Beds With Drawers

A bed with drawers gives you access to the space underneath without lifting the mattress. Each drawer pulls out separately, making it handy when you want to grab a fresh set of sheets or swap a lighter duvet for something warmer.

The drawer layout makes a difference to how the bed works in your room. Side-opening drawers need space beside the frame, while a drawer at the foot of the bed opens into the area beyond it. Nearby bedside tables and other furniture should leave enough room for the drawers you’ll use most.

The frame sets the look above the storage. Buttoned linen and velvet beds bring a softer feel around the headboard, while natural wood, rustic oak and painted finishes offer a more classic look. A day bed with drawers can work well in a spare room that doubles as somewhere to sit during the day.

Inside, smaller baskets or organisers can help keep things separate, so you don’t have to rummage through a whole drawer. The items you reach for every morning can stay in a chest of drawers, leaving the bed storage for things you need less often.
