Storage Bed Solutions For Small Bedrooms
In most houses you will find one or two bedrooms that are the smallest of the bunch. While these are great spaces for children, single bedrooms, or guest rooms, they often pose the challenge of limited storage space. When it comes to decorating a small bedroom, finding furniture that fits and offers the practicalities of storage solutions is a must. Below are some of the excellent options for homeowners looking for storage bed solutions for those rooms with little to no storage space.
Ottoman beds
Ottoman beds have a hydraulic lift-top mechanism that reveals a spacious storage compartment underneath. This is a great option for storing seasonal bedding, clothes, or other bulky items. Ottoman beds are available to purchase in all bed frame sizes, making them the perfect fit for even the smallest of bedrooms. With this hidden under bed storage, there is no need to worry about finding additional storage space or floor space for extra bedroom furniture, it is all built into the bed frame itself. Easy to lift, ottoman storage beds are ideal for all demographics too.
Storage beds with drawers
Storage beds with drawers are another great option for storing items under the bed. These beds typically have two to four drawers on either side of the bed frame. The drawers are typically sized depending on the size and shape of the bed frame and must be well-maintained and not overloaded with items in order to function properly. However, they are the perfect storage solution for light summer clothing and extra bedding and fabrics.
Daybeds
Although daybeds do not offer storage for extra household items, they are included in the list because they can store an additional mattress underneath the main frame that can be rolled in and out, depending on when it is needed. A day bed can also transform as a sofa or sitting area with some designs including extra drawer storage to the base of the frame. Day beds are particularly useful for box rooms with multiple purposes, such as an office and guest bedroom.
Platform beds
If you’re not looking for a bed with built-in storage but still want the option to store items underneath the bed, the best choice is a platform bed.
Raised slightly from the ground, a platform bed offers ample under-bed floor space, providing plenty of storage space for belongings you just don’t need right now. For example, you may wish to store boxes of seasonal decorations or seasonal clothing that is currently not required elsewhere in the house.
When buying a storage bed for a small bedroom, you should consider the size of the bed frame and take accurate measurements. This will guarantee that the dimensions of the bed frame will fit perfectly into your space.
