This is the ultimate floating bed. While many floating bed designs require some type of minimal ground support to pull off the visual perception of floating, the Fluttua bed appears to be truly on air through a wall installation. More about this room
The floating bed design is ideal for minimalist rooms, as it appears visually lighter due to space beneath the bed and the lack of headboard. This allows the statement pieces of a room, like this antler chandelier, to take center stage.
This already contemporary design becomes even more sleek and modern when finished in bright red lacquer. Carrying the same color to the doorframe and room shelving unifies the room’s design.
Floating bed designs also work wonders for smaller rooms since they take up minimal visual space. A clean-lined side table offsets the bed design in similar contemporary fashion.
A monochromatic color scheme plus floating bed equals a room that is equal parts sophisticated and modern.
This oversized square design complements the modern take on this room’s square and rectangular windows, adding to the overall contemporary aesthetic.
Many bed designs seem to "float" by means of a ground support. Disguise that ground support as much as possible by choosing a finish for the bed that closely resembles that of your flooring.
Some hidden ground supports include extra storage drawers.
Every bedroom benefits from a few extra nooks and crannies for storage.
