What are the best storage beds?

What are the best storage beds? There are so many options, but which is best for you? Find out in this latest Bed Guru blog.

Let’s be honest, boxes under the bed can look cluttered – so why not achieve a flawless finish with a storage bed? Divan and ottoman beds can be an excellent solution if you’re looking to extend your storage capacity, as it transforms your bed into a multi-functional piece of furniture, without compromising on style.

When it comes to picking a storage bed, you’ll have plenty of options to consider – and the right option for you will depend on a number of things, like the dimensions of your bedroom and your design preferences. In this guide, we explore some of the best storage beds for different spaces.

Best for small spaces: The side opener

If you have a compact or narrow bedroom, a side-opening divan bed frame could be just the ticket. This solution enables you to maximise storage capacity without compromising on space in your room – you simply put one side of the bed right up against the wall, and you can access the storage by lifting up from the other side. Some side-opening divan beds allow you to choose which side you have access from.

Best for sloping ceilings: The half opener

If you sleep in an attic bedroom or a top-floor flat, you may have a sloping ceiling. Even if your ceiling is very low, you can still enjoy the benefits of an ottoman bed. A half-opening ottoman divan base opens from the foot of the bed, so you won’t need to have the ceiling height to accommodate a full mattress lift. It can also give you greater access to your storage – and you won’t have to choose between drawers and ottoman storage, because this type of bed often includes both.

Best for a classic look: Wooden bed frame with drawers

If you need to boost storage in your bedroom, but you don’t want to compromise on traditional design, it doesn’t mean you can’t have a storage bed. A wooden bed frame with built-in drawers could be the way to go – that way, you can enjoy a classic look and feel from your bed frame, as well as the added practical benefits that built-in storage provides.

Best for style: An upholstered storage bed

Bring a touch of style and elegance into your room with an upholstered storage bed. You can take your pick from a wide range of different materials and colours to match your décor, or you can go for a bold shade if you really want to make a statement. Some people find upholstered beds easier to live with, as the soft fabric feels softer, warmer, and more welcoming, compared to other, harder frames.

Best for luxury: Chesterfield-inspired ottoman bed frame

If you want a decadent storage bed that combines character and style, a frame with chesterfield inspired design could be just what you’re looking for. Upholstered with plush materials, the tall, deep, button headboard and frame achieves a luxurious look and feel in any room, while the built-in storage shows off its practical side.
