My solution was a bed, with drawers inside of drawers. This way, I could accommodate 18 nicely sized drawers (12x 40*40*15cm and 6x 60*40*15cm), with access to only one side of the bed. This way, also the space under the other side of the bed is used, without the drawers having to be 140cm deep, which is impractical. Because I know I sometimes just throw something aside, I designed both the "mother" drawers to have 2 shallow open compartiments on top, just for random stuff that does not warrant its own drawer, or stuff that I want to get very easily, like my keys. The advantage of this is that my desk stays clean, and because these drawers also close, the mess cannot be seen either. The bed is constructed from the cheapest solid wood I could find: pine scaffolding boards and underlayment multiplex for the drawers. I also used black steel L-profile on the corners, because this looked really good with the pine. From my leftovers, I designed and constructed a matching desk.
For my room in Eindhoven, I have designed an interior: I live in a small apartment with one housmate, and I have only 8.3 square meters of bedroom. In this space, I wanted a double bed, a desk, and quite a bit of storage, preferably in drawers. This was a challenge. I took inspiration from IKEAs one room appartments: from this I learned that the main thing to avoid, when living in a small space, is storing things in sight and on surfaces. If you do, your room quickly becomes a mess. To solve this, and still keep some room for moving around, I decided I needed a bed which would also accommodate storage. I wanted drawers, but not too big, because I find ordering stuff is easier with small compartments. However, putting small drawers in a double bed whilst having access to only one side of it, leaves a lot of space under other side of the bed unused.
