Check out these 9 WEIRD designer beds Going to sleep has never been so strange.
Industrial strength magnets power this magnetic floating bed by designer Janjaap Ruijssenaars. It is held in its position by 4 wires attached the floor. This standing bed is perfect for those days when you want to feel like a marshmallow. The Quantum Sleeper, price tag: $160,000. Why the price?

6 features no renovated kitchen should be without Do it right or go home.
When you renovate a kitchen, you need to be as concerned about the details as you are about the big picture. It’s all well and good knocking through a wall to connect the kitchen with a living or dining room, but if (for example) the wall colour doesn’t complement the countertops then it may end up looking a bit amateurish. It’s not just about the aesthetics, either – there are certain details that need to be got right in order to ensure that the room is functional as well.

I was also extremely curious to discover how this show would differ from a consumer show such as Grand Designs Live or Ideal Home Exhibition. The first difference you notice about this event is the scale, thankfully the layout was clear and…
