Under the bed dorm storage ideas
Make having a dedicated space for all your college must-haves part of your organization plan before you start shopping. Consider the different types of items you’ll want to store separately and together, and make note of how many of each storage essential you’ll need.
Some smart storage ideas to get you started include…
- Place each pair of extra shoes in individual fabric shoe boxes or bags where they’ll be within easy reach and protected. Keeping them separated from other belongings you’ll be keeping in storage under dorm beds also ensures you won’t get shoe dirt and grime on anything and find yourself with an unexpected load of laundry!
- Use larger, zippable fabric clothes storage containers to keep seasonal clothes dust-free and out of sight until it’s time for that big ski trip or Spring Break. Unlike rigid plastic containers, the flexible material of our sturdy bags and cases helps them fit easily under almost any height bed. The clearance beneath dorm beds can vary quite a bit, so it can be helpful to reach out to your school ahead of time to see how high your bed will be.
- Large fabric storage cases also make for smart storage for under dorm beds to hold extra bedding, bags and accessories.
- Use heavy duty plastic dorm under bed storage solutions with tight sealing lids to hold extra cereal, snacks and other food. Some of our large storage boxes have hinges in the middle, so they’re easy to open from either side without pulling out the entire storage container.
