Conceal Clutter with the Cleverly Convenient Storage Ottoman
Many homeowners find themselves in need of convenient storage options in which essential items can be stored and yet still be easily accessible. If square footage is in short supply in your home, or if there just isn’t enough closet space for items such as extra bedding or other necessities, a storage ottoman, or storage ottoman bed is the perfect multipurpose furnishing for you.
The storage ottoman can be found in living rooms, family rooms, bedrooms, dorm rooms and dens. It’s a convenient, multifunctional piece that can be used as a cocktail table, foot rest or extra seating – and at the same time – storage! What furniture could possibly give us more bang for our buck? There are many different sizes and shapes of storage ottomans from which to choose. There are also various materials and designs available. Some feature hinged pull open tops that once lifted, reveal a hollow inside in which items can be kept. Others have tops that can be lifted (and have open space below) and then flipped onto their backs to reveal an edged tray on which to place drinks and snacks. Both styles are quite popular and come in small and large sizes as well as in shapes such as round, square and rectangular.
Another popular new multipurpose piece is the storage ottoman bed. Appearing to be an ordinary platform bed, the storage ottoman bed also features a flip-open hinged top on which the mattress rests. The entire top of the bed lifts open easily to reveal a wide open area below. This space is terrific for storing many different necessities such as extra pillows, bedding, clothing, shoes and even valuables. When the lid is closed the entire area is completely concealed below the mattress.
Storage ottomans range in price from as low as $20 and increase depending on sizes and materials, while ottoman storage beds are much more costly. These beds range in size and are priced anywhere from $350 U.S. but are for the most part, not yet available in the states. Both styles can be purchased online which is where shoppers will find the very best selections and quite often the best price points as well.
