subject: Some Ways That Decorating Can Be Fun With A Platform Storage Bed [print this page] When you break out of the standard bedroom furniture styles, you can find ways that decorating can be fun with a platform storage bed. Good storage is only one nice perk to this type of bed frame or support.
The concept of storage under a bed is hardly new. Putting drawers under twin beds is pretty standard. The old water beds from the sixties had drawers as well. But you can do more to update under the bed storage than just put in a set of drawers.
The plastic storage bins with wheels work well under just about any standard mattress and box spring. But the platform bed can give you extra height to work with. Extra height means extra space. And who cannot use extra space?
Using a deeper pull out bin means that more than just shoes or extra linens can go under the bed. But maybe you have more in mind than storage. Maybe you want to use that platform bed as a central theme in the bedroom.
Depending on how you dress your bed, you can create a serene stress free refuge or a space age tech heavy command center. Put a bed skirt around the platform and you can still hide you laundry and off-season clothing. Or leave it off for showing off.
Add side tables that are flexible enough to use as desk space in the day and lamp tables at night. But why stop there? You can make your platform a bookcase or art display. Yes shoes are art, but so are ceramics and photos.
Decorating can be fun with a platform storage bed because you are not limited by standard bed frames and box springs. You can let your imagination soar. Make that bed an island paradise in the midst of the city or Shangri La in the mid west.
