Bed frames and bedroom interior styles.
It’s no exaggeration to say that your bed frame choice will make or break your bedroom’s interior design. A false move here could undermine the look you’re going for and lead to a product return that costs you more money.
The good news is there’s the perfect bed frame out there whether you’re refreshing your bedroom for a mid-century modern, minimalist, or industrial style. But it helps to know what to look for when heading to the shops.
Join us below to discover the best bed frames for popular interior styles.
Mid-century modern
Your mid-century bedroom will look best with a winged headboard, sleigh bed, or sleek wooden frame with a natural finish.
The Urban Beds Infinity has a gorgeous winged headboard with deep padding to enhance your comfort while reading in bed. Cream fabric and button detailing make it the perfect focal point for a space decorated in bold colours.
Another option is a sleigh bed like the Flintshire Leona, which features foot and head scrolls, plush dark velvet upholstery, and decorative wooden feet.
If you prefer wooden bed frames, the Birlea Rio and Bedmr Chester fit the bill, giving your mid-century bedroom a classy bed.
Farmhouse
Farmhouse bedrooms look fantastic, with white and natural wooden bed frames and rustic charm. Think of antique pine and chunky wooden designs.
The Julian Bowen Pickwick is a perfect pick with its Scandinavian pine build, natural finish, and elegant appearance with a spindle headboard.
The Nordic Mill Vega is a slightly more modern bed frame for your farmhouse bedroom. It is a low bed frame in pine with an antique finish.
The Limelight Taurus High Wooden Bed Frame is perfect for a white bed frame, giving your bedroom a touch of farmhouse charm.
Minimalist
Minimalist bedrooms should always have a low or basic bed frame to create space and bring other high-quality interior elements to life.
The Shed Beds Tokyo is one of the lowest bed frames, sitting just 50mm off the floor, which makes it ideal for relaxing and lounging.
The Milan Bed Company Platform Base is a fantastic choice if you want a minimalist, slightly industrial bedroom.
Other good options include the slimline Flintshire Oakenholt and the Time Living City Block, which has a square-ish metal build.
Industrial
Your industrial bedroom can go wild with a brass (or brass-effect) bed frame, but anything that looks old and distressed works well.
The Flintshire Cilcain fits the bill for a distressed look, with a bronze effect bed frame that wouldn’t look out of place in a factory.
For a less rectangular style, the Flintshire Mostyn has a bowed headboard and footboard with ornamental bar connectors for a touch of class.
If you’re not a fan of brass and bronze bed frames, check out the Birlea Montana, which has an electroplated chrome and nickel finish.
Transitional
Transitional bed frames merge traditional and modern styles to create shapes and features that work in eclectic spaces.
The Harlow bed frame from Urban Beds is a prime example, with warm stone fabric, a low mattress height, and an interesting vertical channel headboard.
Another decent option for transitional bedrooms is the Julian Bowen Hannah, which has plush grey bouclé upholstery for a cosy feel.
Bed frames that combine two materials and colours are also good choices – check out the stylish Naples Bed Company 3318B.
Summing up
Make your bed frame your bedroom’s focal point, and take your time to find the perfect model. Quality rules the roost for bed frames, and all the options in this article strike a balance between quality, style, and affordability.
