Sleigh Bed

Want bedroom furniture that is beautiful and unique and offered with romantic sounding names like Gramercy, Bordeaux and Murray Hill? Choose a sleigh bed and turn it into the centerpiece of the bedroom.

When it comes to choosing a bed frame, the first thing to decide on is the size. Standard choices include twin, full, queen, king and California king. Choose the size that fits the room, but keep in mind that the style of the bed will dictate the entire feel of the room. Some frames are hidden under the mattress while others, like a sleigh bed, highlight the frame and make it an important part of the design.

A low profile bed with a gently curving headboard reinvents a classic that is simple and clean while remaining distinctive. A warm wood tone frame can look inviting when matched to white bedding and two layers of fluffy pillows, but any color scheme can work equally well. A white frame can be a good choice for people who like to change the color scheme in a room often because it easily matches any other color.

A good mid-ground size, if the room can support it, is a queen bed. A white frame with French detailing like turned feet and added molding on the headboard is a romantic choice that can look luxurious and feminine when dressed in eyelet and lace, or masculine when done up in plaid or flannel.

A California king bed is a large bed that will most likely dominate any bedroom it sits in, so some care should be taken to keep the design clean and simple. Classic curves and an antique wood tone finish are all that's needed to create a traditional bed that can be dressed up or down and still look great with any bedding or decor.
