If you need to maximise your storage in your bedroom, then you can't ignore that huge void under the bed . Yes, your room might look bigger if you could see beneath the bed (see why here), but if it's a choice between the two go for tidy over space enhancement every time.
If you need to use the space under the bed for clothes or linen, opt for a bed with tough and roomy pullout drawers. Strength is key here, you don't want the bottom falling out of the drawer once it's filled with shoes or handbags. Oh and never put clothes away under the bed slightly damp, with little air under there they will start to grow mouldy.

Remember also to check that you have space around your bed to actually pull out the drawers so that you can access their contents. If this could be a problem look at a bed with open shelving beneath it. This Hypnos Hideaway divan bed has a sleek integrated valence that pull up to reveal deep shelves. They may even hold your suitcases.
Whilst, if you need to store tonnes of stuff that you don't need to access everyday, such as winter duvets, suitcases, a tent, spare folding chairs for when guests come etc., an ottoman storage bed could be for you. Here the whole mattress lifts up to reveal the deep cavity within. A bit of a pain if you need regular access to the stuff inside, however.
