<h2><strong>2. A  Bed of Drawers</strong></h2>
<p>This is one of the oldest hacks in the book but works efficiently even today. A couple of drawers can be carved out in the bottom of the bed, creating a lot of space to store the extras. The best part about this hack is that the bed will conceal all the storage space and at the same time provide easy access to the things stored.</p>
<p><strong>Tip </strong>– while going in for this hack, make sure to use good quality material and fittings. The base of the drawers should be of appropriate thickness to handle a load of your things so that it doesn’t warp over the years of use.</p>

The profile of the cabinet will help in utilizing every inch of the space. You can certainly be creative with the stepped profile with respect to the context of your bedroom setting.</p>
