CAD Platform Bed with Drawers

Custom Design Build Bed
      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.

This is a project I'm looking forward to building for my girl!




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:

  1. Taller Posts.  I raised the post to the highest point of the Arch Headboard.
  2. I also added the Full Globes on the Bed Posts instead of the Dome type caps in the first design. 
  3. I changed the Footboard to black medal rods as an option that we may or may not do.  Since she has asked for:
  4. 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!
