Considered the most simple and basic platform bed, this lacks any additional embellishments and aesthetic additions. These beds are characterized by straight lines, low profiles, and a simple design.
Because of their low profile, the base of the beds needs to be sturdy. This is why many of these beds are made from hardwoods such as oak, mahogany and maple. Although these beds lack decorative detail, their functionality and longevity is unmatched, as their natural beauty shines through. The Bondi King Bed is an example of a contemporary platform bed.
Beds in this category are a classic design which has managed to stand the test of time. These beds have a distinctive adornment and intricate designs. The beds have a relatively higher profile than the contemporary style.
Traditional beds are best suited in environments with other traditional Scandinavian décor where they will easily blend in. These beds offer excellent functionality, but their highlight includes their embellishments and intricate designs. The Monaco King Bed is a beautiful example.
Modern platform beds are the most common in today’s households. Created back in the 1920s-1950s, modern platform beds are characterized by clean, unadorned, flowing lines. The beds lack many embellishments but the eye-catching design makes up for the missing adornment.
The beds have a medium profile and are made from natural raw materials such as teak and leather. Take the Nelson bed, for instance, is constructed from rich walnut and leather. Their simple lines accentuate the grain of the wood and give the beds a characteristic beauty that a lot of people love.
Storage or space-saving platform beds, are beds designed to offer extra cupboards of space beneath the mattress for storage. These chests of drawers and shelves beneath the mattress where you can keep clothing and other things in the bedroom.
The main focus of space-saving beds is their space-saving capabilities. Little attention is paid to ornamentation and decoration. Instead, the design is aimed at maximizing efficiency by minimizing the space occupied by the bed or combining the space with other functional uses. The Scandic Queen Bed has two pull out drawers for added room, and Copenhagen can special order a variety of models to suit your storage needs.
