Bed Styles
When it comes to decorating your bedroom the main focus should be the bed. This is obvious because one of the most important things you do in your room is sleep and relax. So naturally you want to choose carefully what furniture and bed goes into it. There are several different styles to choose from.
- Daybed. Daybeds are twin beds. What makes them special is that they can double as couches if you position them against a wall. Being compact and versatile, daybeds are great for small spaces.
- Platform. Platform beds are elegantly simple, fitting in with just about any style of decor.
- Sleigh bed. Sleigh beds have curved headboards and foot boards that look like, well…a sleigh. There are simpler and more modern sleigh bed designs, so you can get one even if you are going for a more modern-looking room.
- Four post bed. You know this bed already: it’s the one with a post sticking up out of each corner. The posts can support a canopy, but the canopy is optional.
- Pencil post bed. Pencil post beds are like four-post beds, only the posts are tall and tapered like…well, pencils. Harking back to their heyday in the 1700s, pencil-post beds fit a room with colonial furnishings especially well.
