A place to relax, a place to unwind, and a place for your family, friends and you; we all spend an inordinate amount of time in our home. However, keeping the whole house neat and tidy can seem like a daunting task especially with the rest of your life keeping you busy.

So, when the time comes to buckle down and organize or upgrade your living room, dining room and bedroom, consider utilizing multifunctional storage furniture designed to hide away all your clutter with high-grade efficiency.

With tons of options available from the ever-efficient storage bed to the multi-tasking storage ottoman, there are endless possibilities available to increase the living space in your home.

Types of Multifunctional Storage Furniture

There are numerous different types of storage furniture from which to choose, allowing you to easily deck out your entire home with space-saving hidden storage units. From beds to ottomans, and couches to loveseats and chairs, there’s no shortage of unique and beautiful options available to achieve a personalized living space.

Storage Beds - One of the most popular options, storage beds are widely available in a myriad of different styles, making finding one that suits your taste in design and fits your storage needs easy. Built for both adults and children, these beds feature specialized frames designed with drawers that open to reveal spacious storage containers, ideal for storing clothes, spare comforters and blankets, and even Christmas presents. Depending on your room arrangement and storage needs, you can choose a storage bed that features drawers on the end, one side, and/or both sides.

Storage Couch and Loveseat - From the bedroom to the living room, couches and loveseats can feature efficient storage compartments in the way of simple, yet inventive systems that add a centralized console to the living room couch or loveseat, providing an exceptionally convenient storage spot that’s always within reach to store cords, game controllers and remote controls. Some storage consoles have drink holders for a favorite beverage and a spot for snacks as well. There’s no need to leave the sofa with this convenient storage feature, and your room will benefit from the added organization.

Storage Bench and Ottoman – On the smaller side of available options in the way of storage furniture, a storage ottoman or bench is typically used in the living room or bedroom. However, many rooms can benefit from the additional storage, including entryways and foyers, mud rooms and even hallways. Many individuals with a need for extra storage in their home find storage ottomans useful as the small stature, availability and lightweight frame make ottomans and benches a convenient choice that easily slides into any living space. Plus, they can serve as extra seating when company comes, or even work in place of a traditional coffee table.

Storage Mirror - Seldom thought-of, this piece of storage furniture still provides a modest amount of hidden storage space to utilize for jewelry, make-up or other knick-knacks. With the main draw being that unlike other options, a storage mirror hangs on the wall and takes up virtually zero space in your living environment.

Storage Table - Sometimes the best option is the simplest one. If you are short on cabinets, counter space, or room in hutches and consoles, a storage table can add a few much needed drawers for utensils, napkins and more. Again, without taking up any additional floor space (or counter or cabinet space).

Coffee tables tend to feature the widest variety of storage options available on the market, with some options utilizing drawers that blend into the design of the table, others utilizing a less noticeable shelving build that’s great for adding baskets and bins. For hidden storage options, a lift-top coffee table provides comparable storage space to other options, but with the added bonus of hiding in plain sight.

Every piece of storage furniture, from beds to benches and sofas to loveseats, is available in tons of different styles and designs including traditional, rustic, modern and casual, making them an excellent option for matching any living environment, or mixing things up if one has the mind.

For larger pieces like beds and sofas that tend to draw the eye and take up the most space in a room, it’s best to focus the interior design around these pieces of furniture. They can make beautiful focal points, without drawing an eye to your new found storage.

On the other hand, a coffee table, ottoman or bench may easily be incorporated into existing design elements. Some individuals may find these options more ideal if they are looking to gain a little extra storage space without a complete interior redesign.

Storage furniture pieces are an excellent option for individuals looking to keep their whole home neat, tidy and clear of clutter, without unnecessarily taking up space with extra storage chests and boxes.
