modern furniture

PadStyle.com turned us onto LTD Mod, a neat modern furniture company that makes nature look sleeker than ever before. We love the Delta “low profile” platform bed above, crafted out subtly distressed acacia mangium wood that would be easy to design an entire room around.

hamburger bed

Juno has nothing on this.

Meet the Hamburger Bed, the brainchild of a crafty burger enthusiast in Texas. This existential creation challenges our dietary norms, raising questions like “Who’s eating who?” and “Where’s the ketchup?” Also, it’s apparently very comfortable.

According to the creator, Kayla, the hamburger bed is composed of the following:

  • circular bed + box frame (circa the ’70s)
  • light brown fabric
  • slightly darker light brown fabric
  • dark brown king-sized fitted sheet
  • yellow, green king-sized sheets (skip the yellow if you don’t want a cheeseburger)
  • 30 or so pillows
  • “a couple of zippers”
  • pantyhose (to fashion sesame seeds)

bunk beds

We just stumbled upon an incredible piece of furniture called DOC, a convertible sofa from Bonbon Trading. But this couch doesn’t just convert into a bed — it converts into two beds.

The exact mechanics elude us, but the DOC somehow transforms into bunk beds, including a ladder and protective guard.

Your move, Optimus Prime.

Most people encounter loft beds in college — those space-saving pieces of furniture that made your prison-cell-sized dorm room feel, well, like a slightly larger prison cell. But lofts aren’t just for the collegiate crowd. If you’re looking to conserve some floor space, or simply to design a chic and urban-style bedroom, a loft might be just the thing. (Remember, they even make lofts for full- and queen-sized mattresses!)

Here are a couple things to keep in mind when shopping for lofts:

Ceiling height. Lofts come in all different heights, and some of them are adjustable, so you should take the time to shop around for a product the right size for your ceiling. How much room you need above your loft is up to you — in some cases, you can even give yourself enough room to sit up or kneel.

Stability. Beds aren’t just for sleeping, and even if your loft isn’t seeing any intense action, it’s still going to need to stand up to your climbing on and off of it. Spending an extra $20 or so might be worth it ensure you get a top-quality loft.

The Sub-loft.
What are you going to put beneath your loft? Some people like to place a desk or other workspace component below their bed, but you could also turn this area into a lounge with a couch and a television, or a place to get dressed in the morning featuring a dresser and mirror.
