If you are not favored by spacious rooms, you are probably familiar with the lack of storage space and counter space, especially in the bedrooms, where space is usually saved. Clever spatial planning and functional furniture reduce the disadvantages of small living space. A bed with a shelf at the headboard or above brings out several pro points for the small bedroom or children's room.
Bed with shelves built into the headboard on both sides - functional and stylish
It is always desirable to have an area around the sleeping bed, even the smallest one, where you can easily place at least a book, a glass of water and a cell phone. This function is usually performed by the bedside table, which either functions as a separate piece of furniture or is mounted on the headboard of the bed. Coherent night light is also needed and this can either be wall mounted or free standing.

If there are complaints about storage space, it makes sense to carefully consider each piece of furniture to see whether it is optimal for the room situation. A bed measuring 140 x 200 is completely sufficient for two people and leaves at least 60cm left compared to a huge double bed. Models with a shelf superstructure enormously optimize the space that the bed takes up.

Drawers can be integrated under the lying surface, even if none were planned for in the original construction. You can mount narrow rollers on the bottom of simple boxes made of plastic or wood and thus provide additional storage options. This is only optional for slightly higher bed designs.

If the bed is relatively low to the floor, there is no way to store anything underneath. Shelves above can be wonderfully designed and used as conventional storage space and at the same time as bedside tables. According to this principle, entire wall designs like bookcase shelves could be created.

A niche is created separately for the bed headboard and shelves are designed around it. All of them are either mounted directly on the wall or constructed together as a whole wall system. A conventional headboard is missing, but one is designed using the colored paint, which also serves as an accent in the room.
