The challenges of small bedrooms Between awkward corners, limited floor space, and the constant battle for storage, it’s easy for things to feel cramped and chaotic in a small bedroom. And when every square inch counts, you’ve got to get clever with your layout. One of the biggest challenges? Storage. Wardrobes, drawers, and bedside tables can take up loads of room and often leave barely enough space to move around. That’s where multifunctional furniture really shines. The more jobs one piece can do, the better! And let’s not forget how important it is to keep things looking light and airy in a small space to create the illusion of more room. Bulky furniture can quickly make a small room feel even smaller. So, when it comes to choosing the best beds for small spaces, it’s all about something compact, practical, and easy on the eye. Enter the trusty Ottoman bed. How Ottoman beds solve space issues Ottoman beds are the ultimate storage superheroes. With a simple lift (thanks to a handy hydraulic mechanism), the whole mattress base rises up to reveal a seriously roomy space underneath. It’s perfect for stashing away extra bedding, pillows, blankets, or those bulky winter jumpers you won’t need for months. And here’s the clever bit: unlike storage beds with drawers, Ottomans lift vertically. So there’s no need to shuffle your furniture around or leave space on either side. Their easy-lift system makes them ideal for snug bedrooms and makes for a brilliant way to clear the clutter without cramping your style. Want to see how they work?
