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