A well-organized bedroom is more conducive to relaxing in, but less-than-ideal storage solutions can make an orderly space feel like a fantasy. While fabric bins for storing blankets are well-liked for their affordable and easy-to-implement nature, they also have a number of drawbacks such as needing a shelf or storage unit to be placed upon; they can also be cheap-looking if you're not careful. For a better way to conceal blankets, there's an underbed storage solution available from Target — the Happimess Chett Underbed Storage Bin — that is stylish and functional, helping to keep blankets out of sight.

Normally retailing for $159.48, the storage bin is designed with helpful features that make it practical for under-the-bed storage. Firstly, it is equipped with wheels, so it can roll out for easy access of contents and back under when you no longer need it, unlike fabric bins that must be lifted and taken where you want them. There is also a leather handle on either end, allowing you to securely grip and maneuver the bin. A removable linen liner can help you keep your blanket storage pristine by regularly removing it and shaking out any debris. While highly practical, the water hyacinth material of the bin's exterior is also soothing and compatible enough to work with natural decor schemes. Prior to purchasing the bin, double-check the clearance under your bed — the bin's measurements are just over 9 inches high, slightly over 26 ⅓ inches wide, and 18 ½ inches deep.

To fully utilize the storage potential of this bin and make retrieving your blankets an easy process, consider rolling them to fit the width of the container or file folding them. When you need to grab a blanket, it will be easy to see what is where in this must-have, under-bed storage solution. While feedback on this rolling bin is limited, one five-star review on Target's site states, "They are [made] for underneath the bed, but as I said they are so elegant you don't need to hide them. A great purchase!"

In addition to using them for storing blankets that aren't currently in use, the pull-out design of this bin also makes it practical for clothing that you need out of the way. Out-of-season items can be placed in garment storage bags and stowed for easy access during transitional times of the year rather than being inaccessible in an attic or basement bin. Likewise, this is a completely hidden way to to organize shoes that you only use sometimes — such as fancy heels or warm winter boots — because it protects them from dust and prevents them from being crushed in the bottom of a shoe closet. This bin could also make an ideal addition to guest rooms, since you can keep all of your company's linens nicely contained. Bath towels, washcloths, and extra blankets stored under the bed mean that your guests can help themselves to whatever they need without feeling as though they are inconveniencing you.
