Get a Headboard That Doubles for Storage

The origins of headboards stretch as far back as ancient Greece and Egypt! While we have moved on from four poster beds and canopies in private homes, today, the headboard is a design element in and of itself, and one of the best hacks we know for storage and space-saving is to utilize a headboard and the 'dead' space around it. Some headboards today even come with ready-made, hidden or invisible drawers and shelves.

When looking to add storage space in a bedroom around a headboard, think what fits best in the room - whether it is simple open shelves, cabinet doors, or a large unit that surrounds the headboard, sometimes even just a simple shelf as a place to pop books and a plant on can add a huge amount to a simple room.
