Storage Bed Guide

Priorities are changing. Storage and function now play a crucial role in thinking about how you will decorate and arrange your bedroom. Luckily, furniture designers have taken note of this, and now offer a variety of bed styles with storage to help you find the perfect balance between fashion and function. Whether you're trying to take advantage of a small space, or just appreciate the extra option, a storage bed may be the perfect solution for your needs.

Bookcase Beds/Headboard Storage

As the name implies, bookcase beds offer the 2-in-1 function of a bookcase and a bed. This bed style features a headboard with some form of shelving, making it a great display option for books, framed photos, or decorative pieces. However, if you'd rather hide clothing and other items out of sight, you may want to look to a different storage bed style.

Benefits of Bookcase Beds

Easier than adding shelves to your wall
Can save space by replacing a standard nightstand
Great for displaying and organizing items
Less suited for keeping items out of sight

Side-Bed/Under-Bed Storage

With this style, the storage exists under the side of the bed, often in one large drawer, or multiple side drawers. Like footboard storage, under-bed storage won't take up extra floor space, and makes a great option for a small bedroom, especially if you need to position your bed in a corner.

Benefits of Under-Bed Storage Beds

Drawers may be available for either side of the bed, or both sides
Bed style doesn't typically require a box spring
Often feature cedar-lined drawers to protect against moisture or infestations
Great for storing clothing or bedding
Common with youth beds, often called "Captain's Beds." Makes great additional storage for toys, clothes or extra bedding
