MAXIMIZING BEDROOM STORAGE Finding extra storage areas in your bedroom is essential, whether it's for off-season clothes, linens or extra blankets. If you've already made the most of your dresser and closet, consider investing in a bed frame with built-in drawers or an ottoman-style bed where the mattress itself lifts up or rolls out to reveal hidden storage. Storage beds come in a variety of styles so you should be able to find one to meet your budget and style preferences. A storage bed helps keep your room looking neat and tidy, while also protecting your stored items from dust unlike simply placing them loose under the bed. If you're concerned about the weight of lifting an ottoman bed, rest assured: most models come with hydraulic systems to make lifting the mattress easy and keep it suspended until you're ready to close it. However, one thing to consider before purchasing a storage bed is the size and weight, especially if you like to rearrange your furniture often. Once assembled, these beds can be difficult to disassemble and move, so be sure the frame can fit through your doorways before putting it together. Finally, no matter which type of storage bed you choose, plan ahead to ensure you’ll have enough space in your bedroom to easily access the storage compartments. Typically you’ll need at least 24 inches of clearance on either side of the bed to fully access drawers or lift mechanisms without obstruction.
