The concept of modern living in small spaces states that it is always better to use space in an economic manner. If a bed is raised above the floor, much space will be available for keeping necessary things. This will also keep you up at a level where dust particles cannot settle which in turn will help you to breathe smoothly. Such a benefit is provided by the platform beds.

Platform bed consists of a mattress on a solid platform which is raised above the floor by means of legs or framing. They are generally kept in a kid’s room so as accommodate all their clobber. Since they are built in with drawers and storage spaces, these serve to be very useful for cluttering and piling up things. The drawers generally roll on casters and slip under the bed. They are actually wonderful for storing up things permanently as well as privately.

The frames of platform beds come in varieties of designs and styles so that it can complement your taste and requirement. In order to make it functional, you can also make the frame complete with wood posters and curtains

Platform beds were popular since a long time but they were not as popular as they are now. They are basically very versatile and serve as a perfect piece for any contemporary bedroom furniture. Maintenance is not a problem at all. Along with serving a practical purpose, they are also very simple and elegant to look at.

With the variety of design and style available in the market today, probably every homeowner wants to have such a stylish piece of furniture in their home. It is more suitable for those urban elite home owners who do not have much space in their house to accommodate big and designer furniture.

Platform beds can also be equipped with a special memory foam mattress to help those who cannot sleep comfortably at night due to back aches. Memory foam is basically a gel like substance which perfectly fits well with the curvature of any body and thereby offers support to the full skeletal system. It is basically designed to guarantee a good sleep at night.

The price of a platform bed may vary from 200$ -3000$. These different prices are the result of different sizes and styles of the bed. So choose the style which best suits your taste as well as budget.

Bedroom Furniture Beds – Options

Choosing your bed is a very important decision, it could be argued that your bed is an even more important decision than your bedroom suite! After a long hard day rushing around and working hard you can come home and jump into a nice warm comfy bed to have a great nightâ??s sleep in ready to start the next day. When you donâ??t have enough sleep or you have a bad nightâ??s sleep the whole of your next day is affected by it, you are tired and dreary and lifeless, but when you have a good nightâ??s sleep you are awake and energized. A big part of this is how comfy your bed is and how much you like it.

Beds are split into two sections, one being the bed frame or bedstead and secondly the mattress. The bed frame and bedstead is more about what the bed will look like, of course you want to choose a bed frame that you like the looks of and that compliments your bedroom and there are many different styles to choose from. You can choose from a metal bed frame that can be either fancy and quite intricate or straightforward with clean lines and rather plain looking but all of which have a light and airy feeling about them due to the open space but they do give a sense of coldness due to the metal.

Wooden headboards and bed frames can be quite pricey depending on the type of wood being used, such as oak. Wood bed frames and bedsteads can be very traditional in style such as the four poster bed effect or again they can be quite plain looking and very simple. Either way wooden bed frames are quite bulky and boxy due to the wood, but they do give a very cozy feeling that warms the whole room.

The mattress part to a bed is a very important feature when it comes to your comfort. Many people who deal with back aches and pains is due to their mattress. Never skimp on price when it comes to your mattress, if spending an extra £50 means having a mattress that is of good quality and is kind to your back then it is well worth it. Spending £20 on a mattress where the springs are digging into your back and you are practically sleeping on the floor or on the bed frame is a waste of money.

The perfect bed is a combination of your favourite style bed frame or bedstead and a comfy mattress that is ideal for your body and back.

Your bed is a very important part of your bedroom and your life. It is a place that needs to comfortable and warm but also stylish and to your taste. Your bedroom furniture and bed should be inviting and soothing, so at the end of a long day you can curl up in bed and relax.

Choosing furniture for your bedroom can be quite tricky as there are so many options available, but once you have a style to your bedroom you can then choose a bed that fits in with your bedroom interior and with your bedroom furniture perfectly.

Some of the different types of beds for your bedroom

First things first when choosing your bed, look around your bedroom and your bedroom furniture and decide if it is modern and contemporary, extravagant and Victorian, or simple and minimal. From here you can choose a bed that fits in with your fashion taste. You may wish to go for an Oriental design that is very stylish and modern or maybe you like the wooden antique look. It is better to choose a bed that suits your pre-existing bedroom furniture as it may look a little strange having a large mahogany four poster bed in with a bedroom that is mainly white, minimal and silver metal furniture.

Tips to help you choose the right style bed to fit in with your bedroom furniture

The key to choosing the right bed for your bedroom and your bedroom furniture is to gather as many design examples as you can to give you ideas and inspiration, this can include going through Home magazines, picking up bedroom furniture leaflets, and going to your local DIY shop to look through colour and fabric charts. You can also search online and go through websites and pictures by typing in ‘bedroom furniture’ into a search engine. This will return many website results that specialize in bedroom furniture for you to browse through.

Update Your Bedroom With Striking Bed Canopies

With summer and warmer weather approaching fast it is a great time to consider abandoning your thick duvet and throws and replacing them with fewer togs and bright and breezy interior designs which are crisp, clean and very summery!

Bedrooms can be transformed into real show stoppers by re-vamping the way you think about the style and colours you use. Basic ‘rules’ of using white to bounce as much natural light and sunshine around the room remains to be one of the most popular bedroom design styles which creates a wonderful relaxing atmosphere.

Keep things simple to create stunning rooms which are relaxing and invigorating at the same time! Crisp white or cream bedding is ideal for coordinating with any colour scheme and sticking to these pale shades also provides the opportunity to inject a vibrant colour into the room in a chic and stylish way.

If you have a four poster style bed frame you could replace the canopy with light voile fabrics to create a wonderful sensual look and a practical way to keep from being eaten alive by pesky mosquitoes!

One of the latest bedroom style trends is to have an overhead canopy if you don’t have a four poster bed. There are of course the more traditional princess style canopies which have a circular fitting suspended from the ceiling or fixed on the wall above the head end of the head which work well in bedrooms with more traditional designs and are ideal for creating princess themes in little girl’s bedrooms. Opt for pretty pinks to give a ‘Barbie Doll’ type appearance!

Contemporary and modern homes can incorporate the latest variations on a bed canopy by suspending a length of fabric either above the bed from head to foot or across the width the of the bed. These simple fabric canopies are easy to make and fix into place. All you need is four eyelet rings, the type used for hanging traditional net curtain wires. The size of the eyelets and the fixing needs to be substantial enough to hold the weight of the fabric, otherwise the whole thing may fall down on you in the night!

One distinct advantage to these canopies is the ability to choose gorgeous fabric designs which have a striking pattern as the entire pattern will be seen, alternatively this is the ideal opportunity to use a fabric which has an image as the whole picture will be seen and not lost in folds of the fabric as with curtains.

Choose bright colours or opt for simple stripes to give a nautical feel to the room. For a sensual touch try using beautiful silk or faux silk in orange, electric blues or emerald green to create wonderful Bedouin styles. Japanese themes are also a calming style trends which include the uses of cherry blossom pinks and white.

Fabulous varieties of wonderful fabric designs can be easily obtained from high street or online curtain fabric suppliers and are a cost effective way to create stunning bed canopies to suit your interior design theme.

Choosing designer furniture and beds for the bedroom

Of all the rooms in the house, the bedroom is perhaps the most personal. Although it’s rarely seen by anyone other than its owner (unless it’s a guest bedroom), a bedroom can be a perfect place to give full expression to personality and design flair.  

Choosing a bed, and accompanying furniture is incredible important; we spend up to a third of our lives in our bedrooms. Obviously, we’re unaware of our surroundings for much of that time, being asleep, but the times spent before and after sleep are incredibly formative, both of the quality of sleep we’re to have, and of the day to come. The recipe for a fantastic day begins with the bedroom, where use of designer furniture, careful decoration and soft furnishing choices makes the room a haven for calm. Being the largest piece of furniture you’ll own, a bed is of course, your most important design choice.   

So it’s often worth splashing out & buying the best bed you can afford, with designer furniture to match. Designer furniture will always look good, not dictated by fashion, but always up to the minute. Generally, the better designer beds by Italian furniture makers like Bonaldo and Jesse really stand the test of time, not just in quality, but also in style. So called ‘trendy’ furniture tends to look very dated a few years on, but upmarket Italian furniture will always look great.    

But first the practical considerations. Most couples prefer as large a bed as space allows – king sized if possible – in order that both can comfortably stretch out and luxuriate. However, king size or super king beds can easily over-dominate a small space, so it may be better to buy a double bed instead. At just 135cms wide double beds are still big enough to fit two, but compact enough to work well in smaller rooms. Choice of bed size is very important. Claustrophobia is not a good ‘feel’ for a bedroom. A bed must be at least six inches longer than its tallest occupant, so in a small room, width may have to be sacrificed for length.   

Consider the overall space that you have at your disposal. A four-poster bed may seem wonderful on the pages in the catalogue or in the showroom, but would it really suit your room? Are your ceilings high enough? Is the room spacious with plenty of empty floor space? If not it is best to avoid these beds, as what will suit a beautiful Tuscan villa won’t look so good in a small modern bedroom.   

Contemporary beds are always a safe bet, as styles can be chosen that are as unobtrusive as possible, unless of course you want to make the bed the absolute focal point of a room. Most contemporary beds are quite low – adding a sense of space & light to smaller rooms. Larger rooms are best suited to king sized beds, where single beds or smaller double beds would be swallowed up by the space.   

The space around your bed and other bedroom furniture is also important. Think about how you and your partner might move around the bedroom. Will progress be impeded too much? Is there enough space to dress? Are there sharp corners that will be painful if bumped into? A well-built, bespoke wardrobe may be your storage answer, or perhaps separate pieces of lovingly-chosen designer furniture. Tallboys will give plenty of storage room without taking up too much precious storage space & can be a practical way to keep the usual small bedroom objects, eg hairbrushes out of sight but within easy reach.  A bedroom is a room very much lived-in, and there should be allowances made for the everyday and essential ‘clutter’ of a bedroom: glasses of drinking water, spectacles, books and magazines.   

When choosing each piece of designer furniture or accessory for your bedroom, try and get each piece to complement the next, thus helping to create a unified whole. It is perfectly acceptable to mix styles, urban and rustic, old and contemporary. It’s increasingly common to see contemporary design in older settings such as barn conversions, and of course there are always elements of technology we wouldn’t want to do without even in a period design. Halogen lighting, hidden sound systems and even televisions (artfully tucked away) may make their mark even in a Shaker-styled bedroom! Just remember that the bedroom’s design should reflect you and your tastes.

Bedroom Furniture Decorating Tips – the Canopy Bed

If you’re bored with the current look in your bedroom, a stylish option is available that dates back to the 15th century. This look will add an air of nobility to even the drabbest of rooms while acting as the focal point and centerpiece of your bedroom furniture. This cure for your ailing bedroom décor is the classic canopy bed.

For the uninitiated, a canopy bed is a decorative bed somewhat similar to a four-poster bed. A typical canopy bed usually features posts at each of the four corners extending four feet high or more above the mattress. Ornate or decorative fabric is often draped across the upper space between the posts and a solid swath of cloth may create a ceiling, or canopy directly over the bed. There are a wide array of canopy beds, ranging from the more formal traditional styles to today’s sleek, modern designs, made with clean lines and a simpler aesthetic. If you’re interested in a canopy bed, chances are good there is one out there that is perfect for you.

One might think that early canopy beds were only made for the wealthy. The fact is canopy beds have their roots with the common man. The canopy bed came into existence more from utilitarian means than that of extravagance or decadence. In fact, the earliest incarnations were probably beds of common people seeking an additional layer of shelter beyond that of a less-than-impenetrable thatch roof. Canopy beds with curtains that could completely enclose the bed were used by lords and noblemen in medieval Europe for warmth and privacy, as their attendants often slept in the same room. Until the 16th century, these beds, even those of the nobles, were fairly plain and understated. During this period, carved work on the headboard and posts became popular and more ornate canopy beds followed.

Today’s canopy beds generally fit into one of two categories: traditional or contemporary. Most of the traditional canopy beds will have a Victorian aesthetic, with either metal rod frames or intricately carved wood frames and posts. These throwbacks will also often feature ruffled, pleated elaborate draping, sometimes with rather heavy cloth. In contrast, contemporary canopy beds generally employ a cleaner, simpler design. Wood, metal, or a combination of the two is used in the construction of modern canopy beds, which usually have little to no detail on the foot and headboards and often feature sharp, geometric designs.

Bedroom Decoration And Bedroom Furnishing Tips And Tricks. Your Bed

I have been writing on decorating a bedroom and choosing great bedroom furniture, to achieve the bedroom that you’ve always wanted. Today I want to look at one specific item of bedroom furniture, your bed. Because the bed you choose has a big bearing on the success of your bedroom decoration efforts.


And the effect that your choice of bed has isn’t just restricted to the way the bedroom looks and feels, but also how well you sleep, and that’s as important as just about anything else about your bedroom.


Basically your bed, and the bedding that you choose to use on it, sets the scene, or theme, of your bedroom. You might find that if you want a colorful contemporary feel to your bedroom but you also want that antique four poster bed that the two won’t necessarily work together.


You need to spend some time thinking about the overall theme of your bedroom, and the bed you choose may well strongly influence that. Some beds are invisible and it doesn’t matter, the duvet cover for example, and the valance together cover the entire bed and you can’t see the bed at all, just the bedding. But some beds have a very specific look and if you want one of those, like for example the antique four poster bed, you need to make sure that the theme you select for your overall bedroom look fits in with the theme set by the bed.


Remember that there are many different types of beds too, and do some homework before you choose. Many of the different types of bed are actually a different type of mattress. An air bed for example is in fact an air mattress, or simply a mattress filled with air instead of springs or some other type of material. The amount of air, or the softness of the mattress can be controlled by the user to produce a mattress that is adjusted perfectly for their requirements.


Similarly a water bed is a bed with a mattress filled with water. The author can testify to how good a good water bed can be, he used a water bed for some years and it produced probably the most comfortable sleep possible.


Or you could just go for a platform bed. This is pretty much as it’s described. A platform on which is placed the mattress of your choice. So all you need to do is to decide on the mattress, and you’ve got yourself a bed. A platform bed is often used in conjunction with a futon mattress.


So when it comes to selecting the bed for the bedroom remember you have to make a number of choices. You need to select the look and style of the bed you want as well as the type of bed from a comfort point of view. And if you’re going for a regular mattress, instead of, say an air or water bed type of mattress, you then need to research some of the different considerations for buying a mattress.


So there’s a lot to think of when it comes to buying a bed. But remember, the bed you choose is a critical part of the bedroom decoration process, and one of the first things you should decide on. Everything else flows from your choice of bed.

A crown made a dramatic statement in a room of glass. Panels of fabric from a long drop below top surrounded by an expanse of color and style that is unforgettable.

A canopy bed may sound exotic and out of reach. But in reality, a canopy bed can be done with a simple fabric or construction spoils to develop a treatment drapery. This article on a bed canopy gives you many ideas and pictures of styles simple and not so simple four-poster beds, which help to add to your romantic bedroom.

The best way to create a simple canopy for the bed is to hang a piece of fabric on the top frame rails of a structured canopy bed. But if your bed has a canopy structure, there are other ways to achieve the look of a canopy and to surround the bed in softness and color. You can get a very attractive four-poster bed in installing curtain rods from the ceiling, a place at either end of the bed.

Using a tab-Up, Tie-up, a pinch pleated panels or collected, attach the fabric of each auction tent cloth and let it gently on the floor. You can also attach a short stalk to the ceiling, perpendicular to the head of each side. Hang signs on the ground and ends with a cloth kiss.

There is nothing that can make a room feel like a romantic four-poster bed Can. Our map shows many styles of window curtains and bed that can transform a ho-hum room into something truly spectacular.

A crown of dramatic canopy, also called a crown, a sleek look in a bedroom. Connect panels of fabric around the outer edge of a semi-circle 3 / 4 “plywood rec. This half-circle can be connected directly to the ceiling or hung on the ceiling with L-hooks on the wall.

You can add a romantic look at a plain Jane to bed draped panels of fabric through a long wooden or metal ring attached to the ceiling above the center of the head.

Recall the panel of fabric through the ring, pulling down on both sides of the bed. Spreading the scoreboard to see more of the fabric and structure of the bed or drape the panels around the beds at the head of the bed.

Another simple treatment is to install a ring on the ceiling on both sides of the head of the bed and draw the long panel of fabric through both rings. Swag the area between the two rings from the ceiling to form a green top under the bed.

The panels should extend to land on both sides of the bed. If you install 4 rings, one in each corner of the bed, trying to develop a long panel of fabric for each. Make a panel at each end ring goes to the end of the floor. Luxury four panels of fabric draped on the sides of the bed, the look is very elegant.

You could really use any type of fabric that you want to create a canopy bed. Domes are Persians traditional fabrics, silk, velvet or tapestry. But you can get something fun for a rustic setting with muslin or gingham or calico fascinating. You can also use the sheets to coordinate with the bed for the construction of panels for a long look.

For ease of use and simplicity of style, bed curtains are usually cut to touch the ground when stopped. If you prefer a luxurious look, cut the panels 4 “longer and” Sea “, the fabric on the floor beside the bed. Sure to lift the panel when you need to empty.

For a truly professional look, body more, and wear add to the upholstery fabric panel or use a printed or coordinating solid back panel. After all, inside and outside the panel is shown when the loot. Add borders, fringes, ribbons finishing and ropes. Coordinate outputs with tiebacks, adding color, texture and body. I remember that a kiss will pull the fabric on the ground, then cut the panels slightly longer.
