subject: Quick On The Drawer Be Aware Of The Different Storage Bed Options [print this page] Its well known that modern houses are generally smaller than those built in past generations. And nowhere is this usually more apparent than in the size of the bedrooms.
Whereas once these rooms offered plenty of space for not just the bed, but also other furniture items such as wardrobes, chests of drawers, vanity tables and bedside cabinets, now it is quite often the case that these extra pieces have to be sacrificed to make sufficient room for those which are considered essential.
This is the main reason for the rise of the storage divan. These beds offer a useful combination of all the functionality of a modern divan, with the added convenience of drawers or cupboards built into the base.
The choice of types of storage is also comprehensive. While drawers are the most common solution, there are also bed models available where the storage area is accessed by sliding doors in the base, or where the top of the base opens up to reveal a large space underneath which can be used to stash many items.
Drawer configurations vary too. The most common option, and the one providing the most storage space, is the four-drawer design. These are fitted into the large void between the horizontal surfaces of the bed base, and depending on the depth of that base, can really take large numbers of items.
Other options for the layout of the drawers include a pair of drawers in the top or bottom half of the base only; large drawers in the bottom with narrower ones in the top of the base to allow the bed to be placed between a headboard with bedside cabinets; and drawers in the top half of a base with a large drawer fitted in the end of one half of the base, to provide three drawers the one in the end of the bed being considerably larger than the other two.
Buying a modern divan bed doesnt mean that the space underneath has to be wasted. The various storage bed options available mean that a bed can also have a useful and practical dual purpose.
