Diy Bed Frame With Storage

DIY bed frame with storage is a great way to add extra storage space to your bedroom without sacrificing style. There are many different ways to build a DIY bed frame with storage, but the most common method is to use bookcases or drawers as the base of the bed.

To build a DIY bed frame with storage using bookcases, simply place three bookcases on their sides in a U shape. The dimensions between the bookcases will be the width of the bed platform. Cut two headboard pieces to length using 1x4s and attach them to the headboard end of the assembly with wood glue and pocket screws. The bottom of the headboard should be flush with the bottom of the bookcases, and the top should be attached 1-1/2 inches down from the top.

To build a DIY bed frame with storage using drawers, simply build a frame out of 2x4s and attach drawers to the frame using drawer slides. You can then place the bed frame on top of the drawers.

Once you have built the basic frame of your DIY bed with storage, you can add additional features, such as a headboard, footboard, or side rails. You can also finish the bed frame with paint or stain to match your décor.
