Beds with storage

Finding a place for everything in our homes is a constant struggle and the bedroom is no exception. Striving for a calm sleeping zone with absolutely no clutter on show is the ultimate dream, but the reality is often overflowing drawers, heaving wardrobes and untidy surfaces and floors. Rather than spending money on more closets, cabinets and bedside chests, consider an all-in-one solution – the storage bed.  This style of bed can help solve all your storage dilemmas instantly. It will maximise the use of space in your bedroom and provide convenient hiding spots to keep spare bedding, out-of-season clothes and accessories that you don’t need on show. There’s a great choice available for every budget and different types to suit your home. 

If space is tight, an ottoman is a good option and works by using a mechanism to lift the mattress to around head height for access, revealing a spacious storage area inside. Mattresses are usually sold separately. The divan remains a popular choice for UK consumers and most come fitted with storage drawers. Drawers are usually located in one or both sides of the bed and/or at the foot end and can be disguised by fabric valances. Ottoman-style divans are also available, which provide an under-bed storage area, plus drawers. A standard bedstead/frame with the addition of storage drawers is a versatile option. If you often have family and friends to stay, you may wish to consider an extending storage bed that not only has drawers but also includes a pull-out guest bed.
