Any decluttering expert would say that freeing space up involves throwing a lot of stuff away in order to keep the space neat and in order. This can be avoided when you furnish your bedroom by making the most of storage furniture such as an ottoman bed. Ottoman beds allow you to not only declutter your bedroom but also to keep all the things you are not ready to get rid of by simply hiding them (or tidying them as we say in the UK!) in the dedicated storage space built into the bed base.
The storage area of an ottoman bed is very easy to access. The mattress basically rests on top of the bed base/storage space and can easily be lifted up by a spring assisted or hydraulic lifter. The mattress is securely held in place so that it won’t slide or fall off the side. The storage space underneath the mattress is entirely enclosed in the bed base so that all the items you have placed inside are kept off the floor which ensures they are not exposed to the dust or to your guest’s sight.
Depending on your bedroom configuration, you can choose from two different styles of storage ottoman bed. The most common option is the end opening ottoman bed. But in most models, this design doesn’t allow you to add a footend, as this will prevent you from accessing the storage area properly. The other option is the side opening ottoman bed which is a particularly appropriate bed design when the only spot you have to place your bed is against a wall. Besides a side opening ottoman bed can also be paired with a check or foot board at the base of it, which makes it look like a traditional bed.
Ottoman beds are great pieces of practical furniture that are perfect to help you declutter your bedroom space while still having everything you need within arm’s reach. You can keep many things under the bed, from your seasonal clothing to extra bed linens. When considering an ottoman bed for your own bedroom, it is quite important to give some thought to the size that will work best for you: you have to determine the ideal size according to your needs and storage expectations.
If you share the bed with a partner (and maybe also a child every now and again) then it will make sense for you to go for a king-size ottoman bed. But if you think that you are already lacking living space in your bedroom, a small double or double ottoman bed will probably be a better bet. Lastly, if the size of the storage space is what you value the most in a storage bed, then a super king size ottoman will most likely be the best option for you.
