subject: Storage Beds: Best Bed For Function And Style [print this page] Storage beds offer functionality and practicality which makes them one of the most popular beds today among modern consumers. The best feature is the storage drawers and compartments that are built right into the bed frames. Small bedrooms can accommodate even a large storage bed because there is no need for extra dressers or chests to store personal items. This frees up additional floor space in many bedrooms. There are many different types of beds from which to choose which makes it easy for just about anyone to find the right bed.
There are 3 basic types of storage beds available. The captain's storage bed was perhaps the first bed with drawers ever built and has its history rooted in the nautical tradition. However, this bed has come a long way from seafaring times when the ship's captain merely slept on a twin size captains bed with drawers and compartments underneath. Today, you can find heirloom quality captain storage beds in just about any size, storage design and style to suit anyone.
Secondly, the platform storage bed is the modern version of storage bedroom furniture and offers a plethora of options. You can find this bed in a variety of finishes, colors, styles and storage configurations that is suitable for children, teens or adults.
The third option for a storage bed is found by using a bed frame that is built for additional storage drawers underneath. While this option is not the most expensive design, it can provide supreme practicality for those who don't want to spend alot of money while adding extra drawers for storing items. You can find separate bed drawers that are built from solid wood, plastic, duck material, wire or wicker. Many of these portable drawers provide wheels underneath for easy sliding under the bed frame.
Before choosing a bed, be sure to compare designs, styles, storage features, quality and prices to ensure that you make a wise choice. Also, take into consideration how much floor space you have in your bedroom and what storage bed frame size that will suit your purposes.
