is an improvement on a similar design build project I first did 15 years ago. This design is an improvement on my original design that eliminates the trouble I had moving the bed in and out of the Home.
Instead of one huge piece of furniture to maneuver around this design has 4 sections: Headboard, Footboard, and 2 box springs or drawer sections. When separated each section can then be moved by one person.
Platform Bed CAD design with storage |
Since posting this first design my girl has asked for taller bed posts. I also had an additional idea on incorporating some metal rails into the footboard for a more modern look rather than a the solid look in the first photo.
The changes my girl asked for in the project were:
- Taller Posts. I raised the post to the highest point of the Arch Headboard.
- I also added the Full Globes on the Bed Posts instead of the Dome type caps in the first design.
- I changed the Footboard to black medal rods as an option that we may or may not do. Since she has asked for:
- A place to add Gold Leaf Stencil Calligraphy!
Platform Bed with Drawers Final Design! |
I've noticed a design flaw on future usability issue of 2 Drawers.
When bedside tables are added to the side of the bed, this will limit the use of the drawer under the pillow section- since it will not be able to be pulled out completely. I'm a little undecided at the moment on whether I'll make it a dummy drawer for aesthetic purposes, or make it a full drawer that gets limited use.
Stay tuned for the final final design and build pictures!
