Bedroom Furniture – the Different Types of Beds Available


Bedroom Furniture


Bedroom furniture has no limits today with the countless high street stores selling a mass selection of styles and designs. Having chosen your bedroom furniture you also have the options of how you would like to decorate and dress your bedroom. The option of how to style your bedroom and your bedroom furniture is virtually endless.

The main part of your bedroom which usually takes up the most space is your bed. There are several different types of beds available so you can choose the right bed to fit with the furniture you already have or if you are buying everything from new you’ll need to consider the different styles.

Here is a sample of the different types of beds you can choose from and a little more about them.

Divan Beds – are very simple in design and are usually the lowest costing bed you can find for your bedroom. They consist of a box base and the mattress lies on top of the box. Divan beds come available with the choice of draws within the box base; you can have 1 or 2 drawers either side depending on your preference. This style of bed base is great for couples with kids as there is nothing for the child to hurt themselves on which may be the case with a metal frame for example.

Leather Beds – these are quite stylish in appearance where the headboard and base of the bed are covered in leather and the mattress fits inside. These are great for that modern looking bedroom for example you can dress the rest of the bedroom in blacks and browns for a warm and contemporary touch. One downside to these types of beds is that there is not normally, or any at all, room to store anything underneath. 

Metal Beds – Metal bed frames are great to give the illusion of more space, a more ‘boxey’ type of bed frame such as the divan or leather frames need to be placed in larger sized bedrooms, if space is an issue for your bedroom choose a metal frame and it wont seem to take up as much room. These types of bed frames give lots of room underneath for storage, which if space is limited is even better.

Bunk Beds – these are great in childrens bedrooms as it gives the opportunity for two children to sleep in the room but it only takes up the space of one bed because they are on top of each other. You can find bunk beds in all different styles such as blue for boys or maybe a princess theme for girls.

When it comes to choosing your bed think about the style you are wanting to create for your bedroom, and also think about the practicalities such as how big your room is and what will look better with the furniture and wall colour you already have.
