Everyday Storage Heroes:
In the wise words of the organised sorting queen herself, Marie Kondo: “Clutter is caused by a failure to return things to where they belong. Therefore, storage should reduce the effort needed to put things away, not the effort needed to get them out.” There are some really simple ways to introduce storage into your bedroom that’s both stylish and functional.
Investing in a storage bed is a great space-saving idea, whether you’re a little tight for space or just want to achieve that flawless finish without the clutter of boxes. They are available in a range of sizes and tend to be slightly bigger than a standard bed, so we’ve included a helpful table below to give you some idea of where sizes start from.

Danetti expert; Buyer, Kelly Harvey says: “Ottoman storage beds allow you to create more invaluable storage space in your bedroom. Whether that’s for bedding, clothing or shoes – it might be the space you never thought you needed but once you have it, you won’t know how you lived without it. Our bed designs are stylish and sleek, meaning the storage is a hidden benefit that only you, the customer, needs to know about.”
Our Nifty & Neutral Pick:
Available in both a plush grey and champagne velvet finish, the Manolo has been designed with both luxury and practicality in mind. It’s all about luxe detailing with its smooth velvet upholstery, deep button detailing and winged headboard which adds to that cosy feeling, whilst it’s also easy to assemble and great value for money for a king size ottoman bed.
Our Stuck for Space Pick:
If you’re going for a double bed due to your space being a little smaller, that doesn’t mean you have to compromise on style. The Amalfi is a customer favourite with its modern and luxurious look, available in 5 luxe velvet shades as a double bed, with the added bonus of internal storage. Our elegant and beautiful short-pile velvets are made from-quality 100% polyester with high abrasion resistance so they will not bobble, maintaining the bed’s beauty.
All our King Size and Double storage beds feature high grade 750N capacity hydraulic pistons, helping you to lift your ottoman bed easily and smoothly with your mattress in place. They can support a mattress weight of up to 76kg, establishing a long-lasting and durable storage solution. This feature is not only practical for storing your bedding or shoes, but the spacing is generous and safe to access. Combined with our standard-fitted hardboard bases, it’s a storage dream as you can also easily hide away those non-essentials that you don’t need as often.
Our Pretty & Practical extra picks:
If you have space beneath a window or a room at the foot of your bed, it’s worth considering a storage bench. We sell a matching ottoman storage seat in the Amalfi range which comes in light grey, dark teal or champagne velvet. The lid lifts up using hydraulic pistons, making the movement smooth and easy to lift. Inside, there's plenty of space to store away those items you don't need every day, like spare throws or towels. If you want to go for something a little smaller, go for the Zara ottoman storage cube which comes in blush pink, light grey or navy blue – it can even double as a stool for your dressing table. The cube is a great use of space, ideal for those items you use day to day, but want to keep tucked away.
