Drawer divan beds

Ellianne --

I have a platform valance to match my bedding because the cat has scratched all the fabric off the drawers. No frills though, a box pleat at each corner.

I don't have divans hence no need for frocks.
I like to be able to Hoover under the beds.

Only bed in this house that has a valance on it is the one where I got rid of the children's underbed that was no longer required, gave it a new mattress, and now store all my Christmas wrapping paper underneath. It is now a pretty-ish storage space and the kids/grandkids use it as a day bed, lazy irks

Annep1 I was pondering on getting a new bed and looked at one of those lift-up base divans in M&S. I didn't realise it was spring-loaded and it nearly catapulted me over the bed and into the saucepans, china and cutlery of the next department!

Oh goodness Suedonim how funny! Ours isn't as strong as that.

Or maybe the heavy mattress slows it down.

I cover my drawer divan with a fitted valance, not a gathered one. The drawers have brass handles!
