Space-saving Furniture: Beds With Storage
Jun 13th, 2011 by Jane R.
If you have a small bedroom, it might be difficult to fit all your stuff inside it. One ingenious solution is to make use of the substantial space beneath the mattress. This can easily be achieved by placing drawers in this gap. Some might think that beds with storage would be uncomfortable or unsightly, but that is hardly the case as there are several elegant and smart designs to choose from.
Most bed frames are made of wood, a material which has proven its versatility for many generations. It looks great and it can be adapted to a broad range of styles. It’s not hard to look for a wooden bed with drawers sporting a distinctive design. Cherry, oak, bamboo, poplar, and maple are the most popular varieties because of their beauty and durability. Aside from wood, metals are also used as they make strong frames. Upholstery can be accomplished with leather, cloth, suede and other materials.
Smaller sized beds can accommodate storage on one side, whereas the bigger sizes can have both sides lined with drawers. The frame can either be composed of sturdy wooden boards or steel with slats.
An alternative when shopping for adjustable beds for sale, would be to get beds with lift up storage. These feature hydraulic mechanisms to lift up the mattress and reveal the space at the bottom for storing items. They could open from the foot of the bed or have it sideways. This design is better for bedrooms that are so small that drawers at the sides cannot be opened fully.
There are also hybrid designs that combine these two concepts: a lifting mechanism and storage drawers. These are typically made of stainless steel.
Beds with storage drawers can found in different styles. Some have a canopy while others feature a loft, etc. They come in an assortment of materials and colors.
