We believe the bedroom should be a sanctuary (see 10 Secrets for a Better Night\u2019s Sleep). Thankfully, architects have long known that creating calm\u2014read: killing clutter\u2014in your sleep space is simple and efficient with built-in storage. Here are 15 favorite examples of architectural built-ins in the bedroom, from shelves to cabinets to drawers:<\/p>\n
