Designer Bed: Incredible Bed Designs To Suit Your Needs

A bed gives life to the bedroom, and a bedroom can look pretty lifeless if, well, the bed doesn’t have any flair to it either. These days people are all about having a classy bed that looks elegant and simplistic but doesn’t look overdone. What people go for these days are designer beds. 

Designer bed designs are beds that look awesome, feel awesome, are readily available or can be custom-made too. Designer bed designs have become widespread and can be easily found in your nearest furniture shop. 

They are made to be way more comfortable, functional and appealing than what a standard bed could be. There are several styles and designs that each can be catered to a customer’s wants and needs. 

 

9 best designer bed designs to add a touch of glamour to your bedroom

Platform beds

These are one of the most common forms of designer beds and have plenty of good reasons to be so too. Platform beds have a moderate height and are hollow from the underside.

They have been the go-to since decades and for a good reason too. They have plenty of headroom and are available in a ton of sizes. They can be customised with an upholstered headboard and can work with any sort of mattress as well. 

 

Box beds 

Box beds are way more functional than standard platform beds. They have an openable storage under their frame that can be accessed easily and used to store occasionally used commodities like suitcases, bags, winter wear, etc. 

A lot of box beds today are made of materials that aren’t quite durable and strong and focus way too much on functionality rather than durability and quality.

Do your thorough research and weigh your options from various manufacturers. Box beds usually open from either the top of the frame or the sides with a hinge or sliding out mechanism respectively and can be made out of wood of your choice as well. 

 

Bunk beds

These beds are geared more towards kids and children but are also used for teens and adults in places like dorms, hostels, camps etc. Bunk beds consist of two small, single beds that are placed one above the other with supported sides or pillars. These beds can accommodate a single person on each level and are used to save space in confined spaces.

These days, bunk beds are more popular amongst children as they can offer kids a fun time on top and the bottom, sort of like an adventure that has been dialled down. Bunk beds are available in various materials and finishes.

 

Convertible sofa beds

In the early 2000s, when people were raving about functionality and effortlessness, came along the sofa-cum-bed. It was a convertible bed that could be folded inwards or through an underside attachment that could be pulled outwards to be converted into a sofa and it was all the rage then.

As times went on and houses grew bigger, people realised they weren’t as comfortable as a standalone bed or a sofa, so the trend died out. These can still be bought and are quite the choice for some, even today. But again, repairability and customisation are a headache with them. 

 

Canopy beds

Used in earlier times by only the royal families, canopy beds have canopy-style curtains on all four sides. Canopy beds are still on the more expensive end of the spectrum and not very affordable, given their high maintenance. 

As far as canopy beds go, they are extremely functional, with canopy curtains being either translucent or completely opaque to offer privacy and protection without the downsides of low ventilation.

Canopy beds are also warmer and cosier, given their privacy, which makes them feel just the right amount of confined. They also look very elegant and can complement a coordinated background quite well.

 

Futon beds

Futon beds are incredibly versatile. These sort of fall in the middle of beds and couches and were made with both use cases in mind. Unlike convertible beds, futon beds come in only one single setting but are big enough to allow a person to sleep, and small enough to allow 3-4 people to sit on like they would on a couch. 

 

Murphy beds

Murphy beds are a great choice for someone who wants to save space but do it on a budget. This type of bed is attached to the wall by a hinge which can be folded up against the wall. While fellow maximalists might argue, we find this idea to be extremely utilitarian and convenient for people who live in smaller spaces or just want to make clever use of their spaces. 

 

Poster beds

Poster beds have a similar appearance to canopy beds, but without the draping. Poster beds have tall pillar-like posts on each vertex of the bed that have the same height. there are various types of poster beds with varying heights that can be bought according to the consumer’s wants. 

 

Hammocks

Hammocks are a rather unusual type of bed that have an adventurous flair to them. These beds consist of a suspended piece of strong fabric made out of rope or canvas and are tied between two or more pillar-like structures. Commonly found in the wild, these beds are great for a single night’s sleep and are extensively used by explorers, but can also be used in your garden or your treehouse, along with a small mattress.
