Create Additional Storage Around Your Bed Using a Clever Dollar Tree Solution



Everyone dreads the morning rush to gather accessories before heading out, so having an efficient storage system at the end of the night can significantly improve your day. Practical organization is particularly beneficial around the bed, as the ease of having items within reach as you wind down is invaluable. However, small nightstands can become cluttered with items, creating a disorganized pile — the last thing you want to deal with upon waking. Fortunately, there are several simple yet clever solutions to keep everything accessible, even when nightstand space is limited. The answer might be as simple as installing a hook!

Prepare for another Dollar Tree discovery to declutter and organize your cluttered nightstand by using small hooks on the bed. These strategically placed hooks allow you to securely store necklaces, watches, remotes, flashlights, headphones, chargers, ear plugs, sleep masks, hair ties, and more within easy reach. With a metal bed frame, you only need a few Jot Magnetic Hooks ($1.25 for two). The magnets attach to the side or back of the headboard, providing additional storage that can be repositioned as needed. These hooks work well on common steel or iron beds. However, brass and aluminum beds aren’t magnetic, so it’s wise to test the frame with a fridge magnet before purchasing. Even if your bed can’t accommodate magnetic hooks, there are still 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 easiest hacks to enhance bedroom organization, fitting discreetly onto metal headboards, footboards, and rails. Not all beds have metal components, but other Dollar Tree solutions can address this. Instead of magnetic hooks, consider adhesive hooks like the 4-Count Self-Adhesive Plastic Hooks, priced at $1.25 per pack. Each hook can support up to 3 pounds. If you’re concerned about the adhesive damaging your bed’s surface or leaving a sticky residue, place a small strip of delicate painter’s tape beneath the hook as a protective barrier.

Hanging hooks work well for various accessories, and you might be able to fashion hangers for items that lack one. For instance, Dollar Tree Jot Metal Book Rings can be taped to lightweight devices, allowing them to hang from the hook. Alternatively, consider using Self-Adhesive Hook and Loop Fasteners for items that don’t naturally hang. These fasteners are perfect for TV and ceiling fan remotes or any smooth-surfaced item that can hold the fastener. Attach one half of the fastener to the device and the other to a concealed section of your bed frame. This setup allows you to keep items close by while tidying up your nightstand for a more restful night’s sleep, all in one budget-friendly Dollar Tree trip!
