Beds – trends and styles

What will you look for in your next bed?

Are you into clean lines and simple styles, or do you want a sumptuous, romantic bedroom? Today’s beds are available in all shapes and sizes so that you can choose exactly what you want.

Size

Current trends for beds and mattresses are focused on size; the bigger the bed, the better. Superking beds are increasingly popular – offering the width and length you need to ensure that you have enough room for an undisturbed night’s sleep. If your bedroom isn’t big enough for a superking bed, try a king size, which doesn’t take up that much more floor space than a double, but gives you the extra sleeping space you need.

Accessories

Dressing your bed and making it individual is an important trend. Headboards are particularly popular – covered in a wide range of fabric, and in all sorts of shapes and sizes. You can buy a fairly standard divan bed and turn it into something special with a tall headboard that adds a focal point to your room. Buy more than one headboard so that you can change the look and feel of your room whenever you want to.

Cushions

Create a warm and welcoming feel by covering your beds with soft throws and cushions covered in tactile fabric. Large cushions, bolsters, quilts and blankets all combine to create a room that you’ll want to spend time in.

Styles

Although low beds are very popular and very cool, people are still buying more traditional sleigh beds and wrought iron bedsteads. It seems that, as long as the bed fits in with your own personal style, you can still follow one or more trends to create a bedroom with a “wow” factor. Tying your design together with accessories and lighting means that you can end up with a bedroom that looks like it’s straight out of a catalogue. http://www.overstock.com/guides/top-5-bed-styles
