Strategy Guide To Create A Modern Bed Frame

Perhaps you're tired of the rickety metal frame of your bed and you have no laid funds to buy an expensive new frame

. If you want to have a modern style bed without spending too much, you can opt to custom build your own frame at home. All you need are the tools, time and patience to accomplish this project. Whether you want a basic frame or something that could hold drawers, you can do any of these at the comfort of your home.

The materials you would be needing to accomplish your modern style bed with drawers are as follows: plenty of high quality wood, bed rail hangers or if these are unavailable you could use lag bolts, screws, veneered plywood, and wood glue. Take the measurements of your mattress and make sure to add an inch and a half to your base board measurement in order for the drawers to fit perfectly. Begin making boxes using four pieces of wood for per box and an additional wood piece for the bottom part of your drawers. Make sure that the two side pieces are longer than the wood pieces for the front and back parts of your drawers. Secure each piece together using wood glue, or for a sturdier finish use screws instead.

If you're finished with your bed drawers, build the base of your bed frame where you would place your drawers; use four pieces of quality wood for the main frame and additional piece for the middle of the frame. The wood pieces of your frame should be higher than the drawers you created. To make the space under your bed more wider, you can use bed risers. Attach the four pieces of wood together at the end of each piece using bed rail hangers or lag bolts; then, secure the additional wood horizontally at the middle of the frame, consider this as the support beam of your bed.

To make your bed frame sturdier, make at least smaller cross sections of wood pieces at least half the size of the main frame of your bed. These wood slabs would be lined vertically across the inside of your main frame; they will support your drawers along with your mattress. Secure one long wood at the middle in line with your support beam. Then, glue or screw the small pieces of wood across the center wood.

Secure the tracks of your drawers at the cross section of your bed frame. Attach the runners to your drawers and test fit them in your frame. After which, remove them once again and set aside so that you can place your veneered plywood on top of the frame, which will serve as the support of your mattress. Once you secured your veneered plywood in place, you can paint or decorate your frame including your drawers.

When your paint is already dry, insert your drawers back to their designated places inside the frame and lay the mattress on the baseboard. Now, you can enjoy your homemade modern bed with drawers. Definitely, this project could demand time and effort on your side. However, once you're done building your frame, all the time and effort you spent would surely pay off.
