Platform beds are versatile, comfortable and stylish and with so many design choices on the market there is sure to be a model that appeals to you and your personal sense of style and taste.
One gorgeous example is the elegant and simple Contemporary Chocolate Bedroom Set, which comes complete with a full or queen size platform bed either with or without drawers and a nightstand in a dark chocolate colored finish called “Endless Chocolate”. The models with drawers make it possible to minimize the need for any additional furniture for clothing storage in your room while maintaining a clean silhouette throughout the room. The bed platform itself features rounded corners to ensure the utmost safety when the room is dark. The classic nightstand comes with a shelf and a drawer for having personal items such as reading materials within arm’s reach at all times.

If you’ve been watching any of the design shows on television lately you know that designing a room to have an Asian flair is the “in” thing to do. Many people are using whatever pieces of Asian décor they can find, and some have even gone so far as to create rock gardens in their bedrooms! While it is nice to have master bedroom furniture that has an Asian feel to it, especially if you enjoy the Asian look, you don’t necessarily have to go so far that you’ve introduced a rock garden into your bedroom in order to get an Asian feeling.

Many pieces of contemporary bedroom furniture are designed with an Asian touch to them. While some have only a small Asian feel to them, many pieces are designed to look as though they belong in a bedroom in Japan or China. The Tiburon Kona Storage Bed is a bed that you would almost expect to find in a swanky upscale Japanese hotel. This bed has a distinct Asian feel, thanks to the geometric patterns that repeat in both the headboard and the footboard, but it also incorporates something many Asian people enjoy: multi-functionality. It not only works as a bed, but also as a storage device, allowing you to stow all of your stuff underneath the bed.

Made by Hillside Furniture, this bed is not only simple, but sophisticated as well, and makes it easy to have affordable bedroom furniture with an Asian flair.

One of the most popular styles of decorating now is Asian. Many people love to have a Japanese or Chinese feel in their house, and it’s no wonder why: the East has been creating beautiful decorations and designs for longer than most of the West has been around, which means that they’ve had plenty of time to perfect their designs. Platform Beds are one way to bring an Eastern feel into your home without spending a lot of money, or a lot of thought about your decoration. You can find a platform bed at almost any good furniture manufacturer, as they’ve become very popular, but selecting the right platform bed will make the difference between making your bedroom look nice, and making it have an oriental feel.

When you’re looking for an Oriental feel, look for smooth, solid lines. The swoops and curves in Oriental decoration are usually very gentle, and are not bold at all, so gentle curves are allowed. Darker colors are often mixed in with brighter colors, to make a very strong statement. It is possible to have a foot board on a wooden platform bed while maintaining Oriental feel, but one without a foot board will give you the feel more easily than selecting one that has the right dimensions and moves to it. One such beautiful bed is the Kyoto Bed by Fashion Bed Group.

Once you’ve browsed through platform beds and selected one that has an oriental feel to it, you can then add some color and other decor to your bedroom to further the feel.  While you may be tempted to go towards the typical Japanese and Chinese décor, try using something more unique. For instance, instead of buying jade statues, look for paintings that incorporate jade in them and that have an Eastern feel. Added to your Oriental Platform Bed, you will find that you are easily able to transform your bedroom into an Eastern oasis.

Many years ago, a four poster canopy bed was very popular. It featured long posts on each of the corners, often with a canopy on top of the posts. One thing about them that was hard to ignore is that they were very high off of the ground. It often required a few steps just to get up to the mattress to go to bed, giving them a very imposing look in the bedroom. Most beds now are a more manageable size, as most bedrooms are too small to be able to accommodate a large, high bed like a four poster bed. There are some beds, however, that have that imposing feel to them.

The Sonoma Tall Storage Bed is a bed that is slightly taller than most regular beds. It isn’t the height of the bed that makes it imposing, however, but the amount of storage that it has underneath it. Unlike most beds that have storage room, this bed has not six drawers, but twelve. Each side has six beds, double stacked on top of one another, making for a total of twelve drawers. With a bed like this, you will not need much other bedroom furniture, as you can fit your entire wardrobe within it!

Made by the designers at Prepac Furniture, this platform bed is not like any other type of wood platform beds that you’ll see, as it not only requires no box spring, but also leaves you with tons of room for your linens and clothing.

Platform beds are the epitome of simple, minimalistic bedroom design.  They use a bare minimum of materials, have a very low profile, and generally have no extras that are truly unnecessary.  All you really need in a bed is a frame to hold your mattress just a few inches off the ground.  With no bedskirt needed and no blocky box underneath the mattress, the air can flow right under the bed and around the room, encouraging a light, airy feeling in the room.  Most modern platform beds are made of wood, and the Coronado Platform Bed is no exception.

The Coronado Platform Bed by the Lifestyle Solutions furniture company is a perfect example of a modern wooden platform bed that looks very minimal, but it actually very sturdy.  It is simple yet lovely, with a slatted headboard and gracefully tapered legs.  It is available in Cappuccino, Cherry, and Beechwood finish colors to beautifully accent the hardwood construction.  The bed consists of the headboard, side and foot rails and the platform with legs.  The set is available in full, queen, king and California king sizes.  There are also matching nightstands available to turn the one piece into a set- you can order one or two.

This great modern platform bed is made by Lifestyle Solutions furniture, a company that does what its name implies.  They provide solutions to help your lifestyle with convenient and lovely pieces of affordable bedroom furniture and kids bedroom furniture to fit into your design and your budget.
