Whether you’re in a tiny studio or a sprawling multi-room apartment, bedroom storage is forever a problem. Closets are never big enough, but you don’t want to pack so many dressers and cabinets into your space that it feels clunky and crowded. The solution? Well, it can be found with a simple glance down: storage beds. Storage beds are a fantastic way to get more space without adding extra furniture, and a lot of them are so stylishly designed you almost don’t even notice the drawers are there. Plus, with so many configurations available — from closed drawers and open shelves, to storage on the sides or at the foot of the bed — it’s easy to find a bed that fits your needs and space. We rounded up some of our favorite storage beds to help you start your search and solve the problem of bedroom storage once and for all.
