I use a valance - why does anyone need to see that I have storage under the bed? hehe

Yup another vote for the valance sheet here

I would buy a double sheet and drape it over the bed so it looks like a valance sheet, nobody would look at it anyway! They may question whether there are some drawers hidden undernath, but that would add to the whole mystique of the spare bedroom!

My hubby requested we buy some for our divans, bless him!

So, another vote for a valance!

Id get a box valance, not a frilly one!

I made a valance for ours. It's velcro'd to the base (under the mattress) and has a lift up section where the drawers are.

And it's flat, not frilly.

I'd go for a box pleated valance so it wasn't ruffly http://www.laredoute.co.uk/cotton-canvas-box-pleated-valance.htm?ProductId=324155924

No way would I leave the base uncovered whether or not it had storage.

why would you want to show your 'drawers' off? a valance is a great idea - and I would put the valuables in the drawers once hidden. under spare blankets or clothes of course!
PS - I used the underbed drawers in the spare room to hide the grandkids Christmas presents.

That's the type we use on both of our beds. Then a normal fitted sheet on the mattress. Showing the drawers would look ugly - especially if the bed has a pattern on it.
