Under the Bed: Yes and No
Under the bed is the biggest hidden storage in a small home, and the easiest to ruin. The rule in our place: if it goes under, it goes in a container, and it is something we need a few times a year.
The sheet, in text
- Loose items and bags → Low lidded bins, or bins on wheels
- Shoes you wear every day → Out-of-season shoes, boxed
- Paperwork and photos → Spare bedding in vacuum bags
- Anything you need weekly → Off-season clothes and coats
- Unlabelled boxes → A label on the side that faces out
- Filling it edge to edge → A gap, so you can pull bins out
