Finding Space in an Underneath Place

Small spaces are a real challenge. Even with creative use of floor space and wall space, there may not be enough room for the essentials. When the wall won’t hold another shelf and furniture has served as many multiple functions as you can think of, consider looking under things for potential storage.

In the bedroom, the bed is the largest piece of furniture that has potential for storage. Wooden drawers that stack and single wooden drawers on rollers are great places to store clothing that is looking for a home. Plastic rolling storage boxes with a low profile can hold children’s books and games, as well as art supplies or small toys. Several manufacturers make under-bed rolling trays and boxes designed specifically for shoes.

Another potential for storage is under a desk or work table. Rolling files are available that neatly fit into the unused space and an under-desk printer/fax stand can help free up flat surface space.

A decorative box or basket can be placed under a console or coffee table to hold books, magazines or a collection of shells or other memorabilia. Careful selection can create an interesting focal point
