Low bed ideas

While low beds are famously associated with Japanese design, they're beginning to catch on in modern design circles - and for those whose knees can handle them, low beds have several benefits.
Some small bedrooms can gain a sense of spaciousness from a low-profile look. And if storage isn't a concern, removing empty space means one less place for dust to settle. Check out the inspirational beds below for even more reasons to consider going low!


Let’s start with something dramatic! Sunken beds require some pretty serious architectural alterations but the end result is so dreamy. The pup would love how easy it is to crawl into bed for morning snuggles.


In bedrooms that feature large format artwork, a low bed stays out of the way. But this one still makes a subtle but tasteful impression with the luxurious layering of dark wood and plush fabric.


This bedroom definitely does a great job managing visual weight. The blue wall and wrap-around beams help the low bed feel perfectly proportioned to the room.


Lighting works its magic on the interesting typographical installation behind this bed as well. This is one of the lower beds highlighted so far, practically fully flush with the floor itself.


Here’s another low bed, this time in an even taller room, using a large form print instead of a headboard to draw the eye toward a central point. The oversized pendant light fills in even more of the negative space above.


Another super-sleek space, this time with a platform that serves as an extended side table.


Can you imagine rolling out of bed and straight into a warm bath? Low-profile furniture doesn’t have to look casual, as this ultra-luxury bedroom demonstrates.


A wooden platform with a brick and chain link headboard make for a very cool industrial bedroom theme. It’s not too rugged, but just perfect for a relaxing space that has a touch of attitude.


This low bed looks even lower thanks to its wooden housing. The distinctive lip around the edge prevents it from looking like just another bed frame.


Although the floor plan is actually very spacious, its width would seem more restricted if the large bed were taller. Sometimes a low-profile bed can make a room feel larger in unexpected ways.
