This is my idea of the perfect bed.
The frame of the mattress is on a suspension system that lifts easily -- just hit the release button and it pops up with a light tug-- very ingeniously designed. The frame is separate from the head-board. Also, the enclosed space stays clean, unlike underneath a bed. Made in Italy by Flou

5 Interior Design Blogs We Couldn't Live Without This cleanly designed and beautifully photographed blog is the creation of a generous interior designer. Vancouver based Patricia Gray shares her keen eye for style, takes us on trips around the world and points out the resources and materials that she enjoys using on a job. The later is particularly useful for interior designers. It's great to see a master designer work, to look at her resources as they appear in finished spaces, and get an analysis of why and how they function beautifully. You also get the bonus of a well-trained feng shui expert, layered on top of this interior designer, and you can better understand why Patricia's interiors exude calm, serenity, and strong flow.
Patricia Gray is an interior designer par excellence with a pedigree that would wow anyone. Her innovative design work has been featured all over the world, and in many different publications (including the renowned Architectural Digest).

Patricia, you give us aspects of the world that we might never see; ideas to inspire us, pictures that move us emotionally, a view to a kinder, more artistic world that lies within our reach. This must take time and energy, and I am most thankful for your blog. J Marie Goodwin Vancouver

Certainly the perfect bed for a small space! Love the tufted headboard on this one!
ReplyDeleteAnything by Flou excites me!
ReplyDeleteThe padding would absorb sound as well.
I'm going to their website now.
I saw this bed before and always wondered since the headboard is separate how comfortable would it be to rest your head on it.But I love the design.
ReplyDeleteI love Flou. They are aesthetically pleasing, comfortable and so well made. I love the model you chose.
ReplyDeletewhen ever i stay in paris, i rent an apartment, the beds always are with storage under the mattress-on suspension.
ReplyDeletei think they are fab.
now, i have plenty of room where i live, but how is it that i have out-grown my space and need more.
the storage under the mattress would frre up my linen closet.

as if the head board will fowl ... not so convincing . but good looking for sure !
ReplyDeletePatricia, I have admired these Flou beds for a long time and am totally with you! They are so practical, beautiful and comfy. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteAh! when you talk about Italy...here I am, eager to share my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteI do in fact also own a Flou Bed, bought when I moved from a huge house with a king size bed to a studio apartment with a double bed.
It is extremely comfortable, elegant and...serve as a storage.
Flou engages the greatest designers like Rodolfo Dordoni who designs for Cassina, Moroso, Cappellini between others and used the iconic designer Vico Magistretti, whose work can be seen also at the MoMa.
Many imitations of Flou but only one Flou!
These beds are fantastic - recently saw one (of perhaps a different make) in real life at Scan Designs and thought it was the bees-knees! Whether you're using the under-bed space for linens, or for out of season clothing, the space is useful regardless of your home's size.
ReplyDeletePatricia - thanks for visiting our blog and for your positive comment about Kate's kitchen. Unfortunately we may not be able to use those great stools in the space because she doesn't have a bar area... but I have an idea up my sleave that I'm going to throw past her tomorrow that could mean she could keep them around! We'll see...
Cheers,

That is insanely smart! And my god, the headboard is the most fabulous thing I've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteI love that you bring us fabulous designs that I might otherwise not discover...great find!

After reading your blog, I went to your web site. Love your portfolio. You are an artist.
ReplyDeleteHi Patricia,
ReplyDeleteI do agree on your mission statement...100%.
The massive headboard is so amazing!! I would love to cuddle up in that bed.
ReplyDeleteWow .. my bed has the same white panelled headboard..but lacks this very useful storage! love it
ReplyDeleteThat's super! You never can get enough storage space. At least me anyway.
