I turned a metal platform bed into a very high platform bed for my son in a room with very high ceilings

Screwed the bed frame to the wall in the corner above the door (so two sides where fixed to the wall)

Cut a leg up and dropped one leg into the cut off part of another to get a very long leg in the corner away from the two sides screwed to the wall .
So the bed was above door height and he had all his floor space clear.
