When we moved into our new flat in September, we all had pokey, springy, achy mattresses. After a bit of bartering with the landlord we managed to bag ourselves new ones but failed to chuck out the old ones. Being students, friends have been staying over and having a spare mattress on the living room floor was actually pretty handy! I’ve always liked the idea of having a low bed in my room and really like the idea of making a bed frame out of recycled wooden pallets like these…
… and rather than having a bed side lamp, lights or candles could go beneath the crates to have the light spilling out of the sides!

The Whimsical Way 
I love these kinds of beds. so simply but such a nice look! I definitely like the space with the exposed brick walls. I definitely want to do this in my apartment
