Whether you live in a small one-bedroom apartment, or a mansion with rooms big enough to place a small home into, one thing always seems to be the case; there is never enough storage space. One area that quickly becomes a catch-all for items is under the bed because it is an easy place to slide things to, and when needed, it is easy to dig stuff out of. The main problem with this is that when things are randomly thrown into place, they can either be damaged or damage other items already underneath the bed. For that reason, among others we will not get into here, some creative storage ideas for king-size bed frames seem to be in order.
Build Drawers For Your King-Size Bed Frame
The first thing you can do to make some storage area under your frame bed is to build some drawers and cupboards (this will not work under a solid platform bed unless you just want to build some small drawers that just line the outside.) If you do not like to construct things, you can always go to the nearest home improvement or retail store and buy some square cubicles and put them under the bed. Make sure to have some measurements before going to the store so you can buy ones that will slide right under the bed.
Make Some Dividers For Your King-Size Bed Frame
An extremely easy way to organize items under your king bed frame with storage capabilities is to add some dividers underneath. This means cutting some pieces of wood (any kind you want, from particle board to Oak) and sliding them underneath, from one end to the other. You will need to make some sort of frame around the bottom edge of the boards, or you can attach them along the tops to hide them a little better. Either way, once they are in place, you can place items of like size in each slot so you can keep them organized and easy to get to.
Buy A New King-Size Bed Frame
If you have the means, instead of messing around with the options above, you can go all out and buy a new king-size bedframe. One designed to have storage areas underneath it, such as built-in drawers. Plus, with this option, you can change the style and design of your bed and your bedroom by simply getting a new bed frame. For example, if you have a lovely dark wood floor and Polar Bear White walls and ceiling, you could buy a light blue or green bed frame to make your bed resemble a raft sitting at the dock waiting to disappear into the sea. Or something like that, use your imagination and let your mind take you into the great peacefulness you can only get from a great night’s sleep.
Final Thoughts
Turning your existing king-size bed frame into a place to store your things efficiently and creatively does not take a ton of skill. Just some basic woodworking knowledge and some patience. If you don’t have the time or want to put effort into the project, there are options out there that can be bought, such as a new bed frame. However, if you choose to go that route, read an article or two about picking the best king-size bed frame for your needs. Otherwise, you may end up getting home to find out that you have purchased something that is all wrong for your room and for the design that you want to go with.
Remember, in the end, the style you go with needs to suit your needs and wants, so take your time to evaluate the room, the bed, and everything you need to store before you make any lasting decisions.
