Are you tired of your plain old boring metal bed frame? If you’re on the prowl for a new look in your bedroom, make one of these beautiful beds the centerpiece to your bedroom furniture. Whether you lean toward contemporary or traditional style, or somewhere in the middle, a platform, sleigh, or canopy bed may be just what you’re looking for.
For those looking for some modern flair, a new platform bed is a stylish and inexpensive way to kick start your bedroom décor. Platform beds are often low profile and many exude an Asian-inspired aesthetic with clean lines and smooth, sleek finishes. The headboards of platform beds are much different than those of traditional and transitional beds. They are seldom ornately detailed and overbearingly bulky. Instead, they usually have an understated, slim design that melds effortlessly with the rest of the bed. Platform beds save money by not requiring a box spring. They instead use a series of slats that run across the width of the bed to support the mattress.
If you lean toward the more traditional styles, perhaps an exquisite new canopy bed is right for you. This classically inspired bed style was first used in Europe in the 15th century as a second line of defense against leaky thatch roofs. As time went on, they became more and more elaborate and decorative. Today’s styles vary from ornate to simple, and everything in between. Models are available that include a top enclosure and often feature beautiful fabrics and materials.
Those who want something in the middle, need look no further than a new sleigh bed. While early versions of this Empire period creation were overwrought with detail and design, modern day sleigh beds feature toned-down foot and headboards with less defined scrolls. Today’s sleigh beds are less sleigh and more bed, making them an ideal choice to match almost any bedroom décor.
