Why Storage Beds for a Kids Bedroom Are a Great Idea?
- EFFECTIVE USE OF SPACE | Tallboys, chest of drawers or bedside tables can be a great storage addition, but we don’t all have the space to accommodate them. Rather than investing in bulky kid’s bedroom furniture, consider a kid’s storage bed.
- DECLUTTER | Your kid’s bedroom is all about them. But it becomes about you when you’re cleaning up their mess. That’s life! Make it easier for yourself and your kids too. A kids storage bed provides organisation and helps declutter your space.
- Out of sight out of mind. Everybody has their own way of arranging their belongings. Try and keep the storage tidy and organised, the last thing you want is to hoard things that don’t serve you. Netflix series Tidying Up with Marie Kondo, will help you become an expert after just one episode.
- AMBIENCE | Decluttering doesn’t just help minimise your workload at home, but leads to happiness and calmness. Why stress about the struggles of maintaining a tidy home? You’ll encounter a more pleasant flow and feeling in the room.
- SPEND LESS | Storage beds will in some cases replace your tallboy or chest of drawers, which leaves you with some extra cash in the bank!

Children’s Bedroom Storage Ideas
Organising your drawers is a small detail that goes a long way. How you organise your things depends on what you’re tucking away.
Rio Toddler Single Storage Bed
We love a Netflix binge and learnt that Marie Kondo recommends the following:
CLOTHES | fold each item stored in a drawer!

TOYS/MISCELLANEOUS | use smaller boxes/organisers.
If you can see each stored item, you are less likely to buy something you already own.

Types of kids beds with storage:
| Headboard Storage Bed |
Practical for smaller belongings. Can replace bedside tables for items like books etc. Exposed storage is more likely to be organised due to its visibility. |
| Storage Bed with Under Bed Drawers |
Easy access, especially for younger kids to use. Easy to clean underneath, given the drawers are not attached to the bed (like our Coco and Myer) |
| Lift Up Storage Bed |
Ideal for minimal space if you don’t have space for underbed drawers. Keeps dust away. Suitable for teens, as kids may struggle with the gas lift. |
