We all have that one room that needs a wood platform bed. Why not make this amazing mid century but modern looking diy king size platform bed frame. Prop the frame assembly up 1 inches from the ground. Measure the distance between the bed frame sides in this case 6 5 and cut seven 2x4s to this length.

Install the two plywood ledger strips even with the bottom of the bed frame sides. Finally we did it. Attach support blocks to the head and foot rails and add support beams to the bed. Apart from providing a solid foundation a wooden bed frame is a valuable addition to your bedroom décor.

This simple diy wood bed frame is inspired by some of the 1000 2000 beautiful wooden bed frame and platform bed designs we love. You can use scrap pieces of lumber or 2 x 4 inch and 1 x 4 inch boards.

Use wood glue and install 1 1 4 screws 6 on center through the face of the ledger into the side panel.
