Picking the right type of bed for your room can set the tone for your
entire space. Not only does should it provide comfort, it can also
reflect your personality.
Here are the types of bed you may want to consider:
1. Canopy
Add
some old world appeal to your little princess’s room with slender posts
that are typically draped with fabric. Lean towards lightweight
canvases or sheer gauzes for a tropical, beach-inspired theme.
2. Day Bed
Great
for cramped spaces, this frame, which typically fits a single or a
twin-sized mattress, can be converted into a makeshift sofa during the
day. Simply add throw pillows and a pretty duvet.
3. Four-Poster
Regal,
stately and impressive, a four-poster bed is a classic that never goes
out of style. This piece works well in large bedrooms with high
ceilings—surrounding it with ample space allows the piece to breathe,
whether it’s faceted with traditional filigree or is done up in
straightforward, minimal lines.
4. Futon
Originally
form Japan, futons are easy-to-fold quilts, mattresses or padding that
can be laid out on the floor. The Western use of futon refers to a
chair or couch that can be transformed and folded out into a bed,
usually for visitors or houseguests.
5. Murphy
Extremely
cramped spaces can benefit from a Murphy Bed—that is, a bed that is
hidden as part of a wall and is folded or pulled down when needed. This
type of bed definitely frees up space but can be tedious to maintain,
especially when all you want to do is lie down after a long, busy day!
6. Platform
Those
preferring a sleek, modern look often opt for a platform bed, which
sits low on the floor and is a breeze to climb in and out of. Whether
done up with a headboard or subtly plain, this style works well in a
myriad of themes and palettes.
7. Sleigh
Resembling
Santa’s sled, this classic piece is feminine and elegant, with a high,
curved end and a graceful headboard—perfect for a modern boudoir or a
country guesthouse, elegant sleigh beds are often tufted and
upholstered.
8. Upholstered
If you
fancy rich textures that make your bed more inviting, or find patterns
in different palettes irresistible, then opt for a bed that is covered
in upholstery. Not as flexible as their more minimal counterparts,
these beds (especially when covered in eye-catching prints) make a bold
statement in any room.
