Getting the Most of our Square Footage

We all wish we have all the money to buy a home here in the city that have enough living space. However we have to pay for square footage and it is not cheap! For people on a budget like me, we now have a choice of having enough space by living in the suburbs or staying in a smaller place in the city. If you want to enjoy the amenities and have less travel time, living in the city is the choice. If you are living in a studio or using or living room as a guest room, or a guest room doubles as your study, you don't have to live in a cramp space, the answer is multifunctional furniture and clever storage solutions.

Bed with storage

Sometimes you have a very small bedroom that you don't have enough room for other furniture like the dresser or an armoire. A bed that integrates storage would be the solution. If you just need storage for the comforter, blankets or seasonal clothes, the lift up storage bed is a good solution.


For the budget conscious, you can try the Sultan Alsarf Foundation with storage. The slatted base can be lifted and you can store linens underneath. If you want a coordinated look, a matching mattress is available but sold separately.

If you have enough space, you can have Bunk Bed Tall Twin over Twin Mission Style in Honey with Stairway and Trundle. Guardrails are included for the top bunk.With the stairway which can be set up on either side you don't have to deal with ladders. It has under stair storage for underwear, socks, etc. The twin size roll out trundle is great for sleep-overs and comes mattress-ready with slat roll foundation.

If you want more storage instead of the trundle bed consider the Stairway Bunk Bed Twin over Twin in White with 3 Drawers Built in to the Steps and 2 Under Bed Drawers

You can also have South Shore Furniture Cosmos Collection Twin Mates Bed, Black Onyx and Charcoal with under bed storage. The sets of drawers under the bed would be a good place underwear, socks, sweat shirts, etc.

 

But if you want an extra bed for a guest as well then the Captain's Bed with Trundle and Storage Drawers in White Size: Twin will better fit your needs. It not only offers 3 drawers but a trundle bed for someone who sleepover as well.



If you want to have storage even in the headboard, then you can  buy a headboard with storage compartment like ODDA,  a single bed headboard with open shelves and a hidden pull-out storage unit with casters.
