Did you know that you spend a third of your life sleeping ?
So maybe it's worth having a comfortable and original bed, right?
But don't worry, you don't need to spend a fortune!
Here are 14 ingenious beds that you can easily make yourself to sleep well at home. Watch:
We love the rustic vibe of this reclaimed wood bed. And we love the storage underneath!
Reclaimed wood pedestals are great for storing pillows, blankets, or other stuff that's left on the nightstand.
A concrete block bed base is ideal for creating a minimalist bedroom or for giving your bedroom an industrial vibe. The advantage of this bed is that it is very easy to make. Just put concrete blocks next to each other and that's it! Apart from the blocks to transport, nothing too difficult.
Hide a sheet of plywood under the bed so there are no blocks in the center. It will be more comfortable that way. Add a coat of paint to the concrete to match the color of your room. There you have it, a perfect design!
What better way to fall asleep than rocking gently on a suspended bed? For the suspended bed base, you can use a whole bunch of different materials.
For example, wooden pallets, plywood sheets or old beams. The most important thing is to check that your ceiling can support the weight of your bed plus yours! Check with a professional so you don't do anything stupid.
These 2 beds are made from salvaged slats from an old children's bunk bed. The headboards and footboards are made of old wooden pallets to create a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere for children.
What could be better than recovering a bed that would otherwise have ended up in the trash? You save money and it's good for the planet.
Wooden pallets are an inexhaustible source of ideas for DIYers as we saw in this article.
Wooden pallets are perfect for making an elegant box spring for your bedroom. All it takes is a simple coat of white paint and you're done!
If your bedroom is not rectangular, but has an irregular shape with an angle that is difficult to use, try making a box spring that exactly matches the shape of the bedroom.
This way, you recover space in your room instead of losing it. And while you're at it, don't forget to add storage underneath to maximize your bedroom space even more.
Cardboard might look too flimsy to support your weight while you sleep, but the one you see in the photo is actually very strong.
This cardboard in the shape of a "honeycomb" (sometimes found in the boxes of household appliances) is particularly resistant and can be used perfectly as a bed base.
Mid-century beds have a nicely minimal design, but they also come at an exorbitant price. Fortunately, we can completely copy this retro look. Of course, a little preparation is necessary:you have to take the right measurements and cut in the right place.
But once you add hairpin legs, you'll have a vintage design for a third of the price!
A bed on wheels is ideal for easy cleaning in your home. And you will also appreciate its mobility if you like to change the layout of the furniture in your home.
Don't forget to choose casters that lock otherwise you might end up across the room in the morning!
Here is a rustic and original bed! The box spring is made with railway sleepers stacked on top of each other. Ingenious isn't it?
The advantage is that you can choose the height and width that you like. You can find used sleepers on leboncoin or on donnons.org.
Aluminum and iron pipes provide a very modern finish to a canopy bed. You can hang a tapestry, curtains on it or even leave it empty. In any case, your bed will attract attention!
If your ceiling is strong enough to support the weight of a bed and mattress, you can use this old method to hang it from the ceiling.
Make 4 holes at each end of the wooden box spring. Run 4 strings through the ceiling and pass them through the holes in the box spring. Tie a knot underneath to hold it in place. Now all you have to do is gently climb into bed.
Putting rubber wheels on a simple wooden frame allows your bed to become an easily movable piece of furniture. Very practical for studios and modular spaces.
Here too, don't forget to take locking wheels so you don't end up on the doorstep when you wake up!
Do you want to change your box spring because yours is a bit old? You can easily give it a second life by upholstering it.
Find a fabric you like that goes with your interior, then add legs to make the box spring stand out.
