""I realized the only way to maximize the vertical storage space would be to build cabinets on either side of the bed, utilizing about 21 inches of space on each side," Maggie explains. "I saw so many beautiful built-in bed nooks on Pinterest and, while we couldn't build something custom and permanent in our rental apartment, the PAX system is so modular that building up and around the bed frame made sense to create a cozy, built-in feel.""
""In the past few years, the words "cozy" and "nook" have been seemingly synonymous with trending interior design. Some people have turned to Hygge experts for tips or advocated for nooks of all kinds - including throwback phone nooks. One space that can seriously capitalize on that snug feeling is the bedroom. Creating an alcove (aka a bed nook) is such a simple way to make your space feel tucked away and cozy.""
Maggie Beckett reconfigured her 320-square-foot bedroom when a partner moved in, needing to accommodate two people without losing storage. She built vertical storage by installing cabinets on both sides of the bed, each using about 21 inches, to maximize space. She used the modular IKEA PAX system to create the appearance of a built-in alcove without permanent construction in her rental. She installed a curtain over a wood plank and solved snagging by attaching industrial fabric tape to the café curtain. The resulting bed nook adds depth, storage, and a cozy, tucked-away feeling while keeping the layout open.
