DIY Platform Beds

Platform beds have been around a long time. I don’t think they really go out of date. If you’re after something different and you’re a little bit handy, then why not make a platform bed yourself? Bed frames can be so expensive but these DIY platform beds could be the solution for you.

Some of these below ooze minimal and sleek lines. I love the first two beds.

Of course the pallet beds are easy to make. The one above is understated and works well in the space.

Here are some links to DIY projects which will walk you through making your own. You can vary them according to timber colour, width and whether you’d like to add a bedhead.
