Enhance your room or your child’s room with a custom made wooden bed frame. Bed frames fulfill several functions. First, they lift the mattress and bedding off the floor, second, they allow insect nets to be attached, and third, they provide a visual highlight.
Why off the floor is good
Historically, floors have been prone to drafts and prone to bugs of all kinds. A bed platform provides an opportunity to protect mattresses and bedding from dust and dirt entering the room. It also facilitates protection against bed bugs, fleas and spiders. While mice are a real opportunist for any cozy hideout, it also helps deter snakes from snuggling up while they sleep. Most modern homes are not prone to these things. However, if you own a rustic cabin or are renovating an older home, protecting yourself from local “wildlife” may be a consideration. Barring hypothetical living intruders, an off-the-floor bed makes bedding cleanliness easier by allowing sheets, blankets, and bedspreads to be neatly tucked away during the day. A broom can run under the bed to drive away dust bunnies.

Again we turn to history. High four-poster beds were created to allow curtains to be hung around a bed. The curtains provided privacy. In cold areas, they helped retain body heat generated by the sleeper. Finely woven nets helped repel flying insects — and that still makes sense today, since mosquitoes find their way almost everywhere. Tall frames also offer decorative options for bed curtains and other items.
visual interest
A beautiful bed frame can transform an ordinary bedroom into something special, whether it’s a generous declaration of fandom or a quiet area for rest and meditation. Bedsteads can be simple, ornate, or almost non-existent – they just support the bedding. They can stand almost alone or match the other furniture in the room. In summary, a bed frame can be a handy item that helps keep linens clean. A canopy frame can add interest or provide protection from drafts and flying insects. Most importantly, a bed frame can be simple or beautiful – or anywhere in between.
