Extra storage space in your home means you can keep rooms tidy and clutter-free, and ottoman beds and daybeds are the ideal way to store items. However, both sofas and ottomans offer great storage solutions, which one is right for you? Take a look at these pros and cons of each here…
divan beds for storage
Chaise lounges are a popular choice for storage, as items can be easily accessed through the drawers in the base of the chaise lounge. Most sofas contain at least two drawers that are deep enough to hold anything from sheets to books to toys.
Depending on the product you choose, you may be able to access these drawers by pulling them out or sliding them across a panel to access the area under the bed. In most cases, opting for pull-out drawers is a better option, as it’s easier to store items neatly in them, and as you pull them out, you’ll be able to clearly see what’s inside.
One of the main disadvantages of sofas for storage purposes is that in most cases you will need to pay more for the drawers, they are usually between £30 and £100 or more depending on how many drawers you need. and the actual cost of the divan and mattress. . Daybeds are ideal if you need easy access to items stored in bed, and because the drawers are integrated, they offer a reliable and stylish storage solution.
storage ottomans
Ottoman beds work similarly to a traditional ottoman, in that to access items stored in the base, simply lift the top half of the base. Ottomans are a good option if you have a lot of items to store as you have access to a space the full size of your bed which gives you plenty of storage space, especially if you have a king size.
Ottomans are generally classic in style and many leather ottoman beds can add a touch of glamor to the bedroom. One disadvantage of an ottoman is that some people may find it difficult to access the storage space, as the entire top half of the base needs to be lifted. Ottomans are great for storing items you don’t need to use on a regular basis, like spare sheets or duvets, and many feature an easy or assisted lift action to make opening the storage space much easier.
One possible downside to ottomans is that they tend to be more expensive than daybeds. If you need a lot of storage space, as well as a super stylish bed, ottoman beds are a great option for your home.
