  • FAQ:
    ► Where is Part 2?
    Unfortunately, there won't be a part 2 Sorry! I moved from that house a few months after making that video, BUT if you would like to see more DIY's then let me know in the comments!
    ► I don't think the bed will hold my weight...
    DISCLAIMER!
    I've had the bed for a bit over 3 months & it was still standing so very strong! IF YOU ARE WORRIED ABOUT IT NOT SUPPORTING YOUR OWN WEIGHT... Apply some extra supports with hardwood or something of that nature.. like with any DIY you need to adjust certain things to suit your own needs!
    ► Can you have 'special cuddles' (or do any vigorous activities) on the bed?
    Sure! If you believe you have built the bed sturdy enough as well as re-enforcing the structure. But proceed with caution.
    ► What size is your bed?
    It's a double bed and I believe elsewhere in the world it is known as a 'full-sized bed'.
    ► How do you get up onto the bed?
    I simply threw one leg over the other.. but you could use a small step, EASY! It's really not THAT ridiculously high.
    ► You put the bed in the wardrobe, why? And where do you put your clothes?
    I put the bed inside the wardrobe frame so I could:
    1. Have a view outside my window.
    2. Have natural lighting flow through my room easily.
    3. Feel like I was in a little hiding spot.
    I then bought a free-standing wardrobe and used that in the corner of my room to store my clothes as well as using the boxes in the book unit/bed.
    ► What if you fall off the bed?
    Ouch, that would hurt.
    Hey guys! Welcome to my DIY bedroom makeover.
    This video is all about me making my raised platform bed using IKEA shelving units, as well as a simple DIY wooden shelf and draping around the bed head :) Hope this gives you some inspiration to do some sort of DIY/Makeover in your own bedroom.

      I'm curious to know why did you use 2 "four box cubes" for the back wall instead of using another "eight box cube"? I'm asking because I want to try this but if I can buy 3 units instead of 4 it will make life much easier lol.

    I had the exact same white utility shelf seen in the beginning, I turned it into a storage bed by laying it horizontal, add board and legs underneath and flip open doors on top. I used two units to build a queen bed leaving some spacing in between.

Can you please tell me how far in did you attach the other end. I see on the video that it is not flush with the shelf. Thank you

      @@sarahharris5478 difference with standing on them and putting a bed on them is that the weight is spread between all the supports and not focused on just one. Which makes it effectively "lighter" (like holding something in one hand vs two)

    I've been meaning to fix up my bed (it was bought used for my brother (not the mattress!) then it was thrown in my room when he moved out) and it's a really brown...but I think I'm going to do this instead!!!! It came out so beautiful! I'd probably use the platform thing from my old bed tho...since I am on the heavy side, and I do tend to move around a lot....and I'll probably create alittle hammock thing for my cat using the platform thing from my bed and a small weed section...jk on that...but it is perfect for alittle privacy omg I JUST LOVE THIS SO MUCH. kinda bummed I didn't think of that xD
