Hideaways

I’ve always loved the idea of attractive under-bed storage that doesn’t resemble flattened, oversized Tupperware. Hable Construction has a looker of one, made from 53 percent sustainable linen—I’m not a fan of the conventional-cotton content, however—and handprinted and assembled in New England. If the $215 price makes your wallet go into toxic shock, Martha Stewart has a step-by-step guide to making your own under-bed storage box, though, admittedly, it’s not as cute.
I’m personally leaning towards the idea of painting over a few old or discarded drawers, outfitting them with casters, and fastening kitty-proof hemp-canvas covers over them. And if I’m feeling particularly fancy, switching out the drawer pulls—which ease access—for vintage glass ones.
