Bedroom
By collapsing the table and pulling out the mattress beneath it, the owner has an instant bedroom, complete with bedside table. Brilliantly, she can also use the bed as a sofa by pulling it out only halfway. The slatted board that serves as a support for the dining table, which can seat six, provides a headboard for the bed or a back for the sofa.
Slide It Out We’re all familiar with the trundle, the bed beneath a bed. But what if you don’t have the bed in the first place? Why not take that idea and fit a mattress under something else? The architect working on this space in Paris had the brilliant idea of raising the floor of the kitchen area to create a home for a mattress. Besides concealing the bed, the birch plywood platform delineates the kitchen and contains a roomy storage compartment on the right-hand side.
Rather than having a deep, imposing closet, Brosh split the wall in two with high cabinets and drawers below. There are drawers to the side for folding clothes away, a middle top drawer for accessories, and three drawer fronts below that open together as one large space for laundry. A hanging rod displays everyday clothes, while the cabinets above are for items that aren’t needed as frequently.
Integrated in a cabinet wall. How’s this for a handy design? The bed sits in front of a wall of cabinets, which have plenty of space for bed linen, clothes and more. Smaller cabinets on both sides of the bed are perfect for odds and ends. And a simple yet effective shelf attached to the cabinet doors provides a handy spot for a bedtime book.
Side shelves. The beauty of a custom-made storage headboard is its versatility: You can design it to fit your needs and bedroom layout perfectly. This headboard again creates a useful division between the closets and the bed. Its placement also allows easy access to back and sides, which the designers took advantage of with inset shelves.

This wide headboard not only features shelves, bedside tables and light fixtures, but it also has a padded surface covered in soft fabric. Think about how you like to sit in your bed too. This headboard has an upright design, perfect for those who like to sit up straight while reading. If you prefer to lie back slightly, go for a slope.
Rounded backrest and nightstands. This curved headboard with storage seems to be part of the bed, which adds to its ergonomic feel. It’s packed with useful shelving, with two-tier bedside tables that wrap around the sides of the bed and a couple of handy compartments at the back. The curved top is also home to a pair of practical reading lamps. The beauty of a headboard like this is that it allows you to move the bed away from the wall. This works well when a room has little available wall space or when you want to wake up closer to a beautiful view like this one.
Architect Alan Ohashi designed the built-in headboard with storage behind the bed. Of all the home’s spaces, Lo says they especially enjoy the master. “It is our sanctuary and retreat after putting the kids to bed. We wanted it to feel like a hotel, and it does to us, but now we don’t enjoy staying in hotels as much and prefer being at home.”
Small bedrooms are often a challenge to design, in terms of placing necessary main furniture pieces and still having space for our lamps, books and other accessories. Built-in ledges can be the solution because they don’t take up precious floor real estate. Bed ledge. Here, a bold wall treatment of dark-stained horizontal wood planks is applied around the bed with an extended wooden ledge, acting as a dramatic and creative alternative to a bedside table.
One of our signature custom built-in radiator covers for the PTAC units hides it's heating and cooling components in the bedroom and includes storage on the sides.

Murphy loft bed. Instead of being positioned lower on the wall like a typical Murphy bed, this version folds up high, allowing the lower level to remain usable, even when the bed is down. A ladder (stowed away in a closet between uses) provides access to the bed, while high built-in storage becomes a nightstand.
Creating a fun, personalized home was the motivation behind the project, and quirky details like this row of ties in the living space contribute to the apartment’s one-of-a-kind feel. “They all belong to the owner,” Agathou says. “He just takes them off to wear them, then slides them back on afterward.” The simple rail is made from doweling and hooks. “It’s part storage, part art installation,” says Agathou.
