Flair Tiggy Ottoman Bed with Winged Headboard Review – A Stylish Storage Solution for Small Spaces

If you’ve ever moved into a new house and thought, “Where am I supposed to put all this stuff?” you’re not alone. That was exactly me just a few months ago. We’ve recently moved into our new home, and as lovely as it is, the guest room is tiny. Charming, yes. But spacious? Not so much. We bought an old steading and it's perfect in so many ways, just not in the storage department. There is one cupboard in the whole house for the boiler. I know, help me now. 

With no built-in storage and barely enough room to swing a cat (or in my case, a Dalmatian), I was on the hunt for a smart, stylish solution. Moving house is always exciting, but let’s be real, it’s also chaotic and stressful too. You never quite realise how much stuff you have until you’re trying to unpack it all without a proper place for anything to go. That’s what made finding the right furniture so important for us. Every piece had to be practical, space-saving, and still feel like *us*. I didn’t want the guest room to look like a storage cupboard, but I needed it to function like one behind the scenes. That’s when I found the Flair Tiggy Ottoman Bed with Winged Headboard in Beige Velvet from Bed Kingdom and let me tell you, it’s completely transformed the space. It is so stunning too.

A Bed That’s Both Beautiful and Practical

Let’s start with the look. I mean… hello, luxury! It looks so expensive. The beige velvet finish adds such a soft, elegant touch to the room. The winged headboard gives it that boutique hotel feel, and honestly, it makes the whole room look a little more polished. Obsessed. 

But it’s not just about looks; this bed is all about hidden functionality. Underneath that plush mattress is a full ottoman storage system, and let me tell you it’s a game changer. There is so much more storage space than our old bed.

Why We Needed Storage – Fast

When we moved in, we realised very quickly that our guest room had zero storage. No wardrobes, no drawers, and I didn’t want to clutter the room with bulky furniture. The Flair Tiggy bed gave us a way to store all our spare bedding, extra duvets, out-of-season clothes and even a few of Mylo’s dog things, all without taking up an inch of extra floor space.

One thing I really love is how deep the storage space is underneath. So much more than my old bed. It’s not just a token drawer or half-hearted lift-up feature. The entire base lifts up to reveal a full-sized space that runs the length and width of the bed. You can easily store large boxes, spare pillows, out-of-season clothes, suitcases and those things that usually clutter up the top of wardrobes. I even stashed a few winter coats and my spare beauty product storage baskets down there—out of sight but easy to grab when needed.

It’s ideal for small rooms, box rooms, or anyone trying to make the most of limited space. I now need one for my own bedroom. I might order another one.

Is It Easy to Assemble?

I’ll be honest, I was expecting a bit of a flat-pack nightmare, but this bed was surprisingly easy to put together. The instructions were clear, and everything was well-labelled. It definitely helps if you have two people, especially when it comes to lifting the mattress frame onto the lift system. 

Pro tip: lay out all the parts before you start and follow the step-by-step order in the manual. Don’t skip ahead! It might seem obvious, but that made the whole thing smoother for us. The hydraulic gas lift was much easier to install than I expected, and everything felt really solid and well-made—none of that flimsy MDF feeling you sometimes get with cheaper beds.

We had it fully assembled in under two hours, and once it's up, it feels really sturdy and secure.

The Ottoman Storage Mechanism – So Smooth!

The easy-lift ottoman feature is super smooth and easy to use. You just lift the bed from the base and voilà, tons of storage space underneath. Even with a mattress on top, it doesn’t feel heavy to lift, and it stays open while you’re rummaging around (which I do more often than I should!).

Perfect for Our Guest Room (and Guests Love It Too)

To make the most of the look, I have ordered some soft cream bedding with gold accents, a boucle throw, and a couple of scatter cushions in a slightly deeper beige to give it some texture. Because the headboard is a real focal point, I’ve kept the wall behind it clean with just one piece of wall art and a floating shelf. It keeps the small space feeling open while letting the bed really shine. I also added a warm LED floor lamp in the corner, which bounces beautifully off the velvet. But for right now it has the old Dalmatian-themed covers one. 

Our guest room might be small, but now it feels cosy and intentional rather than cluttered. The neutral beige velvet goes with just about any decor, and guests have commented on how comfy it is too. It’s not just stylish, it’s genuinely comfortable for sleeping as well. We recently had our first overnight guest stay since finishing the room, and she actually asked where the bed was from because it was so comfy! She had no idea it was an ottoman storage bed until I showed her, which speaks volumes for how stylish and seamless the design is. It doesn’t scream “functional” it just looks chic and inviting.

Would I Recommend It? 100% Yes.

If you’re moving house or updating a smaller bedroom and need a practical but beautiful bed, I genuinely can’t recommend the Flair Tiggy Ottoman Bed enough. It’s functional, stylish, easy to build, and has given us storage space we desperately needed, without compromising on looks. 

Plus I need to mention it arrived so quickly. I haven't got used to being in the south of Scotland yet; this bed arrived within a few days. I know I am blown away. I mean, it's a big item and was here so quickly. Well done, Bed Kingdom, that's amazing. No waiting weeks for your bed, just order and have it up and ready in a few days. But of course, this will depend on which bed you order and the delivery times, etc. 

Plus, it gives off serious luxe hotel vibes… and who doesn’t want that? Whether you're moving into a first flat, downsizing, or just want to declutter a busy family home, a bed like this gives you a head start on staying organised, without sacrificing style. It's one of those buys that just makes daily life easier. I am actually jealous of my spare room. Our room defo needs an update to have such luxe vibes now too. 

Where to Buy

You can grab it directly from Bed Kingdom here. They offer free delivery across the UK and have other fabric and colour options too if beige isn’t your thing. 

Final Thoughts

If you’re navigating a new home (or just a small room that needs to work smarter), the Flair Tiggy Ottoman Bed honestly ticks all the boxes. It’s stylish, practical, and has made such a difference to our guest room both in how it looks and how it functions. I love it when something looks gorgeous and actually makes life easier. This bed does exactly that.
