An idea I had after staying at a hotel with Japanese style beds. While I like the look and design of Japanese beds, I find them uncomfortable to sleep in because they’re so hard. So, I had the idea of getting the Japanese look, but with the comfort of a regular mattress.
This enlarged bed that I came up with could either be considered a type of four-poster bed, or the design could be extended to fill a whole room, making it Interior design.
The mattress sits on a low frame on the floor, a platform is then raised to the same level as the top of the mattress and finished with tatami mats. This gives the look that the bed is a lot thinner than it really is. The tatami mat platform can have hinged doors built into it, giving a large amount of storage underneath the raised platform.
The sides of the platform are finished with Japanese style wood and paper screens, that can be used either as a simple wall covering or doorway into the bed space, or can be utilised to keep furnishings hidden from view when not in use, a wall mounted television for example, or a built in closet. The screens can also be used in place of curtains or blinds in front of a window or balcony door. The elements of the bed design can be used to fit the space, regardless of its shape or size, making it a cheap and versatile interior system.
