Create Extra Storage Around Your Bed With A Genius Dollar Tree Hack
Nobody likes the morning scramble to get their accessories together before rushing out the door, so a suitable storage system at night's end can do wonders in helping you have a better start to the day. Practical organization is especially useful around the bed. As we wind down, the pleasant convenience of storing items bedside is invaluable. Small nightstands, though, can create a confusing mess of items — the last thing you want to root through when you wake up. Luckily enough, several cleverly simple fixes can keep everything accessible, even when nightstand space is limited. In fact, the solution may be as easy as installing a hook!
Get ready for another Dollar Tree find to declutter and organize your messy nightstand, this time using small hooks on the bed. Conveniently-placed hooks let you safely keep necklaces, watches, remotes, flashlights, headphones, chargers, ear plugs, sleep masks, hair ties, and much more within arm's reach. With a metal bed frame, you only need a few Jot Magnetic Hooks ($1.25 for two). The magnets cling to the headboard's side or back, offering extra storage you can move as needed. You shouldn't have any problems using these on the more common steel or iron beds. Brass and aluminum beds, however, aren't magnetic, so you may want to test the frame with a fridge magnet before running to the store. But even if your bed can't use magnetic hooks, you still have some practical Dollar Tree storage solutions to make this hack work.
Dollar Tree tools to create more storage around the bed
Using a magnetic hook is one of the simplest hacks to make your bedroom more organized, fitting onto metal headboards, footboards, and rails for discreet storage. Of course, not all beds have metal pieces, but a few other Dollar Tree finds can solve that without issue. Rather than pick the magnet hooks, grab some adhesive hooks like these 4-Count Self-Adhesive Plastic Hooks, also running $1.25 per pack. Each hook can hold up to 3 pounds. If you're worried about the adhesive damaging your bed's surface or leaving a gunky residue on it, you can put a small strip of delicate painter's tape under the hook as a barrier.
Hanging hooks can work well for many accessories, and you may be able to rig hangers for items that don't already have one. Dollar Tree Jot Metal Book Rings, for instance, can hook to lightweight devices with tape to let them hang from the hook. Alternatively, you can pick up some Self-Adhesive Hook and Loop Fasteners for those items that don't naturally hang. Using these can be ideal for TV and ceiling fan remotes or just about anything else with a smooth surface to hold the fastener. Cut one half of the fastener to stick on the device and adhere the other part to a hidden section of your bed frame. You can easily put items close by while turning in and finally declutter your chaotic nightstand for a better night's sleep, all in a single, money-saving Dollar Tree trip!
