FLOOR, WALL AND CEILING TIMBER BED
A wooden canopy for a ceiling in this low-rise bed adds the richness of wood to the room – and the continuity( see below). The floor becomes the wall becomes the ceiling. And note the built-in recess! This is one captivating bedroom design idea by Site ID( Site Interior Design of Cape Town, South Africa a division of Greg Wright Architects) was asked to put the room together and by using custom furniture, they have created a true master bedroom. Of course, the bed is the absolute star of the room. Sitting the bed in its own little nook was a brilliant stroke of design. The wall portion of the nook allows for a custom bookshelf. And the ceiling holds the pendant lamp, right where you need it for reading in bed. The beautiful thick plank( almost beam) construction ties in perfectly with the wooden walls. The parquet floors echo the natural theme, but gives a bit of variety. And the drapes and bedding are complementary neutrals to show off the timber( all of which was taken from sustainable forest sources). Plenty of natural light adds the finishing touches. This winning combination of neutral and natural creates a fantastic place to lay your head.

WOODEN BEDROOM DIVIDER SCREEN
Quite an unusual idea – a room divider becomes an inconspicuous part of the cabinet when closed. The vertical wood grain of the cabinet plays perfectly against the horizontal grain of the floor. And using pale wood adds to the airy feeling of this high-ceiling open bedroom. Designed by Ukraine company Ryntovt.
