DIY Platform Bed


Have you ever wanted a platform bed in your room?  You do not need to go out and by an expensive bed to make this happen.  We have some IKEA DIY hacks to make the perfect platform bed for your room.  You can use simple IKEA furniture and a mattress to get the look you want!  You can learn more at Apartment Therapy.


Here’s an idea: turn basic IKEA storage cabinets and dressers into multi-functional lofts. It's a smart way to address the problem of small space — you get both beds and storage in the same footprint. These hacks work well for studio apartments, kids rooms, and dorms. As inspiration, here are different unique ways others made it work for them:

Above, a storage bed that uses parts of IKEA’s STOLMEN closet system as its basis. Initially from Stadshem.se, via Anita Sienudzi.


A mattress placed over two MALM dressers works well for this Swedish boy’s room. Seen on Hitta-Hem.


Another STOLMEN bed hack, this time from Stil Inspiration.


An even more complex build: Ikea kitchen cabinets and doors form storage and steps up to a bed in this small apartment, from Oh Yes Blog.


Weekday Carnival came up with this configuration, with different colored kitchen cabinets (with dinosaur pulls!). To the left of the bed is also a combined desk.


And last but not least, IKEA Hackers shows us this version, with EXPEDIT bookshelves forming a ring around the edge.
