So you just moved into your new house and almost everything is going great. He’s got the big-screen TV installed, surround sound set up, and he’s ready for football season. However, there is a problem. His room is very crowded and he feels claustrophobic in his room. So now you are looking for solutions. I wish you could get rid of your Chester dresser and drawers, but still have room to store your clothes. Well, maybe you can.

What you probably need to organize your room and make it feel like home is a platform bed. You can go to IKEA or your local furniture store to find a bed with a platform underneath that will fit in your room. Or you could go one step further. If you are a do-it-yourself type of person, you could build your new platform bed.

There are some advantages to buying a platform bed. The best thing is that you can do this today and you can organize your room sooner. If you don’t have good DIY skills, you’re probably better off buying one of these beds, too. The main disadvantages of buying a bed with a platform underneath is the cost and the ability to customize it to your needs.

So what are the advantages of making your own bed? You can customize it to your needs with the drawer handles, stain or paint color of your choice, the size of the drawers, or even the cabinetry, among other things. One cool thing you can do is take the space between the drawers on each side and make a storage space with a cabinet door. You can also make your bed a double stacked platform to fit under your bed, giving you even more drawer space. Depending on whether you have three or four drawers wide on each side of the bed, this could give you 12 to 16 drawers to store your clothes or other small items.

Now that you’ve decided to build your own king-size platform bed, what are your next steps? First, you need to find a good set of plans. If you are an experienced carpenter, you may not need to follow these plans exactly as he can make the changes you want to your bed. Once he has chosen the plans that he will use, he will need to make sure that he has all the necessary tools and supplies to complete his project. Once he completes his necessary platform bed, he can finally make your room feel bigger and more organized.
