Organising under bed storage for Christmas is the best way to ensure you’re ready for the holiday season.
Not only will you have to get decorations out, but there will be new things to make space for, so now is the perfect time to get organised, de-clutter, and make space for the holiday season and new year.
Having under bed storage means you’ve got more space to play with. You can store more. But you don’t want this valuable storage space to become a dumping ground for clutter.
So, let’s get organised and organise your under bed storage for Christmas whilst you’ve got time . . .
5 Ways For Organising Under Bed Storage for Christmas
Here are our five top tips for organising under bed storage for Christmas.
Have a bed with under bed storage
One of the easiest ways to be ready for the time of year when everyone is bought something new and some things need to be found a new storage location is to have more storage than you started the year with.
A bed with under bed storage, also known as storage beds or ottoman beds are the best solution to that problem.
Furl’s storage beds come with loads of storage underneath, enough that you can fit full-size suitcases (open or closed) and a whole load of extra storage.
Invest in multi-functional furniture such as a storage bed or ottoman bed with storage to provide extra sleeping space and storage for everything you’d normally store in this room. You can even buy one ready-made if you’re in a hurry!

Additional or under-bed storage solutions such as storage boxes, baskets, and crates can also be stored under the bed and made use of, especially if you’re investing in a Furl storage bed: Here’s a blog about how to make the most of this space and organise under-bed storage.
You can also invest in extra storage in a bedroom, such as an ottoman box for blankets, pillows, bedding, and towels. Now is the time to create as much extra storage space as possible, re-arrange, and declutter before the new year.
Re-arrange under bed storage for Christmas
In a previous blog, we talked about how to make the most of this space and organise under-bed storage. Top tips included:
Picking the right storage bed. Furl storage beds are the most beautiful, comfortable, practical, and easy to open, and have the deepest storage (from 20cm to 40cm) you’ll find anywhere.
Our space-conscious storage beds take up less space in your room and are delivered and assembled by our team in your home. One of the many advantages of a Furl storage bed (apart from getting an excellent night’s sleep every time) is the fact you can reach every square cm of storage space underneath thanks to the easy-to-lift opening mechanisms, with side or end opening mechanisms, and there are electric options, too.
Once you know how much space you’ve got to play with (depending on the bed, storage underneath, storage depth, and side of the bed), then divide the space according to where everything is going to go.
Invest in storage boxes and other under-bed storage solutions. IKEA, Amazon, and dozens of other shops sell these. Buy a few different types of storage boxes and bags, such as baskets, canvas bags, and plastic bins.
Declutter before the Holidays
Before the holidays get here, or you even start decorating, it’s time to start decluttering. One quiet night or lazy Sunday afternoon should be all the time you need to declutter.
If you do it now, before Christmas and a good Spring Clean, then there will be less to do after presents are unwrapped and it’s time to put the decorations away.
Use this time to throw out, recycle, sell, or take to a charity shop anything that you or anyone else in your household doesn’t want, need, or use regularly. Make sure it’s nothing sentimental or important, of course.
Keep space for decorations for after the Holiday’s
Let’s assume your decorations, including the Christmas tree going back under your storage bed after Christmas; have you made space for it?
Before taking the decorations out, ensure the space it’s going back into is enough for it to fit. Measure the space it’s going to occupy so you’re sure the bed will close without any problems, even if you’ve rearranged everything else under your storage bed.
Know where everything’s going after Christmas
Following-on from that, have you got a decent idea of where everything is going to live after Christmas? Is there space for any new boxes, or for a suitcase to be used as storage after any seasonal holidays under the bed?
Give yourself time to test where any new boxes are going, and remember to declutter in advance of any large presents that might need storing under a bed (such as skis, hiking clothes, or a fold-away bike).
Being prepared and decluttering before the holidays will make your life much easier afterward, especially if space is at a premium.
Looking for the perfect storage bed?
When it comes to storage beds, Furl has a variety of choices available in every size, colour, and fabric, with different opening mechanisms and maximising the amount of storage space you can use.
Furl beds, like the Illusion, appear as though they have no storage at all but actually contain a massive amount of storage. The Low storage bed is great for tiny bedrooms – it sits low to the ground, so it can provide ample storage without looking like it fills the space in the room.
