Let us be honest clutter is killing the vibe
Your bedroom should be a sanctuary. A calm place where you switch off, recharge and pretend tomorrow does not exist yet.
But for many of us, it ends up as a storage unit with a bed in the middle.
Piles of clothes. Spare bedding. Shoes with no mates. Stuff that does not belong anywhere but somehow lives everywhere.
The truth is most bedrooms are not badly styled. They are badly stored.
At Funkybedz, we believe style and storage should work together, not against each other. You should not have to choose between a beautiful bedroom and a practical one. You can have both. Easily.
Why storage beds are the backbone of a stylish bedroom
Storage beds are the ultimate cheat code for modern living.
They use space you already have but probably waste. The area under your mattress.
Instead of stuffing things under the bed in mismatched boxes and hoping nobody looks, storage beds give you built in organisation that is hidden, sleek and intentional.
This instantly frees up floor space, reduces visual clutter and makes your room feel calmer.
And yes, storage beds are sexy. We stand by that.
Ottoman beds the storage kings
If you want maximum storage with minimum effort, ottoman beds are unmatched.
The entire mattress lifts to reveal a full storage base underneath.
This is prime real estate for spare duvets, seasonal clothes, luggage or anything you do not need every day.
Because everything is hidden, your bedroom instantly looks tidier even if life is still a bit chaotic underneath.
For small bedrooms, ottoman beds are a game changer. You remove the need for extra furniture and let the room breathe.
Side lift or end lift which one suits your space
Not all rooms are laid out the same, which is why lift direction matters.
Side lift storage beds
Side lift storage beds are ideal when you have limited space at the foot of the bed.
They open from the side, making access easy in narrow rooms or where wardrobes sit close by.
End lift storage beds
End lift storage beds open from the foot and are perfect if you have space at the bottom of the bed.
They give a clear view of the entire storage area and feel very natural to use.
Both options offer the same storage capacity. It is all about what works best for your room layout.
Drawer storage beds for everyday essentials
If you want storage that is quick and accessible, drawer beds might be your thing.
Storage beds with drawers are brilliant for items you reach for regularly.
Think extra pillows, nightwear, gym gear or those cables you swear you will organise one day.
They keep everything within arm’s reach while maintaining a clean look.
Just make sure you have enough clearance space for drawers to open comfortably.
Style tips that make storage beds look intentional
A storage bed should never look like a compromise.
At Funkybedz, our beds are designed to be statement pieces as well as practical solutions.
Choose the right upholstery
Fabric choice sets the tone of the room.
Soft neutrals create a calm hotel feel.
Darker tones add drama and depth.
Velvet brings luxury. Linen keeps things relaxed.
If you need help deciding, the fabric guide is a great place to start.
Let the headboard do the talking
A strong headboard draws the eye upward, making the room feel taller and more polished.
Wingback and chesterfield styles are perfect for this.
They add presence without adding clutter.
Make small bedrooms feel bigger with smart storage
Small bedrooms suffer most from poor storage choices.
Free standing furniture eats up precious space and creates visual noise.
Storage beds streamline everything into one central piece.
This keeps the room feeling open, organised and purposeful.
Pair a storage bed with minimal bedside tables and soft lighting and you will be amazed how much bigger the space feels.
Do not forget the mattress it matters
A beautiful bed still needs to be comfortable.
Pair your storage bed with the right mattress from the Funkybedz mattress collection.
Memory foam, pocket sprung or orthopaedic options all work perfectly with storage bases.
The right mattress completes the setup and ensures your bedroom is not just stylish but sleep approved.
Extra storage without ruining the look
If you want to take things further, accessories can help.
End of bed benches add both style and subtle storage.
They are perfect for throws, cushions or tomorrow’s outfit.
They also help anchor the bed visually and make the room feel complete.
