Captain Beds

To regain control of a cluttered bedroom, invest in a captain bed. Captain beds typically have two or more drawers built into the bed frame under the bed. They may have up to sixteen small drawers below the mattress, utilizing your space to the utmost. While the space under the bed is fully utilized, some beds take it a step further. The headboards of some beds, particularly kid captain beds, double as a bookshelf, giving you a unique place to display trophies, books, candles, or picture frames.

Space-Saving Solutions

With a mattress resting on a set of drawers, you are making the most of your space. Whether you use the drawers to replace a cabinet or chest of drawers, or to merely supplement your existing limited storage space, a captain bed stretches your space to meet your needs. A full-size captain bed or queen captain bed contains ample drawers underneath to keep clutter from overtaking your room or closet. A captain bed with shelves on the headboard eliminates the need for a bedside table, saving even more precious space.

Arranging the Bedroom - You're Under Captains Orders

With a captain bed, since it is more than just a bed, consider how you plan to arrange the room before you purchase a bed. Typically, with a full- to king-sized bed, the bed occupies the space in the center of the wall opposite from the entrance. With this arrangement, the headboard is the focal point in the room. You might consider a captain bed with nooks and crannies in the headboard on which to display decorations. Some twin captain beds have drawers on both sides, while others have deep drawers on just one side. If you plan to place your bed in a corner, keep this in mind when shopping. In no time at all, you will once again be the captain of your clutter.
