Headboard Storage Concept
This is a storage headboard concept I toyed with for a while before settling on my curtain wall storage solution. It consists of 5 Ikea Akurum tall kitchen cabinets with brown/black doors. The 3 center cabinets are the 12" depth and the 2 "nightstand" cabinets are the 24" depth. The nightstand cabinets would have had 3 drawers on the lower portion and 3 cabinets on the upper portion. The headboard portion would have featured 12 fully functional cabinets above the bed adding an additional 30 cubic feet of storage. When you factor in the additional storage from the "nightstand" cabinets, you end up with additional storage the equivalent of adding an entire extra closet to your home in the same general footprint as just a normal bed and nightstands. The bed frame shown is the queen sized West Elm storage bed with under bed drawers, but any queen sized bed frame could probably work.
To prevent items from falling out and hitting me on the head in earthquake prone Los Angeles, each cabinet door above the bed would need to be fitted with a push touch latch and an earthquake safety latch.
