Contemporary Chocolate Platform Bed

The world really does seem to be in a big hurry. Everything moves faster- transportation, communication, even checkout lanes and parent-teacher conferences are optimized for maximum efficiency. It’s no wonder everyone is so stressed out. People are looking for peace anywhere they can find it, and are turning to Eastern philosophies such as yoga and Zen meditation for wisdom and serenity, as well as metal and physical health. This trend has become apparent in home design, where more simple, Zen-style modern furnishings are being used all the time in place of the contemporary items we’re used to. Modern bedroom furniture consists of clean looking platform beds, simple headboards, nightstands and dressers with clean lines, and simple wooden boxes for our keepsakes.

The bottom line in these types of designs is that no frills are allowed. Frills equal clutter, and a cluttered environment leads to a cluttered mind (and in the end, this affects the body). A good start toward transforming your space is a modern platform bed like the Contemporary Chocolate Platform Bed from South Shore Furniture. Finished in a very earthy chocolate brown tone, this bed is all about clean, straight lines and no busy ornamentation. It is simply a flat surface to hold your mattress (no box springs, please) and a slightly smaller rectangular frame underneath to lift the mattress about 8 inches off the floor. There is no simpler piece of bedroom furniture than a platform bed.

South Shore Furniture is the maker of this affordable modern bed. It is available in full or queen sizes and is also available in several other colors. Adorn your mattress with earth-toned sheets in shades of green, brown, or orange and you’ll have a calm, serene place to sleep peacefully every night.
