Vertical and functional space planning are two of the
most overlooked areas in most households interior design layout. In
this article we'll discuss how to double the functional space in the
bedrooms of your house.

Think Vertical

Effective space planning and interior design requires
that you plan in three dimensions - so start thinking about the space
above your head and higher up on the walls. There are great functional
bedding and storage solutions you can use to easily double your floor
space in a bedroom and its functional storage space.

Futons for the guest rooms

Why waste the functionality and floor space of a
designated guest room when it can normally operate as your den or
library? When guests are expected, simply fold down the futon and make
it into your guest bedroom.

Loft beds for older children

Loft beds are excellent functional solutions for older
children that also want to use their bedroom as a social hangout or
study room. A loft bed allows you to place a sofa or study desk
underneath the bed. This also creates a great atmosphere under the bed
that is private and quiet.

Bunk beds for the youngsters

When there is more than one child in a bedroom bunk beds
are a logical solution for using more of the vertical space available
in a room, and also creates more space on the floor for playtime.

Murphy beds for studios and 1 bedroom apartments

Murphy beds are a great bed design to incorporate when
space is on limited supply. Installing a Murphy bed will instantly open
up the room floor space. In small apartments, installing a Murphy bed
can have the effect of feeling like you've just added another entire
room! Murphy beds are also a great option for adding to dens or studies
to create a guest room.

High platform beds for more storage

Platform beds are becoming very common now as bed
designers switch from using bulky box springs to sleeker and more
durable platform supports for bed designs. The old space of a box
spring easily creates another vertical foot of potential storage space
under your bed. For a regular king size bed, this will create an
additional 42 square feet of storage space under the bed.

Air beds for emergency guest rooms

If your spare rooms in the house are dedicated to other
functions that you really don't want to give up, then consider getting
an airbed to use when having house guests stay over. Air beds are
portable, inflate quickly, and have good support and functionality. You
can also get air beds that quick inflate themselves from a small duffel
bag.

Trundle beds

Trundle beds are great to have in kids rooms to pull out
for sleepovers and can operate as a second temporary bed if the need
arises. When not in use it simply slides back under the bed. If you
have a trundle bed then you can free up more space in your storage room
by getting rid of any fold out cots or beds.

Day beds

Day beds are a functional bedding alternative that also
creates a sitting area during the day. Great for apartments, girls
rooms, or dens and guest rooms.

Captain's beds

To maximize storage space in your child's room consider a
captain bed. With so many drawers under the higher bed frame you can do
away with separate dresser drawers to free up more floor space.

If you start to think vertical in you interior space

space in your home. For more bed resources and design tips you can
