Finding storage areas can be a struggle, especially in small living spaces. But these unique pieces of furniture have easy-to-access storage spaces hidden underneath or within them that are great for storing linens, pillows, blankets and more.
Bedroom Storage
When your bedroom closet starts to overflow it’s time to start looking for new storage options. These two storage solutions are hiding in plain sight and can make it a lot easier to change linens or switch out last season’s clothes.
Bedroom Bench Storage
Pack two functions into one with a storage bench. A cushion on top provides a place to sit, while cubbies below can be used for books or bins full of toys, games, or crafts supplies. Place this living room storage furniture next to a window for an easy DIY window seat loaded with function.
Under Bed Storage
The empty space beneath your bed is a great place for storing off-season clothes, linens and pillows. Use plastic storage bins or better yet, shop for a bed with integrated storage built-in.
Beds with pull-out drawers work great, but for the most storage space choose a bed with a mattress that lifts up to reveal storage underneath.
Living Room Storage
The living room in every home seems to serve as a catch-all for all types of blankets, pillows, toys and TV remotes. You can help declutter the main room in your home by introducing these furniture pieces that include handy storage that no one will know is there.
Ottoman Storage
Available in various shapes, styles, and sizes, ottomans are a flexible storage furniture option that brings organization and function to your living room. Choose a design with a lid that lifts to reveal a roomy storage compartment ready to store anything, including blankets and gaming equipment. For added functionality, upgrade your ottoman with casters for mobile organization.
Living Room Bench Storage
A living room bench adds comfortable seating to any room. But hidden beneath the seat you’ll often find a large storage space that can be used to hold umbrellas, dog leashes, coats and whatever else you might need as you run out the door.
Coffee Table Storage
A great coffee table can do a lot more than give you a surface to set your items on. It can also anchor your aesthetic, showcase your decor, and—perhaps most importantly for many of us—store items out of sight until you need them.
Laundry Room Storage
Laundry rooms are the ideal place to store cleaning supplies, stain removers and extra fabric softeners. But, depending on the size of your laundry room, space can be at a premium. Here’s an underutilized storage solution that will leave you wondering why every laundry room doesn’t use it.
Laundry Room Shelves
Laundry room shelves are the easiest way to store everything you need for quick-access. Open shelving built above or near your washer and dryer can be used to hold cleaning products, laundry baskets and that orphan sock bin that is somehow always full.
