Everyday designs

  1. A low platform frame creates a calm, grounded look and suits sloping or low ceilings.
  2. An upholstered frame with a padded headboard makes reading in bed far more comfortable.
  3. A storage frame with drawers or a lift-up base hides bedding and seasonal clothes.

Statement designs

  1. A four-poster frame adds height and architecture to a room with tall ceilings.
  2. A canopy frame dressed in light fabric creates a cosy, enclosed feel.
  3. A floating frame with a recessed base appears to hover and keeps small rooms airy.
  4. A built-in bed with cupboards around it turns a tiny room into a neat sleeping nook.

Tip: Choose a frame that matches your mattress size exactly so there are no gaps where limbs or small children can become trapped. Use gas-strut lift-up bases with care and keep fingers clear, and secure tall or built-in frames to the wall.
