The Advantages of Platform Storage Beds -
by Elizabeth Morgan
Platform storage beds are
platform beds with storage devices underneath them.
Platform storage beds are a step in the more economical
direction. While the precepts of feng shui recommend against
objects being placed under the bed (because they disrupt energy
flow, thus making for fitful sleep), the precepts of modern living in tight spaces
requires space to be used economically.
Think about it: if your bed is raised up off the floor, there
is a lot of empty space left over. Now, the reason you are off
the floor in the first place is mainly to keep you separated
from critters; to keep you at a level where dust settles less
frequently, thus allowing you to breather more smoothly; and to
put you at a warmer point in the room (heat rises.) But if
there are inanimate objects under the bed, do you think those
objects will require those conditions? Of course not. Why not
utilize the space?
Platform Beds with Drawers
Platform beds with drawers come in a few basic formats. Some
platform beds with drawers have framework that allows the
drawers to be attached to the bed system, even if you move the
bed. These act like conventional drawers – more like a
dress-and-bed combo. These are wonderful for storing things
more permanently and privately.
The other option is to have drawers that roll on casters and
slip under the bed where they are out of the way. These drawers
can be moved all the way across the room, if need be.
With prices ranges of $200 to $3000 or more, you can buy a
platform storage bed to suit your needs and décor.
