FLOOR , WALL AND CEILING TIMBER BED
A wooden canopy for a ceiling in this low-rise bed adds the richness of wood to the room – and the continuity ( see below ). The floor becomes the wall becomes the ceiling . And note the built-in recess ! This is one captivating bedroom design idea by Site ID ( Site Interior Design of Cape Town , South Africa a division of Greg Wright Architects ) was asked to put the room together and by using custom furniture , they have created a true master bedroom . Of course , the bed is the absolute star of the room . Sitting the bed in its own little nook was a brilliant stroke of design . The wall portion of the nook allows for a custom bookshelf . And the ceiling holds the pendant lamp , right where you need it for reading in bed . The beautiful thick plank ( almost beam ) construction ties in perfectly with the wooden walls . The parquet floors echo the natural theme , but gives a bit of variety . And the drapes and bedding are complementary neutrals to show off the timber ( all of which was taken from sustainable forest sources ). Plenty of natural light adds the finishing touches . This winning combination of neutral and natural creates a fantastic place to lay your head .

WOODEN BEDROOM DIVIDER SCREEN
Quite an unusual idea – a room divider becomes an inconspicuous part of the cabinet when closed . The vertical wood grain of the cabinet plays perfectly against the horizontal grain of the floor . And using pale wood adds to the airy feeling of this high-ceiling open bedroom . Designed by Ukraine company Ryntovt .
