You can’t always control the amount of closet space you have in your home. But when it comes to finding sneaky storage solutions, designers know the tricks of the trade exceedingly well. One classic standby Havenly’s team of interior experts turn to again and again is the storage bed.

The best storage beds have drawers built into their structure, so you can easily tuck away extra linens, off-season clothing, and more — without having to worry about concealing boxes and bins with a bed skirt. Best of all, they’re designed to look streamlined and intentional; some have drawers that are so smartly concealed that pulling them out can almost double as a magic trick.

So, when you’re working with limited square footage and you don’t have ample room in your closets to stash away everything you want out of sight, a storage bed can make a great — and stylish — solution. Here are the best storage beds on the market right now, according to Havenly designer Kelsey Fischer.

1. Best Storage Beds: Interior Define Graham Bed

If you want endless color and fabric options to choose from, Interior Define’s upholstered Graham bed may be your best bet. The round corners on this bed prevent it from looking too bulky, and piping gives it an extra refined look. Best of all, its drawers are fully upholstered for stylish storage.

2. Best Storage Beds: Pottery Barn Astoria Storage Platform Bed

Transitional wooden storage bed with carved details and warm honey-brown finish

Talk about subtle! If you prefer your bed to not sit too close to the ground, but you still want to get a bit more storage out of it, this Pottery Barn bed frame is a great option. While it eschews extra drawer space, its headboard has three alcoves on each side, where you can tuck away books and even small baskets to hold knickknacks.

3. Best Storage Beds: Room & Board Wyatt Bed

Contemporary sage green upholstered storage bed with open drawer and modern silhouette

Room & Board’s low-profile Wyatt bed is a contemporary option that would look right at home in an upscale hotel. Its large drawer — which pulls out at the base of the bed — is sizeable enough to store extra bedding, pillows, and even off-season sweaters.

4. Best Storage Beds: Crate and Barrel Arvada Storage Bed

Mid-century modern storage bed combining natural wood frame with warm tan headboard

The mixed materials of this Crate and Barrel storage bed offer a subtle, high-end contrast. The upholstered faux mohair headboard gives this structured piece of furniture a softer touch — while a drawer at its base is all utilitarian.

5. Best Storage Beds: Pottery Barn Teen Ezra Storage Bed

Traditional dark wood storage bed with rich espresso finish and understated elegance

Contrasting tones make Pottery Barn’s Ezra storage bed a unique piece for a modern bedroom. Black accents, paired with walnut wood, lend this piece a slightly moody vibe. With four drawers that each pull out on one side of the bed, it’s a great choice for getting maximum storage space.

6. Best Storage Beds: Room & Board Hudson Bed

Rustic wood storage bed with dual drawers in warm medium-brown tones

Built to last by artisans in West Virginia, Room & Board’s Hudson Bed is made with solid walnut wood that has an eye-catching wood grain. With four drawers — two on each side — it’s well-equipped to help you hide away all your extra linens and more.

7. Best Storage Beds: Arhaus Tremont Storage Bed

Farmhouse storage bed with nailhead-trim headboard and natural wood in soft whitewash

The Tremont storage bed by Arhaus has plenty of personality, as evidenced by its linen and wood tack-studded headboard. This piece shows you don’t have to conceal storage for a clean look, either: Drawer pulls add an extra stylish detail to this piece.

8. Best Storage Beds: Pottery Barn Sussex Polished Storage Bed

Coastal farmhouse storage bed in crisp white with clean lines and airy design

With delicate molding that gives it a refined look, Pottery Barn’s Sussex storage bed is a great option for a bright and breezy bedroom. Its bright white wood structure packs a lot of storage space in a streamlined frame.

9. Best Storage Beds: West Elm Contemporary Storage Bed

Contemporary gray upholstered storage bed with clean lines and neutral tones

Another upholstered option, this storage bed from West Elm is designed with a drawer that pulls out at its bottom. The bed’s sleek design makes it a versatile option; perhaps best of all, it’s customizable in three different types of fabric.

10. Best Storage Beds: West Elm Shelter Side Storage Bed

Modern cream channeled headboard bed with side storage drawers

Here’s a great choice who want their bed to make more of a statement. A vertical tufted headboard gives this West Elm storage bed an Art Deco-meets-modern feel that’s well-suited for luxe or more eccentric spaces. Two side drawers make it just as functional as it is stylish.

11. Best Storage Beds: Wayfair Upholstered Storage Bed

Industrial green storage bed with lift-up mechanism and open storage cavity

Looking for a budget-friendly option? Wayfair has your back with this upholstered bed. While it doesn’t come equipped with drawers, a mattress on the bed can easily be lifted up — thanks to a hydraulic lift system — so you can stash linens and other extras underneath.

12. Best Storage Beds: Pottery Barn Folsom Platform Storage Bed

Rustic natural wood platform bed with integrated drawer storage underneath

If you love the look of a headboard-free bed, Pottery Barn’s platform bed may be more your speed. With six(!) drawers, it offers considerable storage space, without looking bulky or utilitarian. Its light wood color makes it a great choice for minimal or coastal-inspired bedrooms.
