Under-Bed Storage Solutions

Whether our home is a mansion or a dormitory, we're all in need of additional storage. And the space under the bed is prime real estate to keep things organized! From off-season clothing to crafts and holiday décor to valuable textiles, there are many cost-conscious options available to help us keep it together.

Smart Under-Bed Storage

This fantastic Smart Under-Bed Storage DIY project is a hack of the Ikea Dalselv Bed Frame. A home improvement "hack" means adapting an existing product to meet your needs and tastes. Here the hacker cut off the bed frame's legs, built a box and attached the frame  on top with hinges. (You could hire a carpenter to do this for you if you're the all-thumbs type.) And voila ... a cost-effective custom solution that provides tons of long-term storage, right at your fingertips! Photo credit: ikeahacker.blogspot.com.
