If you want to play up your platform bed, there's a lot of possibilities you can explore. You can make it look classic with an intricately sculptured side table, for example, and some fair red curtains with gold yellow trimmings. Or you can simply get a color-crazed comforter and put in lots of throw pillows you want. The colors don't even have to be close to each other as long as they look good as one. Usually, a solid wood platform bed is enough to provide the base that pulls everything together so you won't really have to worry about the overall look.
