I wanted a hanging canopy bed. But I saw this and fell in love. I just came back to the video to send it to a friend and got sucked in watching it again. 🤦🏽♀️🥴😅 such great construction and detailed notes. I’m such a nerd. 🙃🤦🏽♀️
I don’t understand how you don’t have 1 million subscribers based off of this video alone!!!! I want this canopy bed so bad!!!! This was pure perfection!!!!!!
Aye that's my dream! haha.. Maybe one day I'll be there. I've been entertaining the idea of selling the bed online made to order but it'll be expensive AF because of all the time and materials and the cost to ship about 600 pounds lol. Thanks again!
Professional quality work here and I don't just mean the canopy, this video is perfection I can't wait for what you do next I see this channel growing
Thank you!.. for taking the time to watch the video and the amazing compliments- it means a lot. I see that you might do film? I’d love to see some of your work as well! Take care
This is extremely impressive. Too complicated for me to try to replicate but inspiring! I'm thinking of adopting a few of these design ideas for the canopy 'bed' I am making - there will be a real, store-bought bed in the middle of a bespoke black painted frame surround, so it's not really a 'bed' more of a 'bed surround'! I would never have thought the scaffolding would look so good though not my aesthetic - it looks amazing!
I thought you were making a bedframe for a red room. I mean, that bed would be the perfect bedframe to use if one was making a red room. The frame came out amazing, you def had a vision and you executed it flawlessly!! Love it
I wasn’t sure what a red room was until your comment lol! I had to Google it 🤣
Thanks so much for the compliments (and teaching me something new haha).
Omg 🤣 jajajajaja
Ich liebe es, wenn Leute Eier haben, ihre Desingideen umzusetzen, sich aber erstmal vernünftige Pläne machen und danach methodisch mit vernünftigen Werkzeugen arbeiten.
Das führt zu kompromisslosen, hervorragenden Ergrbnissen, wie man in diesem Kanal sieht.
Weiter So! Sie sind genial!
"Danke für die Ermutigung! Es ist toll zu hören, dass das Eingehen von Risiken mit großen Ideen und sorgfältige Planung geschätzt wird. Wenn Sie Ideen oder Wünsche für zukünftige Projekte haben, würde ich sie gerne hören!"
Dude. Everything about this is insane. The design, the build, the detail, the video editing. Well done brother.
Thanks a ton, brother! Means a lot coming from you 🤘
So the black ceiling seriously has inspired me to do the same especially when you add the lighting it really is a nice touch! I just got a low profile bed but no head board though so looking to add something unique to make it stand out more! Why is cutting wood so therapeutic lol loving this and your attention to detail/technique or maybe it’s your voice lol either way def a vibe😉 ❤
I'm so obsessed. This is stunning work!
Thanks so much Chelsea! Designing work that people are obsessed with, ya… doesn’t get better than that haha
Everything looks perfectly!!!
Thank you Highlander!
You are extremely talented. Not only with this project, but the video quality. Highly impressed.
Thank so much, that means a lot. I aspire to one day do this for a living and replace my 9-5… so your comment gives me hope. Thanks for watching
Absolutely love how you put all that hard work and accomplished an absolute aesthetic and more masculine bedroom look. Amazing
Thanks so much Yamili ☺️ It was a lot of work and felt challenging at times with so many unknowns doing it all for the first time… but the payoff of the aesthetic/being able to live in the space and to be able to share my art with you all, is everything. Hearing how it inspires others just makes it that much better. Take care :)
This is awesome, I really like the cyberpunk Victorian feel of the build. Great work 👍🏼🤘🏼
Much appreciated dude! Thanks for watching \m/
Wow!! Fantastic!! Thanks for sharing all the details! Amazing you put it together by yourself!
Thank you! Cheers!
WOW!!! I am totally impressed! What a fantastic job..😍You have mad skills in your abilities to build and video your talents..🙌
Ayyye thanks so much- I really appreciate you stopping by to watch and drop some compliments. Working on some new ideas... stay tuned!
Thank you soooooo much for sharing ALL the tools you used. I'm a gitl, but love power tools and building!!! You're awesome. Thank you!!
Thanks so much for watching and the compliments!
You have some serious skills my friend. Not only do you have the vision to see what you want ahead of time you have the woodworking skills as well. Some very cool ideas in this video. I love that brick! New subscriber and can't wait to see more of your videos.
Thanks for the sub and the awesome compliment. I'm by no means a pro at woodworking, although I am comfortable around tools (been repairing my own cars since I was a teenager). DIY interior/furniture is something I've only been doing for about 3 years, so I have a lot more to learn! Happy that I can share my process of designing and learning along the way.
Thanks again for watching and stopping by to share your feedback :)
That looks awesome 😎
I appreciate that, Cameron! Thanks for watching
Just stunning 🤩 exceptional woodworking skills love how meticulous your work is 👏🏻
Thank you very much!
Excellent video as well as the workmanship.
Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to provide some positive feedback 🖤
This is really amazing! I dont have half the talent to make this things but this is still so interesting to watch. ❤️
Thanks so much for stopping by to watch and for the compliments!
Absolutely manly and stunning.and soooo inspirintion . Thanks
Thanks a ton dude!
Looks sick! 🙌 Love the snare patents too.👌
Thanks for watching and appreciating the aesthetic!
Emil, the attention to detail, creativity and overall bad ass-ness lol of this bed and video production. Are you just this naturally gifted? Teach me your ways! And that black mug, why is no one talking about it haha, I love it. Very inspiring video. Great work man!
Ahh Jessica, those are amazing compliments! Thanks so much :) IDK if I've ever considered myself gifted lol... I just have innovation concepts in my head that I feel really driven and inspired to learn and create... and then feel excited to share with everyone so they too can explore the design/construction method.
LOL my ways might not seem as polished in person haha... maybe I can teach premium subscribers my approach to projects if I ever offer those kind of things here... First, I need a Patreon. I love how doing the filmmaking/video editing for a DIY project allows me to combine all aspects of art and design in one place...
BTW, I added a link in the video description for that black mug for you :p
@@SeizetheDIY You're the best! Thanks :) You're certainly on the right path, keep it up! 👍
@@JessicaMorera Thanks Jessica!
I need to make an adult loft bed for my small room and this has given me some solid inspiration, thanks.
Inspiration is a huge compliment! Thanks for watching! Best of luck on your work!
I just think I want one ❤️
This is beautiful!! 😍
Thanks so much!
Really sharp!!
Dude that turned out EPIC. love the industrial elements. very well thought out and built
Thanks a ton man! I’m coming over to your channel to check it out later today! Haha
@@SeizetheDIY awesome man. I haven't posted in a video in a while but am about to start a historic home remodels series. Might be worth subscribing to see lol
@@DuncanBuilds subbed!
Well done dude, you're going to have 100k subs in no time if you keep it up. Your editing skills are just as good as your fabrication and explanation skills.
Thanks so much for your encouragement and compliments! I hope to one day be where you think I can be! 🤘🏼
Give us the plans already so I can make a wish version of yours, lol. Exactly what we were looking for, hopefully you post soon 👍🏻
Haha I will soon! Sorry for the delay.
Good job with the cage. Admire the craftsmanship. And I can’t wait for those custom art patents to be available for sale.
Thanks so much! I will post the guitar patents prints soon! Just finishing up my Halloween videos first. Thanks for watching!
The patent art is available for order now on the site:

So awesome. Great build and edit man. Black looks so good!
Thanks a ton dude, I appreciate that! I was torn about the color but the room needed the black. I’d love to build another one with the natural wood tones that show off more of the black hardware.
@@SeizetheDIY agreed, thats the theme I want my house to have. Wood & black is so sexy!
@@thanktheknife I wish someone asked me to build another one in that style 🤣 I bet it would look amazing like you said! Let me know if you ever start one- I’d love to see it
This is incredible! Great job. Not only an awesome project that you did a great job with, but your video and editing skills are amazing. Keep up the good work!
Thank you, man! I just subbed your channel.
I’m continuing to try to learn new tools as my knowledge isn’t that expansive… I used to work on cars but that’s about it… that limited knowledge forces me to think about rudimentary ways of solving plans and design without professional level experience with things like planers etc… although one day I’d love to do that. With that said, it means a lot when someone like yourself with a high level of craftsmanship gives me a compliment, so thank you! 🤘🏼
@@SeizetheDIY I feel the same with your video and editing skills. I have subbed as well. Maybe we could do a collab project sometime because I love to learn new things and grow my skills as well.
Where do you live, dude?
I'm working on it!
Love it
🤘🏼 that’s great to hear! Let me know if you have any questions. One tip that’s different from the video is marking the holes on the beams by clamping them in place temporarily while the hardware is already bolted to the posts, rather than marking the beams while they’re on a work surface. It’ll probably result in a more accurate / tighter fit. Good luck!
This was exceptionally impressive Sir. Extremely skillful craftsmanship and impeccable detail in not just the construction, but the video also. Excellent watch. I don't DIY but i'm subscribing just for the content haha Very talented. This is the kind of work that people pay thousands for.
Wow. Such a cool compliment... I'm running out of words to say thank you to each of you in a meaningful way haha. I continue to feel humbled by all the positive feedback. Thanks for subb'ing! I'll have more content that expands DIY videos into other design fields like apparel and graphic design...
New subscriber. Looking to dive into the DIY world with the new coming year and recently purchased home. The brick accent wall in your master was killer but damn, this master bed build is absolutely insane! Looking forward to your future projects. Any chance of an illustrator tutorial vid for interior design beginners? Keep up the sick work.
Thanks for subbing and for the kudos! Sounds like you're in a similar scenario with your home... I appreciate the compliment on the brick accent wall- I think it's probably the most realistic and easily installed compared to real brick, but if I was going to do it again, I'd probably use the brick veneers on fiberglass sheets that they have now (link is in the vid description).
Glad you're liking the bed design/build- I'm pretty excited about how well it actually came out- I've never built anything at that scale before lol, but it gives me confidence to continue with bigger projects. I have a unique design for a home gym planned next.
As far as an Adobe Illustrator tutorial- I could do that... I am curious if there's a standard/better suited app for interior/furniture design out there though. I always see 'sketchup' being mentioned everywhere. I use Illustrator because it's the standard app for my career in graphic design, and found that I could translate some of the core technical capabilities (like vector art at 100% scale) to plans/blue prints. Vector art is the key foundational file type that links to all things in the production world, whether it's 3d renders, laser-cutting/cnc, water-jetting, 3d printing, engraving etc... so, regardless Illustrator is valuable as hell to know, depending on what you want t use it for. I use it for DIY to create visual mockups / plans but I've used it to create water-jetted metal brackets and decorative straps for wood, a guitar body, pendants for jewelry, hemtags for clothing, etc... in my opinion, it is what you make out of it and what you can envision. I don’t know anyone who uses it for DIY like I do, but I’m sure there’s some folks out there.
Let me know what you have in mind for an intro in the app- more fundamental understanding of how to use it, or applying a fundamental ability to use it to plans and visual mock-ups.
Thanks again
Awesome👍
Thanks!
Yoooooooo this is fuuuuuuuuhking BOMB AF 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Heyyy! Thanks for watching and the big ups- more to come!
Amazing
Thank you!
You're a freakin pro. Thank you for this video!!!
Thank you David! Glad my work looks pro- just a hobbiest though! Haha
@@SeizetheDIY I just finished building this entire project and it turned out great. It was exhausting because it is very heavy, but worth it. I plan on adding more beams to the end and putting a TV Mount on it since I have no wall on that side to mount a tv ;)
@@dsimms6 that’s great to hear! Hopefully there were a few tips in my video that helped… yeah, I guess I failed to mention that installing it by yourself is definitely a workout lol. By the time it’s completed, you definitely feel like you earned it.
Bad a**. Primo work on both the bed and the process. Man, I wish I had your skills!
Thanks so much!! I appreciate you stopping by the watch the video and drop some compliments
Badass bro
Thanks dude! I appreciate it!
Wel done nice and man like
Thanks ✌
Really great job! I like the black finish. I would have chosen a matte finish like the ceiling, but I really like the overall look of the bed. Looks really strong too.
Hey Stephen,
Thanks for the feedback! I really appreciate that. I too, love matte black and I actually painted the first coat matte, but it was so chalky that even touching it lightly with my hand left white scuff marks, so I had to go with Satin.
Thanks for watching... more to come!
This us sick
Thanks dude!
So I have no idea how to build a frame. But fell in love with this one. Anyway to get plans? And a list of what I’d need as well as where to find them? 😅
Thanks so much! Glad that I inspired you to try! I actually didn’t know how to build one either lol. I’ll have the plans up soon… just taking my time to add little details about hardware etc.
Hello my friend, absolutely amazing build! My wife came across this video and I looked at everyone's comments and your posts. I was wondering if you were able to complete the plans? I really appreciate your time and admire your attention to detail. Best wishes!
Hi! Thanks so much for the compliments on my bed design and build. I was about 3/4 of the way done with the plans and then realized that I would basically be selling builders a tutorial so that they could market and sell my design. I was asked to build the bed for a few other people and the profit there is much greater than offering plans for download. So, now I’m torn about which direction to take things… I’ve been considering starting an Etsy to take custom orders. What’s your thoughts on this?
Thanks again
Siiick.
Thnx!!
Holy crap, this smells like a summer project for me, if I can do it haha, also what do you use to create your digital plans like that?
Dude, let me know if you have any questions if you decide to build it!
I use Adobe Illustrator… there’s no special construction capabilities built-in but it can be used to draw lines and boxes etc perfectly to scale and then you can add color and texture if you know how to use the program for design. I just blend both ideas together, but you could literally just draw perfect lines without any color to make plain plans.
Awesome build! Can you share where I can download or buy the plans? Thanks!
Thanks so much! I'm considering selling the plans by creating a membership / subscription or Patreon for all my designs/plans. I'm not sure I'll sell one-off plans for the bed design because it could then be made and sold commercially, and that's something I'm considering doing myself. Taking custom orders for bespoke furniture.
I love a man that can DO things! So many useless betas out there these days......
Great tutorial! What’s the mattress size for this bed? How would the measurements diff for a 180x200cm bed?
HI! Thanks so much!
I'm considering starting a Patreon or subscription to support me, if I do that, I'll make all plans available with mattress specs and a formula to adjust to other bed frame sizes.
Would that interest you?
Any chance you could provide a list of the cool hardware anywhere you purchased it from.. also would you be open to sharing copies of your drawings. I appreciate your hard work and design features.
I have most hardware with links listed in the video description! Thanks for watching!
Nice and clean very masculine tho🤣do u have a box spring under the mattress or is the mattress just sitting on the wood?
Thank you! ☺️ There’s no box spring under the mattress because I built a platform underneath. I could be wrong, but I think all box springs do is provide a flat surface to hold a mattress because most bed frames don’t have a solid or complete-enough area between the frame.
17:24 elsword music xD
Awesome work man. Stupid question, what nightstands are those? :)
Thanks man! The nightstands were originally different- I stripped the lacquer off, stained them a new color to match my media console and changed all the hardware to contemporary black that echoes the lines in the bed.
I’ll see if I can find a link, but there’s a clip on my tiktok if you search for my channel name there
..excellent video very talented ,, question are you making these amazing, beautiful 4 posterbeds frames ( in different bed sizes)for sale with the put up instructions manuals , im in the u.s.a and im intrested..
Hello. Thanks so much for watching and for your kind words.
I’ve had a few requests and considered building bespoke versions of the bed made to order. I think the challenge is, assembly requires some knowledge and carpentry skills from the buyer, and freight would be expensive. I have considered assembling on-site for the buyer as well. The material costs to build aren’t too bad but the labor for me to build it would increase the total price tag to be somewhere around what a quality 4-poster king bed goes for. After googling it, 10-15k is what is market price is.
If that’s of interest for you, please email me: info@seizethediy.com
Thanks!
Do you have a box spring or just use the mattress on the slats? Trying to see where the height is coming from because the slats look so close to the floor?
Thanks for watching. As far as I know, a box spring only provides a large flat surface for the mattress to sit on because most bed frames are only a wireframe without any flat support. The frame I built has a platform with a large flat surface for the mattress, so no box frame is needed.
I have sleep apnea and I have to take meds to sleep. I wish I had a canopy bed to just block everything out so I could be in a closed in space
There is something about being in a semi enclosed structure that feels really comforting when sleeping. Hopefully it helps! Thanks for watching and take care ☺️
This is so cool! Thanks for sharing. What are the dimensions of the beams?
Thanks for your feedback! I'm considering which way is the best method for sharing plans/dimensions. I might make them available in the community area via download link or through my website.
@@SeizetheDIY Last question : how would you take down this bed if you were moving? Since all the pocket holes are sealed off
@@jean-manassepouabou4060 since I didn’t use any wood glue; all the trim, slats etc can be unscrewed and removed allowing access to the pocket hole screws again.

If I offered to build the bed custom to your mattress size on Etsy, would that be if interest? Or are you only interested in the plans?
Can you add link to post base saddle?
Just double checked- the link was already in the video description.

Hello! I'll be releasing the plans very soon and notifying everyone in the Community Tab area (if you're subscribed then you'll see it in your feed in the next few weeks)... I'm just trying to complete a new project for Halloween and then I'll post them! Thanks so much for watching and the compliment!
Do you sell any build plans?
People have been asking… I’ve been intending to finish them. I’ll post them as soon as they’re done. Thanks for your interest!
how much would you charge to build this exact bed frame
I've considered offering the bigger pieces that I design on Etsy as custom orders, but I think it could become too time consuming and prevent the free time to work on new videos/projects. So, I'm actually looking for furniture builders who I could subcontract the work to.
The answer to your question might be shocking since the cost savings in DIY work is mostly labor. If I were building a unique piece like this bed for sale, I would probably consider the common price for an equivalent canopy bed- ones built from solid wood in a similar style without any metal hardware, pipe accents, lighting, or dimmer cost around 3-5k.. so, you factor in all the additional features and it would probably be around 7-8k. There could be a way to shave cost for sales, but without knowing how much a subcontractor would charge, it's difficult to know. Ideally, I'd make the price as low as possible though.
Thanks for watching!
Ghaddang... That is sick. A F.
Thanks brother! \m/
Question so what was the total cost of this ?
Hello, please click on the video title to expand the full description- it gives you a quick total estimate without pipe accents or lights. It also provides links to most parts. Thanks for watching
Wie viel kostet es ist total ❤
Thanks!!!
please let me know if your willing to provide your plans and drawings for the frame. i would pay or donate to you. i have no desire to build commercially. Would just be a home project for my wife and myself

@@SeizetheDIY I understand your desire to make money on your idea and project. I would be willing to pay a reasonable amount for the specific plans for this specific project. I do believe that you deserve to be compensated for this project if that’s what you want, Sotheby’s balls in your court now.
I have no intention to build and sell your design. I would be proud to build a similar bed and let my family and friends know where I got the idea. Thank you again for your video. I will eventually figure out what I need and how to build a bed similar to yours with or without the plans and design drawings.
I again will proudly tell everyone where I got the idea. I am a retired guy who has no desire to go into business with your design. Again I applaud you on the awesome design. I applaud you on the awesome build. You have every right to be proud of that bed.
Thank you again
Is this a copy Katt video?
I’m not sure whether you’re asking if I copied this idea from somewhere else or if you can copy mine lol. I think if you watch the video, you’ll see how much brainstorming, inventing, planning, designing, building and troubleshooting I had to invest- so, no, definitely not a copy- I built this completely from my own plans and didn’t reference any existing ideas. Can you copy it? Sure thing! Lol most of the links to parts and tools are in the video description. Take care ☺️
