Bed-Rooms Within Bedrooms

Paola and John have a big, beautiful house with a large bedroom. This four-poster bed sections off the room without the use of walls, and the artwork between the posts helps to further define the area. It's what we call a "bed-room" within a bedroom, a way of creating a cozy sleeping space within a loft or a large room...

The Chinese Bed is an ancient way of creating a room within a room. The raised platform creates a little step where you can leave your shoes.

This four-poster bed from Living Etc. uses a pendant lamp to define the space between the frame as its own little "room."

This loft bedroom from Bunker Hill is just large enough to fit a mattress. The paneling helps to separate it from the rest of the space.

Tiramolla Loft Bedrooms create space for beds, storage, and a little office all in one place. It's a perfect solution for studio apartments or for kids that share rooms.

These are neat photos! I'd hate to sleep in the "bottom" bunk of the last photo though --- no room to sit up!

My dream bedroom has the Room & Board stainless steel Portico bed in it. Sigh.

I want a four poster bed like the top pic. without legs. :)

or just have a nice cozy sized bedroom and then no need to make the space feel smaller

Love the look of the totally-enclosed Chinese bed-room, like a little bed-cave. The rolling chair up high in the kids' loft room scares me, though!

The last two pictures are back injuries waiting to happen.

I wish I had this dilemma! My bedroom is so small, I barely have space to walk around the bed.

I don't see the point of four-poster beds that don't have canopies/curtains. I would love to be enclosed in a four-poster with the curtains drawn.

the chinese bed is so cool

This loft bedroom from Bunker Hill is a great use of space! I wonder if that ladder is lifted up inside or put someplace else when not in use. It would totally blend into the rest of the space with the door shut.
