Minimalist storage beds

Now, let’s be honest, can you ever have enough storage space? I don’t think so – I’d say the more, the better!

When choosing an ottoman bed, measure your room first to make sure it fits. If you’re looking to create a simple, relaxing bedroom scheme, then a grey or muted pastel shade is a great choice for your bed frame. Go for sleek and fine accessories and minimal bedding to complete the look.

Statement storage beds

You can never go wrong with a grand and glamorous bed, and it’s even better if it has storage to help you hide any less frequently used items in your bedroom. Be it a stand-out royal blue ottoman bed or a scallop-inspired bed frame in a sugary shade, these designs are set to transform your space into a pared-back luxurious room. Choose sophisticated cushions and throws, metallic accents and jewel-toned textures for a cohesive scheme.
