DINKWAD life in our cozy 4-room BTO
Welcome to Our Bedroom: NO ❌ bedframe, YES ✅ to cosy and great sleep

Welcome back to our home and more specifically, our bedroom! As we get older, we realise the importance of quality sleep so our bedroom is set up for the ultimate cosy vibes to wind down for the night. Inspired by the low profile beds from our trip to Japan, we decided not to get a bed frame but instead got our ID to build a platform bed for us. The laminates for our platform are the same as our kitchen carpentry - a dark wood colour to create the cosy feels. 
Having a platform bed takes up a lot of the floor space, so our ID also incorporated deep drawers under our bed which we use to store towels, bedsheets and with lots of spare room. We didn’t want to have to lift up our mattress to access the storage below so having drawers was a good alternative for us! 
Another feature of our platform bed is the in-built headboard which is flush with the platform and made of the same laminate. There’s an LED strip at the back of the headboard too, which provides soft ambient lighting in the evenings. 
Our ID also sourced this travertine-like bedside lamp for both sides of the bed, with the textures blending in well with the rest of the bedroom. 
In the name of quality sleep, we decided to invest in a Sealy Posturepedic mattress and bedsheets from Heveya — this super combo has given us some of the best sleep we’ve ever had. 
At the other end of our platform is a built-in countertop which doubles up as our vanity / display space / more storage. It’s super convenient to sit in front of our wedding mirror decor to put on make up and get ready. 
We also put some decor to soften the space like our Starry Starry Night Lego set and some flowers. 
Right next to our bed is an L-shaped floor-to-ceiling wardrobe which gives us enough space for all our clothes. 
We’ve also placed a full-length mirror at the end of the wardrobe so that it looks less imposing, and also visually lengthens our home as you can also see the mirror from the living room. that’s it for our simple but cosy bedroom! See you soon in the next post :-)
