Platform Bed Blog : Bed News and Updates

I am not sure about how many people would love the idea of eating while cooking? This Inax Series is ideal if you have space issues and love something that is rare and special. A cooking stove is attached to the edge of the table so that you can dine and cook together. It does not look strange at all but make a great centerpiece in your dining room. Below the stove, there is a storage cabinet which lets you store your food and sources and therefore make your table clutter-free.

With this table, you do not need to run to the kitchen while you are eating because it is just right beside you!

One of the mistakes that most people made is that they did not do any careful planning before going out for furniture. The degree of planning also varies a lot depending on how much time you want to spend on planning and how much money you are going to spend on furniture.  Measure the spacing before you buy is the very basic step you can take for planning.

More complicated  planning, however, is better to be executed by planning tools. For example, you want to preview the color options and try different layouts. Now, IKEA is offering free planning tools for rooms like kitchen, bedroom and office, you can go to their website at IKEA.com and try it out.

I know you have been thinking hard on what kind of bed, what kind of nightstand and what kind of chest to get to make your bedroom a peaceful retreat. This inevitably will consume a lot of time and money. While people put too much attention on getting a decent bed and other accessories for the bedroom, they usually would overlook other small things such as fine art for bedroom that can make your bedroom more unique and Romantic. The great thing about buying bedroom fine art is that it does cost you a lot. You are generally looking at a price range around $10 – $60.  I particularly like to choose my favorite art pieces from www.NewFrameDart.com

While i was doing some research on how to build a platform bed in the most cost-effective way, I found this awesome guide where Heather and John showed us how they spent the afternoon building the platform bed frame. They used materials such as MDF pieces and tools like miter saw and power drill.

The idea is to build 2 frames and stack on top of each other. This picture shows how’s it looked like as a finished piece:
