In a well-designed home, the bedroom is a sanctuary of escapism — and built-in beds are one of interior designers' current favorite ways of elevating a scheme. "When you tailor joinery to a room’s proportions, it creates a sense of cohesion and intention that free-standing furniture seldom achieves," says Louis Hagen Hall, the director of London-based Studio Hagen Hall. "The result feels immersive, grounded, and often luxurious, like the refined comfort you get in the best hotel suites. It’s about creating a space that feels designed, rather than decorated."
Using joinery within the design of a bedroom can also help to zone it away from other areas, enhancing a sense of calm and relaxation. Be it a platform bed or a split-level design that allows you to site your sleeping area within an unconventional position, thinking outside the box and employing joinery can help if you’re dealing with a tricky spatial layout in a bedroom. For small apartments and studios, tricks such as these can be particularly helpful to create a dividing point between the bedroom area and the rest of the space, and it's definitely one of this year's biggest bedroom trends.
