Under-the-bed storage

[ajmom]

Does anyone have any attractive storage advice for under the bed? Since the boys have bunk beds, we don't have a bed skirt, so anything under the lower bunk will show. Their room is in a western theme, but I'm not too particular about that... I would like something to store things like puzzles, dress-up clothes, and such. But the storage will be plainly visible, so I'd like for it to be a little nicer than plastic rubber maid tubs. Any suggestions?

Hi,

We have the same situation here. Just remember to measure how much room you have underneath the bed before you buy or esp. order anything. I looked into the IKEA one and really liked it: the quality is great, the style simple yet stylish. The price is reasonable compared to what's out there. Alas, it was too tall for the room we had under the bed. fwiw: I still haven't found anything for under the bed storage yet... But it could be just b/c I am lazy and have nothing to do with the selections available. LOL.

GL on your search!

Cheers,
Lin

We use the plain white plastic boxes with lids from ikea. Three or four of them lined up, and we use them for small toys (one for cars, one for animals etc. That way we can take the box out that he wants and carry it somewhere else in the house.
