If you don’t have much room for a large side table, then take advantage of space under the bed. This platform bed has a very small wall-mounted table next to it, but the storage drawers underneath more than make up for not having a large nightstand. You could totally stock up on the bonbons with all this space!
An oasis of calm Plush, elegant furnishings add a decadent style to this expansive bedroom. Large windows fitted with translucent blinds allow a view of the outside while limiting harsh light. The tufted sofa at the foot the bed provides another soft surface to sink into, enhancing the feeling of comfort.
Snug Serenity A large, majestic upholstered headboard amps up the comfort factor in this bedroom. Blinds and screens on the windows provide shelter from the outside world, making this the perfect spot to hide away. Decor and frills are kept to a minimum, resulting in a clutter-free zone to calm the mind.
Restful retreat Patterned walls and drapes, muted tones and just the right amount of natural light come together to create a tranquil haven in this bedroom. The layering of fabrics, colours and elements adds to that snug feeling. The furniture pieces surrounding the bed are placed close together to create an intimate setting.
Basket case In a laid-back LA home, this beautiful bed with built-in storage space underneath, easily matches the coastal feel of the room, defined by the abundance of airy white in the walls, bedlinen and lamp shade, and the natural plywood ceiling. The woven storage baskets under the bed, ideal for relaxed yet still concealed storage.
Custom made Who says storage beds need to be a utilitarian option? There’s no rule stating that practical can’t be pretty too, as this custom-made bed proves with aplomb. The irregular cutouts serve as decoration, as well as out-of-the-box drawer pulls, and the design as a whole ties in well with the bright, fun style of the bedroom.
Slide on in Over in the UK, this upholstered bed was chosen not just for its plush good looks, but also for the super-handy storage drawer that slides out from the foot of the bed. This space is easily deep enough to store winter clothes, shoes and blankets, without detracting one bit from the aesthetic of the bed.
Draw on serenity If you prefer a less urban industrial vibe, this purpose-built model from the US’s Pottery Barn could be more likely to hit the mark. Its Shaker-style drawers and vintage drawer pulls give this bedroom some old-world charm while offering ample space to store hand-sewn quilts and a whole host of throw pillows.
Beautiful built-ins Built-ins are a great alternative to the traditional bedside table. These niches behind and to either side of this bed provide recessed lighting, table space and drawers.
