Your dream bed awaits

Looking for the ultimate bed to dive into at the end of a long day? Whether you’re a sleep enthusiast or just want to upgrade your bedroom, finding the right bed frame can make all the difference. Let's explore how the right bed can transform your sleep and add a touch of style to your bedroom.

Make your bedroom the comfiest spot in the house

Got a flair for design or just love a good night's sleep? A new bed frame might be just what you need to add a bit of style and comfort to your bedroom. Let’s explore why these essential pieces of furniture are more than just a place to sleep and how they can transform your bedroom into a cosy retreat.

The different beds

Bed frames come in all shapes and sizes, each serving unique purposes and adding different aesthetic and functional elements to your bedroom. Here’s a breakdown of each.

Single bed

Single beds are great for smaller rooms or for those who sleep solo. They save space while providing enough room to stretch out and relax. Ideal for kids, teens or guest rooms, single beds can be both practical and stylish. Pair them with a comfy mattress, and you’ve got a recipe for sweet dreams.

Double bed

Double beds are the go-to for couples or those who enjoy extra space. They offer plenty of room without overwhelming a medium-sized room. Great for spreading out, these beds can accommodate two people comfortably. Dress them up with your favourite bedding, and they become the centrepiece of your bedroom.

Slated base bed

Slated base beds are designed for those who appreciate extra support and ventilation for their mattress. The slats allow for airflow, keeping your mattress fresh and providing a sturdy base for a great night's sleep. Available in both single and double sizes, they combine functionality with style, making them a smart choice for any bedroom.

Finding your dream bed frame

Choosing a bed frame might seem like a simple task, but there’s so many options out there that it can quickly become overwhelming. Fear not. Here are five fun, down-to-earth tips to help you find the ideal bed frame for your bedroom.

1. Figure out your needs

Before diving into the sea of bed frames, take a moment to consider what you really need. Are you furnishing a cosy guest room or creating your own personal sleep haven? Single beds are, as mentioned, great for kids or small spaces, while double beds offer extra room for spreading out.

2. Measure up your space

Imagine falling in love with a bed frame, only to find out it doesn’t fit in your room.  Nightmare. Avoid this by measuring your space first to find the right bed size. 

• Room size: Measure the length, width and height of your room. Think about how much space you want around your bed for other furniture and movement.

• Placement: Decide where the bed will go. Consider windows, doors and other furniture to ensure a harmonious layout.

3. Consider the climate

Believe it or not, the weather can influence your bed frame choice. Live in a humid area? Metal frames are durable but might need a bit of rust protection. Wooden frames? Lovely and sturdy, but they might need regular sealing. And if you’re after a cool, airy sleep, slated base beds are a winner with their fantastic ventilation.

4. Think about maintenance

Let’s be honest – nobody loves chores. So, consider how much maintenance you’re up for. As previously said, metal frames can be a breeze with the occasional rust-resistant paint touch-up. Wooden frames might need a bit more love with staining or sealing every few years. Choose a bed frame that matches your willingness to roll up your sleeves.

5. Match your style

Your bed frame should scream “you”. Whether you’re into rustic charm or sleek modern lines, pick a style that reflects your personality. Wooden frames add warmth and are great for traditional settings. Metal frames can give a modern, industrial vibe. Don’t forget about customisation – headboards, footboards, even built-in storage. Make it yours.

Tips for styling your new bed

Styling your new bed is all about layering and personal touches. Start with a a good mattress for comfort. Choose sheets in neutral colours or subtle patterns for a versatile base. Add a duvet or comforter that complements your room’s colour scheme. Layer on texture with throws or blankets at the foot of the bed for extra warmth and style. Pile on pillows in various sizes and shapes – mix solid colours with patterns to add interest. Don’t forget decorative cushions for a pop of personality.

If your bed frame doesn’t come with it, consider a headboard that suits your style. Whether it’s upholstered for a plush look or wooden for a rustic feel. Add a bed skirt if you like a more finished look, and hide under-bed storage. Finally, incorporate bedside tables with lamps or accessories that reflect your taste. Your bed is now a stylish focal point of your bedroom.

How to maintain your bed frames

Caring for bed frames involves routine maintenance to ensure their longevity and aesthetic appeal. Start by regularly inspecting for signs of wear or damage, such as rust on metal or cracks in wood. Clean them periodically to remove dust and dirt.

For wooden frames, apply a protective sealant every few years to guard against weather damage. For metal, treat with rust-resistant paint as needed. Ensure all bolts and screws are tightened and replace any that are worn or corroded. With proper care, your bed frame will remain beautiful and functional for years.

Beyond the beautiful bed frame

When considering enhancements for your bedroom beyond the addition of a bed, you can incorporate various features and bedroom furniture to elevate the beauty and functionality of your space. Here’s some great bedroom accessories that can complement your bed frame.

Complementary bedding

Enhance the look of your bed frame with bedding that accentuates its design and heightens its comfort. Integrate layers of sheets, duvets and pillows that will create a cosy and inviting bed. Choose colours and patterns that reflect your personal style.

Rugs and flooring

Create a warm and inviting atmosphere by adding rugs or carpets that match the style of your bed frame. Use soft textures and warm colours to make the room feel cosier. Rugs can also add a pop of colour or pattern to an otherwise neutral room.

Lighting

Proper lighting can enhance the ambience of your bedroom and highlight the features of your bed frame. Consider bedside lamps, fairy lights or even a statement chandelier to add a touch of elegance and warmth to your space.

Storage solutions

Turn your bedroom into an organised haven with smart storage solutions. Opt for storage beds with built-in drawers, or pair your frame with under-bed storage boxes. This helps keep your space tidy and maximises your storage options.
