Built-in Timber Bed and Headboard with Drawer

At WalkInWardrobes.ie, we specialize in designing bespoke furniture that adapts to the unique characteristics of every room. When faced with a challenging space like this under-stair box room, our goal was to maximize storage and comfort while keeping the space feeling light and airy. After consulting with our client about their vision and requirements, we set about creating a detailed plan that would transform the room into a stylish and highly functional bedroom.

Bespoke Timber Bed with Storage Underneath

The bed was the focal point of the design. To create a custom-built timber bed, we designed a structure that not only fit perfectly into the awkward space but also provided extra storage underneath. Instead of a traditional bed frame, we created a built-in design that utilized the full available floor space. Beneath the bed, we incorporated drawers for storage, offering an ideal solution for stashing bedding, clothing, and other items that would otherwise take up valuable closet space.

The drawer storage was designed to be spacious and accessible, ensuring that it was both practical and easy to use. The drawers were created with smooth runners for easy opening and closing, and the deep drawers ensured that the space under the bed was fully utilized.

Timber Headboard with Integrated Shelving and LED Lighting

Above the bed, we created a bespoke headboard that served not only as a stunning design feature but also as a functional element of the room. The headboard was constructed from Finsa Superpan Caledonian Oak, a material chosen for its rich texture and natural warmth. This timber complemented the warm, cozy feel that our client desired for the room.

The headboard itself was equipped with integrated shelving—a space-efficient design that provided the client with an area to store books, small decor items, or other bedroom essentials. The shelving extended across the width of the bed, offering ample storage without overwhelming the room. To enhance the ambiance and create a soothing atmosphere, we installed LED lights into the shelving units. The lights not only illuminated the shelves but also highlighted the natural beauty of the Caledonian Oak timber, adding a soft glow to the room.

The LED lighting also added a modern touch to the design, contributing to the cozy yet contemporary vibe that our client envisioned. The lights were carefully placed to avoid harsh glares, creating a calming environment that was perfect for winding down at night.

Optimizing Storage in a Compact Space

Given the constraints of the under-stair box room, we needed to be strategic about the storage solutions. We aimed to design a space that was functional yet visually spacious. In addition to the drawer storage under the bed, we incorporated the shelving above the headboard to keep the room organized and clutter-free. By utilizing vertical space, we ensured that the room retained its sense of openness, without feeling too cramped.

We also took into consideration the need for easy access to stored items. The drawer storage beneath the bed was designed with soft-close mechanisms for smooth and quiet operation, ensuring that the client could easily store or retrieve items without any hassle. The shelving above the bed was designed with practicality in mind, with adjustable compartments that could be customized to suit different storage needs, from books to personal items.
