After: Grand Platform Bed

« Before: Bland Bedroom | Fireplace and Wainscoting »

Contrasting wall color is used to separate different areas of the large room. The grand space is filled with an elegant eight-foot-tall padded headboard. The headboard is comprised of nine padded squares sitting inside a wooden frame. Below the headboard is a king-size platform bed with built-in nightstands. The design team constructed the bed frame using the same sturdy wood as the headboard.

Step-by-step instructions are available so you can make your own bed frame.
