Renovation Quotes
from local renovators
The bed may just be the most essential piece of furniture in the home. They are the epicentre of a busy life - even in our increasingly technological age where each person is wired in to multiple communicative networks every day, we cannot deny our own limited battery life! Nobody can get away without a good night’s sleep. When it comes to health and relaxation, you’ll hear a lot of chatter about updating your mattress and finding a surface perfectly comfortable for your shape and preferences. But what about finding a bed frame that you’ll also never want to leave?
Let’s start with loft beds…
Mocked for years as petty entertainment for small children and dismissed as the practical friend of the spatially impaired, loft beds have made a dramatic comeback. Now they are royalty in the world of unusual bed design, teaming practicality with beauty and affordability.
Bunk beds have never been so sophisticated and unassuming.
Endless storage options are just another advantage of these bad boys.
They can be as elaborate as a split level room with space for sleep and for daytime relaxation...
… or as humble as a few simple floating surfaces.
Want to tackle communal living with style? The more the merrier.
Hammock beds are another crowd pleaser...
The cooler, edgier sibling of the loft bed, perfect for capturing that sleepy feeling of weightlessness while also maximising your floor space and keeping interiors simple and snappy.

When you’re pressed for room around the home, it can be important to maximise the functionality of all of your furniture. Why settle for a mere bed when you can have something multi-talented, like a Doc sofa which transforms into a bunk bed come sundown?
Or a Karen Babel Bed Case, which alternates between providing a comfy place for some shut eye and a generous place for some book storage.
Or for the more paranoid among us, a bed which disguises a bullet and fireproof secret safe may be just the ticket.
What about something a little more beautiful?
They mightn’t be as practical, but what’s guaranteed to unwind your troubles faster than a bed with a great view? Besides, waking up to the sunlight is a magical way to drag yourself out of bed in the morning - and watching a beautiful sunset from the cosy throws of bed is what dreams (and romcoms) are made of.
From charming cityscapes…
… to gorgeous balconies…
… and panoramic beaches.
There are children’s beds to suit all adventurous tastes…
Think nautical pirate fun...… and fairytale treehouses and hidey holes.
On a budget? Why not glam up your existing bed with a funky bedhead?
Bedheads are traditionally subtle, designed to blend into the bedroom or bring out the colour and style of the linen. Investing in a creative bedhead, or crafting your own, will get your bed feeling funky and unusual at a fraction of the cost. Perfect for the indecisive or those who like a bit of regular reshuffling!
You can use your old bookshelves or dresser…
A fireplace screen makes a pretty, minimalist choice.
A fish tank might help you lull yourself off to sleep.
Keep your books ever handy for those midnight reads...
If in doubt, just draw up your own with a piece of chalk.
And then there are some creative bed designs which can’t really be weighed down by a category.
From popular culture to fairytales, ergonomic options and downright strange - these will put a solid dent in your pocket but may just fulfill a childhood fantasy!
