Keep More Than Monsters Under the Bed

Sending the kids off to college may be many, many years away, but check out those back-to-school sales for youthful — but not character-covered — room organizers. If the kids’ room used to be your den, office or is otherwise closet-sized, things like the Underbed Storage Bag ($14.99) can help make a tiny space work. Made of polyester, the storage bag has a clear top so you can easily see what you’ve slid away, but features fabric sides with mesh pockets for things you might need more frequently.
