Since ancient times, using an alcove for sleeping quarters has saved bedroom floor space and provided a cozy niche for peaceful slumbers. The ancient Pompeiians constructed alcove beds in rooms that flanked their gardens. Europeans used them extensively in small homes and in servants’ quarters, and immigrants carried the design to the American colonies.
