Contemporary Daybed

If you want a seamless look in your bedroom, platform beds are the way to go. The platform supports the mattress, so there's no need for a box spring or extra mattress. In this room, the varying gray tones on the bed complement the gray colors in the walls and metallic elements in the room.The cool, blue tones of the ombre wall treatment enhance the warm shades in the throw pillows.

Extra Storage

This rustic wood platform bed also functions as a bookshelf and vignette. The distressed wood is tempered by the soft bedding, and the vibrant artwork mirrors the books in the bed's built-in bookshelf.

Reclaimed Wood Bed

It's hard to believe this visually-appealing bed and headboard are made with reclaimed wood. Pendant lighting flanks either side of the bed to highlight it and for symmetry.

Intricate Headboard

Platform beds don't always have to be in a modern bedroom. The clean lines of the upholstered platform bed and lush fabrics of the throw pillows create a serene, romantic feel. The dramatic headboard adds life to the otherwise monochromatic design, while a three-dimensional rug placed underneath the bed brings extra texture.

Pairing With Bold Elements

The minimalistic aspect of a platform bed yields the opportunity to make use of bolder prints and patterns in the bedroom. The bright blue movie poster stands out against the neutral yet graphic wallpaper. A satin throw is an inviting addition to the decor that also complements the window treatments.

Glam Yet Relaxing

Luxurious textures are plentiful in this old Hollywood glam bedroom. The plush textures and soft lilac color add a calm, gentle contrast against the rich, charcoal walls and glistening end table and chandelier. The lavender platform bed blends seamlessly with the serene design.

Double Platform

If your bedroom has a loft-style setup, place the bed area there. This allows for more storage without eliminating precious floor space. A tiered nightstand provides extra surface space, and a vertically-striped curtain gives the illusion of more height.

Floral + Brick

A platform bed keeps a low profile to allow the exposed brick wall to act as the focal point. The comforter's floral print balances out the sharp edges and lines of the wall.
