10 Stylish West Elm Storage Beds That’ll Hide Clutter Out of Sight
When you live in a small space, you start creating storage out of spots in the home you didn’t even think were capable of producing it. Suddenly, the sliver of space above your kitchen cabinets is being used for extra shampoo bottles, and the area between the wall and the back of the sofa is where your luggage goes. To help you make more efficient use of wall space, floor space, and everything in between, we always recommend investing in organizers. And these don’t have to be complicated contraptions! Sometimes, they come in the form of simple storage bins. You’d also be smart to shop furniture with built-in storage whenever you can, whether that’s an open-display coffee table or a sofa with a hidden blanket compartment. Storage beds are also pretty genius, and if there’s one retailer who does them right, it’s West Elm. Not only are West Elm’s storage beds functional, but just like all of the brand’s other furniture, they’re also incredibly stylish. Not convinced? Just have a look of our 10 top picks below.
Emmett Tufted Side Storage Bed, Queen Emmett Tufted Side Storage Bed, Queen
On a recent trip to West Elm for our Personal Shopper series, we saw the Emmett bed and promptly fell in love with its tufted headboard and storage side drawers. You get two drawers on each side, to be exact, which should be more than enough space for your sheets, throws, and maybe even some clothes. The platform base also contributes to a clean look overall. You can choose between two headboard heights and 24 upholstery options.
Mid-Century Storage Bed, Queen Mid-Century Storage Bed, Queen
Most of West Elm's storage beds are upholstered in fabric, but there are a couple of fully wooden models in the mix if you prefer that look. Case in point: the mid-century storage bed, whose four side drawers are almost indistinguishable from the rest of the frame. What's more, you'll be happy to find that the drawers have metal slides, meaning they're super easy to pull out and back in.
Andes Side Storage Bed, Queen Andes Side Storage Bed, Queen
The Andes collection is hands-down on of West Elm's most refined furniture lines, regardless of whether you're shopping for a sofa, bed, or accent chair. So, we were excited to find that the collection features this elegant storage bed, which stuns with its velvety upholstery and gold-toned legs. The fact that it can also hold out-of-season blankets is just the cherry on top.
Lana Upholstered Storage Bed, Queen Lana Upholstered Storage Bed, Queen
We also viewed the regular Lana bed during our Personal Shopper visit and were instantly taken with its blush-pink fabric and curved headboard. The only thing that could make it better would be a couple of storage drawers, and luckily, West Elm delivered on that front! This pick is modern without looking too harsh thanks to its rounded lines, and it's also bound to be a massive compliment-getter.
Myla Pop-Up Storage Bed, Queen Myla Pop-Up Storage Bed, Queen
Among the store's selection of storage beds, you'll find a couple of pop-up models in the mix. That includes the Myla bed, which stands out thanks to its swooping headboard design. You can essentially lift up its base and store items under your mattress. As a result, clutter still remains hidden from view, and your bedroom will appear much tidier.
Iron & Acacia Storage Bed, Queen Iron & Acacia Storage Bed, Queen
Another wooden model, this storage frame is quite austere in appearance and would lend itself to a minimalist decor style. It, too, has four side drawers altogether. Despite the bed's monochromatic design, its subtle black legs add a touch of contrast against the light-colored wood. If you're into cool-toned furnishings, this is the bed for you.
Haven Storage Bed, Queen Haven Storage Bed, Queen
Chances are you've seen something that looks like the Haven storage bed in an interior decor influencer's house. Its simple yet contemporary silhouette and platform base are super on-trend at the moment, though we think this model will also prove timeless down the line. In addition to choosing your desired fabric, you can also choose from one of three headboard heights.
Shelter Side Storage Bed, Queen Shelter Side Storage Bed, Queen
Aside from its spacious drawers, the best part of the Shelter bed is its wingback headboard, which makes the entire frame look ultra-cozy. Just imagine leaning up against it with a good book and pulling out a throw from below if the room gets chilly. You can also keep the headboard clean or opt for one of four tufted styles.
Freya Flange Side Storage Bed, Queen Freya Flange Side Storage Bed, Queen
The Freya bed is a West Elm bestseller thanks in no small part to its tall headboard, which boasts flanged edges for a homey look. As is the case with the other bed frames, the side drawers on this one look pretty inconspicuous, so they won't detract from the coastal or pared-back aesthetic you're trying to achieve. Shop the bed in a range of neutral and ocean-inspired fabric colors, or check out a couple of warmer tones.
Lucilla Side Storage Bed, Queen Lucilla Side Storage Bed, Queen
Like the Myla bed, the Lucilla model also stands out because of a unique headboard. We think the half-sphere shape gives the frame a more expensive appearance overall, and it'll also help soften up the entire look of your bedroom if your other furniture is quite modular. You can also customize the bed by selecting a border tufted headboard, which will give it a cushier look.
