If you are going all out on any room in your home, it should be your bedroom, you spend some real quality time there and it is the first thing you see every day when you wake up.

With that said, you will definitely need to find the ultimate place to sleep and if you are into the modern interior design, you will have some great choices as you will see.

Probably the best design for most people is a platform bed with storage. It makes life so much easier if you are short on space and need that extra storage for all of your bedding. make sure that you check out how the bed actually opens so that you are aware of it being with side drawers or a complete bed life.

The simple and clean look may be part of the allure and the elimination of box springs / additional mattress support offers designers the opportunity to really create something special and fun to look at.

These lower styles were originally more of European influence and still, some of the most quality made products and forward-thinking designs are available from overseas manufacturers like B & B Italia, Ruf-Betten, and Natuzzi to name just a few.

Many offer a flexible slat system to act as a cushion since the box spring will not be used.

We wanted to show you some of our favorites so here are 100 Platform Bed Designs and Ideas that will surely offer some insight into what you do and don’t like as you narrow down your selection.

We have included a wide variety of looks from the most rustic reclaimed wood to the sleekest modern Italian designs and everything in between.

Common Questions For Platform Beds and Low Profile Beds

What is a low profile platform bed?

A low profile bed is exactly what the name says and cannot normally have an under-bed storage compartment. A low profile bed normally comes with a box spring mattress, whereas a platform bed gets its mattress support from wooden slats or a solid piece of wood placed under the mattress. This is possible due to the height of the bed.

Extra Large Headboard

This bedroom looks stunning as the ceilings are so high it opens a very large space into something special. A very comfy looking kingsize bed in a warm and welcome bedroom.

 

Leather Double Bed

A stunning looking bedroom with a leather style double bed and a fully open window view into the garden. The whole bedroom looks dark and very inviting.

 

There are sure some great-looking designs and I like some specialty lightings and LED’s that some styles incorporate. We have seen more upholstered models in fabric and leather that are a nice way to add some softness and texture.

We hope you found a style or two that may work in your design project!
