10 Clever Platform Beds For Kids (With Storage)

------- NEW PODCAST -------

Maria started a new podcast about simple living, faith, decluttering, etc.

Our little ones do often accumulate a ton of things–whether for school or play. As a result, their spaces can become quite messy if not properly taken care of.

Another thing we have to consider is to keep their things close by, so they can easily reach for what they need.

A great solution for keeping both our children and their places happy is to implement sufficient storage. With that, discover 10 clever platform beds for your kids to maintain a tidy and productive bedroom.

Compact Alcove Bed

A fun and imaginative room for kids with engaging books and toys displays an equally intriguing bed design. A kid-friendly alcove bed is a great way to keep everything in one compact area.

Alcove beds cleverly use space further into the walls to create a nook-like place. Here, the surrounding walls serve as bookshelves and the bed even has drawers on its lower frame for more storage. 

The fun wallpaper, the range of books, and the animal figures will surely keep your kids engaged and entertained in their bedrooms.

This adorable room which is perfect for growing tweens, keeps a slightly higher bed, whose height makes way for additional storage with spacious storage shelves.

You can store bedsheets, extra pillows, and linens in here. Because there is a top layer, you can even have one of the units double as a chair for the vanity area when needed. 

There’s even a fun little cutout feature that can keep cats or your small pets occupied if they sleep with your child.

A lovely kid’s bedroom with a soft, muted, and nature-themed palette is full of innovative designs. First, the classic alcove bed but with multiple twists: a higher elevation, tons of storage, and a little playroom.

Give your kids a private space where they can let their imagination run wild! 

I find that with a design like this, it’s best to make sure you get a sturdy ladder or stepping stool for your child to safely go up and down the bed.

Here, we have a fresh and organic Japandi scene with a space-optimized wooden bed surrounded by bookshelves.

It’s perfect for bookworms and kids who love to study! Keeping books and learning materials in the bedroom really encourages their thirst for knowledge. 

I love the arch framing of the bed, it’s a stylish and functional way to implement more storage.

Toddler Bed With Mini Bedroom Bench

If your child is between 1-3 years old, it’s best to maintain an uncomplicated bedroom. The small bench with shelves, plus the bedside drawer is more than enough storage for a growing toddler. 

I love the lion theme and how it adds a nice pop of color to the gray and white room.

Kid’s Loft With Bottom Bedframe And Stair Storage

A wonderfully cute pastel bedroom utilizes a modern loft-style bed design with spacious compartments underneath and stairs with space-efficient storage.

The layout gives your child different areas in their bedroom for various purposes. They can make the loft a playpen or even a study room. 

This space could also easily fit two kids by putting another bed in the loft. Either way, the bedroom becomes a fun and interactive place with this design.

Small Bed With Pullout Storage

A classic boy’s room maintains its tidiness with pullout storage that is the length of the bed. Not only that, it features divided units for better organization.

You can choose a bed with this design or customize the one you already have if there’s enough space on the bottom. 

I love how the divisions let you and your kids keep their toys and other items arranged. You can recreate this yourself by getting dividers and organizers that are better suited to your needs.

Tiny Bed With Built-In Shelves In Platform

On the other hand, this girl’s bedroom uses its platform for storage differently. Instead of having the units pull out, the design uses built-in shelves that keep items openly on display.

With this layout, your child will have an easier time reaching for their things. It’s also a good way to have a visual of where their items are. 

To prevent their books or toys from being scattered, I suggest you get aesthetically pleasing containers like woven or acrylic ones for optimal organization.

Kid’s Teepee Bed With Floor Drawers

A child’s bedroom doesn’t have to be limited to standard designs. You can go to town with a fun and creative bed piece like this teepee-styled sleeping area with large bottom drawers.

The bed becomes the main focus or accent piece of the room since the spacious storage keeps the clutter away!

Make the most of the frame and hang up your child’s favorite decorations or even fairy lights to make the ambiance more charming.

Compact Daybed With Drawers

This cozy and dainty space is a refreshing take on the usual kid’s bed. It’s a more mature but elegant daybed where your children can read, lounge, and take naps in.

The structure even has three large storage units installed in its platform. You can keep their books and toys in here to have them nearby when your kids choose to stay here. 

I suggest adding a few bookshelves on the wall to make the space a reading nook and have their favorite books on display.
