Are you tired of having so much chaos in your small bedroom? Are you in need of an effective storage solution and a way to make you sleep better? Divan beds are trending all over the homeware scene for one reason: their stylish compactability that works well in so many bedroom spaces.
In this guide, we’ll dive into exactly why a divan bed is perfect for small bedrooms, why they’re so compatible even with awkward room shapes, with their key benefits, different sizes we offer and tips to optimise their storage even further. So, why don’t we dive straight in?
What Is A Divan Bed?
A divan bed is designed with built-in drawers at the base of the bed. Convenient for everyday use, the drawers easily glide out on the chrome gliders for effortless functionality. Inside, you can store a wide variety of items, such as clothes, bedding and toiletries - perfect to keep things in their designated place for an easy, stress-free daily routine.
You can get creative when designing your Divan Bed - our custom bed service allows you to choose your bed size, drawer numbers, headboard style, fabrics and colours! So, when it comes to smaller bedrooms, you can find the right bed that suits your room layout and style.
Why Divan Beds Are Good For Alternative Room Layouts
Our divan beds make fantastic options for those with alternative room layouts and limited square footage. Have you ever wanted a bed with built-in storage, but you’re restricted to having your bed against a wall?
Don’t worry - our premium divan beds can be customised to have drawers on one side, allowing the other side of your bed to be against your wall. This allows you to make the most out of your storage space, creating an effective storage and sleeping solution at the same time.
This is also great for more irregular room shapes, such as loft conversions and alcoves. They can easily be implemented into older homes such as terraces and cottages, with more uneven wall surfaces and irregular room shapes, just as equally as modern homes with offices and guest bedrooms. Overall, the small divan bed seamlessly fits into much more narrow room layouts - it saves you even more space.
Key Benefits Of Divan Beds
Divan beds with drawers save a lot of space on your floors. If you have already used a lot of the space in your wardrobe and chest of drawers, a divan bed can be an extra way to store your everyday essentials.
Ottoman beds also provide ample storage space underneath their gas-lift system, however some people with limited physical ability may struggle to lift them sometimes. So, the divan bed is easy to use and provides convenient access to its storage with the lightweight drawers. It helps you find the things you need from day to day, without any hassle!
Another benefit of Divan beds is how they are often designed with a solid base, as opposed to a slatted one. This means they’re not only great for those with smaller rooms, but they’re also fantastic for those who would like to feel a more solid support while they’re sleeping. A solid divan bed base is also ideal for cold sleepers and the winter season, thanks to the reduced airflow keeping you warmer.
It goes without saying that Divan beds also make stylish and aesthetic choices to elevate your bedroom space. Even in small bedrooms, Divan Beds can make your room feel cosy and coordinated. At GB bedding, we offer a wide variety of fabrics to choose from, such as Plush Velvet, Buxton, Venice and Shetland, all in a selection of earthy, muted or vibrant colours. So, when it comes to building your divan bed, you can customise it to your heart’s content, making it the dream bed for you!
Different Size Options To Choose From
There are many different options to choose from when it comes to finding the right divan bed for your small bedroom. We have options that include a small single divan bed, all the way up to a super king sized divan bed, but since we’re on the topic of small bedrooms, why don’t we take a look at some of our smaller divan bed options?
The first option is the small single divan bed. This bed measures 2ft6 inches wide (76.2cm), making it our smallest bed option. Available with the option to build it with up to two drawers and being under a metre wide, it’s a great option for those with small bedrooms, apartments, spare bedrooms and children’s bedrooms.
Our second option is the standard single bed which measures 3ft wide (91.44cm). It can also be built with up to 2 drawers, and it’s great for solo adults with limited space, loft conversions, small bedrooms, spare bedrooms and so much more.
If you’re someone who has a small master bedroom, you may benefit from our next option, which is a small double divan bed. This bed measures 4ft wide (approx. 122cm), so it’s our smallest double divan bed option. It can be built with up to 4 drawers (2 on each side) giving you and your partner plenty of space to store all of your belongings in separate drawers. This option is ideal for couples who are looking for a small double bed to fit in their master bedroom, and like the idea of being able to snuggle closer together as they sleep.
Making The Most Out Of Your Drawer Space
Making the most out of your drawer space in your divan bed is a great way to keep on top of your organisation. Typically, the divan bed’s drawers are designed to store everyday items, so it’s a great idea to store a lot of your smaller items that you may use in your daily routine. This may include anything from toiletries, socks, underwear, blankets, books and much more.
Separating these little items in your divan bed’s drawers gives them their own designated space, and you can do this by using some storage containers. So, when you’re waking up on a morning and getting ready for your day, you’re not scrambling for your socks, or if you’re going to sleep, you’re not searching for that night cream. It’s an effective way to help you create a stress-free and easy daily routine, which ultimately also helps with your sleep quality.
Another tip is to declutter your items regularly and let go of things you may not need. If you’re someone who has a small bedroom but owns a lot of things, you’re more than likely to be familiar with the feeling of chaos taking over your room. Getting into the habit of decluttering every now and again is a great way to stay on top of your room’s storage, and it’s important for your divan bed as you can’t overload the drawers with too many items.
