Bespoke Wooden Bed Frames: The Perfect
Blend of Style and Function

Beautify your room or your child’s room with a custom-made wooden bed frame.  Bed frames serve several functions.  First, they lift the mattress and bedding off the floor, second, they allow insect nets to be added, and third, they add visual interest.

Why Off the Floor is good

Historically, floors are prone to drafts and prone to bugs of all kinds. A bed platform provides the ability to keep mattresses and bedding away from dust and debris that enter a room.  It also makes it easier to keep it safe from bed bugs, fleas, and spiders.  While mice are rank opportunists for any cozy place to hide, it also helps keep snakes from snuggling up while you sleep.  Most modern homes are not prone to these things.  However, if you have a rustic cabin or are renovating an older home, protecting yourself from the local “wildlife” may be a consideration.  Aside from hypothetical living intruders, an off-floor bed makes it easier to keep linens clean, as sheets, blankets, and spreads can be neatly tucked away during the day.  A broom can run under the bed to drive dust bunnies away.

Frame above the bed

Again we turn to history.  High four-poster beds were created so that curtains could be hung around a bed.  The curtains provided privacy.  In cold areas, they helped to store the body heat generated by the sleepers.  Finely woven nets helped repel flying insects – and that still makes sense today, as mosquitoes can find their way almost anywhere.  High frames also provide decoration options for bed curtains and other items.

Visual interest

A beautiful bed frame can transform an ordinary bedroom into something special, be it a lavish declamation of fandom or a quiet area for rest and meditation.  Bed frames can be simple, ornate, or almost non-existent – they simply support the bedding.  They can be almost standalone or match the other furniture in the room.  In conclusion, a bed frame can be a handy item that will help keep the bedding clean.  A canopy frame can spark interest or protect from drafts and flying insects.  Most importantly, a bed frame can be simple or beautiful – or somewhere in between.
