Contemporary residences and villas are all about offering a perfect view of the world outside. Most modern home owners and architects are spending a whole lot of effort and dough on getting the best possible view. Floating beds bring the additional advantage of being able to give those within a 360-degree view as they can be pretty much placed anywhere in the room. While traditional bed designs are often relegated to one of the walls or corner, you can position your exquisite floating bed right in the middle of your stunning bedroom surrounded by floor-to-ceiling glass windows.
