Nowadays it is more and more common to see so called podium beds, – these are beds that do not have a platform under the mattress, just throw the mattress on the floor and the bed is ready, but it is not really practical, and not really convenient.
Instead of a platform under the mattress, you can use wooden pallets, which you probably have in the garage. Pallets should be pre-washed, dried, cleaned to avoid sticking out prickles, painted or varnished, and of course lay out and align. Then bolt together to avoid shifting. You can make a platform on the size of the mattress, or a little more, so that your idea was visible.
You can make a suspended bed, all from the same pallets, but in the case of a suspended bed it is desirable to attach more side boards, as the mattress can move out, but it is not necessary, you can do without it. For a suspended bed, you need to fix the fixtures in the ceiling well.
You can also design a bunk bed. Now it is increasingly common in families with two or more children. These beds are needed when the room for children is very small, and children simply have nowhere to turn. Make bunk beds with their own hands is not easy, but to perform such a task is certainly possible, most importantly to choose good fittings and come up with a design. And your kids will appreciate the quilt, made by your hands. Once you understand how to quilt, you will not only be able to decorate your home, but also make wonderful gifts to your family and friends.
From the wooden pallets can be constructed not only a bed but also a bedside table or a bedside shelf. To make a bedside cabinet can be used not pallet, and ordinary wooden crate, which our grandmothers used to store vegetables for the winter. Just like the pallet, the box should be pre-scrubbed, cleaned and varnished, or painted. If desired, you can make shelves in it.
In a similar way, you can make a hanging bedside shelf, where you can store books, expensive knickknacks and many other things.
