SLEEPLACE 18 Inch Tall Heavy Duty Steel Slat Bed Frame ST-3000 (Full)

We teach you how to make your own floating bed, do not miss it.

Looking for originality when decorating our house does not have to be synonymous with spending a lot of money buying furniture in exclusive stores. We always insist that there are many options at our reach, we just need a couple of good ideas and a little patience and skill to be able to manufacture the exclusive furniture ourselves.

The economic cost is much lower and although we take a couple of days to manufacture it, it will be an exclusive work that we can enjoy for many years . Today we want to show you how to build the base so that a bed seems floating . Of all the DIY we have developed, this is not exactly the simplest, however the result is spectacular and you just need a little patience.

We leave you the photographs explaining step by step the procedure to get your own floating bed, attentive!

  • These are the basic planes of the two bases that we need.
  • Both frames are joined at the top center.

The lower base is made with slats 5 cm wide x 20 cm high and the upper frame with slats 5 cm wide x 10 cm high. Therefore, the measurement of the base will be: 120 cm x 170 cm x 20 cm and the measurement of the top frame will be: 170 cm x 2.10 cm x 10 cm. These are the corresponding measures for a mattress of 150 cm x 190 cm.

  • We place a wooden plank on the base to achieve a flat and smooth surface.
  • We place the headboard on the top, where we have joined the two main structures.
  • The measurements of the headboard will be 170 cm x 100 cm x 5 cm.
  • Once we put everything together, we sanded it to be able to paint it.
  • In this case a mahogany wood color was chosen to be able to give contrast with the room, but obviously the color is optional.
  • We placed on the edge of the structure, at the bottom, a string of LED lights of 7 meters bordering it as shown in the photograph.

This is the final result:

  • You already have a floating bed for your bedroom, enjoy it!
