If you don't have the bed rails for this bed, how can I keep the mattress up? - I have a bed similar to this one but I lost the bed rails when I moved. It's obviously an antique so I'm wondering where I could find the rails. The connection to the head and foot boards are shaped kind of like a horseshoe. »

Lauren Gries Good question. For this bed we bought 2 x 4" boards (about 16 of them) and laid them horizontally across the bed frame. It worked surprisingly well.

Bed placement - Hello...wether small or large I often see the bed being placed directly at the window....it has to affect heating as, normally, there is a heating grate under the windows....should one move the grate?....please I'd like an explanation....thank you. »
· Comment · 13 months ago
Helene Thank you for your comments. Much appreciated. I was thinking that nowadays grates probably don't need to be installed directly unders windows. I'm renovating a small two-bedroom 1964 bungalow and one of the rooms could only accommodate a double bed under the window.

feeny We have a tiny bedroom with windows on two walls. The room really only fits a single bed, but we put an antique double bed (with headboard and footboard) in the corner so that it is perched in and between both windows. This placement makes the bed feel almost like a built in window seat or cozy bower when you are inside. Our son loves it. Plus it gets great cross drafts in summer.

Hi - I love this nightstand - where did you find it? »
· Comment · 17 months ago
Lauren Gries Yes, Craigslist, Etsy, Flea Markets, Thrift Stores - I'm always searching. This night stand I believe came from an antique store. My mother gifted it to me.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
added by Rebekah Zaveloff to Big Style for Small Bedrooms
If you have room for just one side table, push the bed up against the wall and add a clip lamp to the headboard, but use the same tricks as shown in the previous picture. Run the window panels to the ceiling to accentuate the ceiling height, add a roman shade for privacy and texture, and add artwork to fill in the space to the right of the panels so that the back wall is filled visually. This cozy little room is big on style.
Be creative with placement. In a perfect world, you'd never have to block a window or obstruct a pathway with furniture. But in small rooms, sometimes you need to break the rules. These homeowners managed to squeeze a full-size bed into this narrow bedroom by backing it against the window. By keeping the headboard light and open, they've allowed as much sunlight to penetrate as possible.
5. Layered window treatments. To dress your windows really warmly, bundle them up in insulating shades (or cellular shades) with curtains hung on top. This elegant look makes any room feel more finished and will keep your house warmer.
I'm a single woman in my 30s. I read design blogs and fashion mags and enjoy some weekend DIY. I have one cat, and I recently joined OkCupid.
