we’ll be putting away our summer shoes like flip flops and sandals, and this under bed shoe storage solution is ideal. It stores up to 12 pairs of shoes, has a clear window so you can see which pairs you’ve stored (as we’ll forget in about five minutes), and has moveable compartments to fit different shapes and sizes.
The product’s name says it all: this under bed shoe storage is large, heavy duty, and has that handy clear lid. The price is for a set of two, and each has 12 compartments, meaning up to 24 pairs of shoes can be stored. Result.
With not one, not two, not three, but four under bed storage boxes, this Dunelm set of folding boxes are made from textured corduroy and fold flat, perfect for when they’re not being used. Bringing effortless style to your bedroom, they come in this pretty blush colour and a chic olive shade, but at 30cm tall, do check you have sufficient under bed clearance to accommodate them.
You can rely on Wayfair for coming through with the goods with interiors, and this is a case in point. Coming in a set of four, with two in a soft grey shade and two in a stylish floral design, these under bed storage boxes can be folded down and quickly popped up again for super easy storage.
Basket handbags were everywhere this summer, and this storage basket from H&M brings an updated twist to the trend. Coming in this stylish beige, black, pink or grey, they’re made of 100% cotton, and reviews mention how well made and sturdy they are.
This looks so much more expensive than it actually is. Made from hand woven seagrass by crafters in Vietnam, this storage basket is strong, durable, and is deceptively deep: it can store anything from clothing to toiletries, accessories, magazines and more. A masterclass in contemporary chic.
Let's roll with it. If you’re looking for manoeuvrability and general ease of access, under bed storage with wheels is the answer. These two come in a go-with-everything grey and white, with lids that clip on to keep your possessions dust free.
This wheely good under bed storage box is made in the UK from solid premium plastic to protect your belongings from any knocks. Featuring clipping handles and a flatter design to make it ideal for rolling under the bed, it can be stacked on top of other boxes and can be recycled after use.
To us, these are the ideal storage bags for under the bed. Coming in a set of three in small, medium and large sizes, they’re soft but durable, and can be easily wiped clean with a cloth. The biggest selling point is that they’re made from recycled plastic bottles and certified by the Global Recycled Standard.
With 74% five star reviews on Amazon, this under bed storage bag is loved for being waterproof, strong and sturdy, dust proof, and big enough to hold a king size duvet. Wins all round.
Has this given you the inspo to start decluttering? We reckon if anything will, it’ll be adding the chic Blue Pattern Seagrass Basket from John Lewis to your bedroom (or anywhere in the house, to be honest). It looks like something that might cost three times its actual price. If you want storage boxes, you can’t go wrong with the Set of 4 Corduroy Folding Boxes from Dunelm for being stylish, affordable, and foldable. However if you’re in for the long haul and think a bed with storage drawers is the best idea, we don’t blame you. We’d go for the Fleisher Divan Bed with 54 from Wayfair, for its impressive choices in colours, sizes, and drawers.
