In our modern homes we often face a problem of lack of space, especially for storage. If you puzzle over how and where to organize your storage, we have a wonderful yet very simple idea for you: use the space under your coffee table! I’m sure that you forgot about it, though it’s genius and you can store lots and lots of things there. Some coffee table already has a shelf or shelves, but still there’s some space under the shelves and you can use it. If your coffee table doesn’t have any options, then just put your poufs, books, cushions or whatever you like underneath. We’ve rounded up some ideas to get inspired, enjoy!
Store Right Under The Table
You can use the under the table space to store whatever you like: put pillows, blankets, books and other stuff there. If you have a clear glass or acrylic table, they will be part of your decor, and if it’s not sheer, they will be hidden, which means your space will be less cluttered. The only disadvantage of this idea is that you objects are placed right on the floor, which isn’t always the best option, especially if you have small kids or pets that can reach them.
Place A Basket Or A Drawer
Another idea, a bit more functional, to my mind, is to place some baskets or drawers under the coffee table. There are tons of idea of such containers to go for: large bowls, platforms, baskets and woven drawers, boxes and wooden drawers and much other stuff – use them accordingly to the style you want to add to the space. The advantage of this idea is that the objects aren’t placed right on the floor, and they aren’t in easy reach.

Put Your Furniture Under The Table
One more idea to save some floor space is to put the furniture, which is not in need, under the coffee table. These are usually ottomans, stools and mini side and coffee tables. Ottomans and poufs can also feature some storage space inside – smart, isn’t it? Get more ideas below and enjoy!
