Modern Bed Frames

When designing your bedroom in a contemporary style, a modern bed frame is the best investment you can make.

Modern bed frames work well in eclectic and mid-century modern spaces as focal points. They can help lift bedrooms in period homes without destroying character and charm.

This article reveals nine modern bed frames to transform your bedroom, including metal, wooden, and fabric.

Let’s jump in!

Modern Bed Frames - Birlea Margot

The Birlea Margot is our favourite modern bed frame with a stunning natural cane rattan headboard and a stylish black frame made from solid oak. It’s a modern take on a French classic, helping elevate your bedroom in style.

The footboard is low to maintain a sleek appearance, and the mattress platform sits less than 25cm from the ground, giving it a modern stance.

Modern Bed Frames - Time Living Meridian

The Time Living Meridian is a modern classic metal bed frame with a tubular metal frame finished in satin black. It has a low headboard and footboard with a tubular construction and evokes a real sense of industrialism.

This bed frame is brilliant in industrial-inspired bedrooms, especially those with a brick or concrete-effect wallpaper on a feature wall.

Modern Bed Frames - Olivia bed frame

The Olivia Bed Frame has a classic charcoal grey and natural wood colour scheme with an attractive headboard and footboard. It is made from rubberwood with oak veneer panels, fitting perfectly with modern décor.

We love how this bed frame softens spaces despite its square profile, with the elegant shape helping make any bedroom more stylish.

Modern Bed Frames - Milan Bed Company Ashbourne

Look no further for a strikingly fashionable fabric bed frame! The Milan Bed Company Ashbourne has mustard-yellow fabric and a gorgeous low-profile frame, evoking authentic 60s vibes with a mid-century modern twist.

We adore this bed frame’s buttoned headboard and soft-touch linen fabric, which helps to give bedrooms a softer, homely vibe.

Modern Bed Frames - Birlea Hemlock

The Birlea Hemlock wins the top spot for uniqueness, with a delightful arched side profile, chrome feet, and a deeply buttoned headboard. It’s modern but fits anywhere, with the organic shape giving bedrooms femininity.

The curved design is unlike any other bed frame, and the soft-touch velvet fabric is lovely to touch and sit up against with a good book.   

Modern Bed Frames - Flintshire Conway

The Flintshire Conway ticks all the right boxes if you want something simple but modern. It’s made from solid oak with a panelled headboard and a matte grey finish, with the headboard top rail finished in natural brown.

This minimalist bed frame suits eclectic spaces thanks to chunky legs and a shaker headboard that fits anywhere.

Modern Bed Frames - Birlea Urban

What can be more modern than a metal and wood bed frame? The Birlea Urban blends metal and wood perfectly with a robust black metal frame and wooden side, foot, and head panels. It’s the perfect bed frame for urban living.

This bed frame is beautifully crafted with high-quality materials, with a solid slatted base for firmer support (ideal for pure foam mattresses).

Milan Bed Company Platform

The Milan Bed Company Platform does away with a headboard and footboard, giving you a simple metal mattress platform. It evokes minimalism to provide a modern appearance and is perfect for smaller spaces that need a sense of openness.

Another benefit to this bed frame (or platform, if you like) is it saves space, with the bed frame practically the same size as the mattress.

Modern Bed Frames - LPD Sloan

Available in blue or green, the LPD Sloan has a unique swooping side rail that curves down from the headboard and extends across the side of the bed to a low footboard. Modern and sleek, it’s the perfect bed frame for a modern bedroom.

We also love the deeply cushioned headboard with buttoned detailing and soft-touch velvet fabric, which provides a sense of luxury and warmth.
