This makes the space beneath their bed an actual feature of their bedroom and could be a great way to encourage children to keep their room clean, tidy and organised.
If your child is a lover of make believe, then they will love the idea of a den under their bed for them to hide and play in. There are designs that allow them to hang curtains or fairy lights on their den to create a truly magical space. Alternatively, some have a more neutral style which will allow your child to use the space for studying or just relaxing with cushions and the addition of a lamp.
