Popular Bed Styles in 2023

Your bedroom is the most personal room in your home, showcasing your personality and providing a place to relax and be yourself.

Making your bedroom a pleasant space starts with a great bed, and both your bed frame and your mattress play a role in this – your bed sets the style of your bedroom, while your mattress provides the comfort you crave.

Statement-making bed styles are popular in 2023 as people look to hunker down after returning to the office. This article explores the most popular styles and trends to inspire you when kitting out your bedroom.

Let’s jump in!

Elegance with Sleigh Beds | Popular Bed Styles in 2023

Sleigh beds are selling like hotcakes in 2023 with their classical appearance and luxurious vibe. Their rounded headboards and footboards soften spaces on the eye, providing an ideal focal point for eclectic interior design.

We adore the Orb Fabric Mink Velvet sleigh bed, also available in black and silver velvet to match your bedroom’s colourway. Check out the Birlea Valentino, which has two foot-end drawers if you need storage space.

Ornate Metal Beds | Popular Bed Styles in 2023

We have seen a shift in style preferences towards ornate metal beds like the Time Living Inova. The beauty of metal beds is that they are available in unlimited styles and colours, satisfying any interior design taste.

The Birlea Montana is perfect for Art Deco lovers, while the Harmony Beds Elizabeth is perfect for creating a luxurious, princess vibe. Another popular bed frame is the Birlea Atlas, which has a black finish with antique brass finials.

White/cream wood beds | Popular Bed Styles in 2023

Although natural wood has its charms, 2023 has seen a rise in popularity for white/cream bed frames. White wooden bed frames look warm and cosy, offering a light focal point to help bedrooms feel airy.

If you want more storage, check out the Bedmr Fabio, which has a large pull-out drawer and end shelves.

Shaped headboards | Popular Bed Styles in 2023

2023 is the year of shaped headboards, with more people opting for unconventional designs. The Urban Beds Rose is a prime example, with this bed’s subtle scrolled headboard providing a touch of class.

The Birlea Harper is another popular bed frame, with a fan-shaped headboard subtly angled to make sitting up in bed extra comfy. For ultimate luxury, the Bedmr Newton has a gorgeous, buttoned headboard in the Finsbury shape.

You can also buy headboards separately - check out our article covering our favourite headboards to transform any bed.

Technology heaven

TV bed sales have rocketed in 2023 as people look to transform their bedrooms into multimedia havens. 32-inch TV beds are the most popular, balancing cost and size to give you a budget-friendly TV experience in bed.

What is a TV bed? TV beds have a motorised TV bracket built into their footboards, letting you hide or watch TV at the press of a button. Check out the Kaydian Design Titan to see the pinnacle of TV beds with a 4.1 surround sound system.

Ottoman storage | Popular Bed Styles in 2023

Ottoman beds have exploded in popularity in 2023 because they provide more storage than any other bed. Ottomans have a liftable base that takes the mattress with it, using the abundant space between the mattress platform and the floor.

While upgrading to an ottoman base adds £150 to £200 to the price of most divan bases, it is worth the extra storage. With some beds, you can specify a side-opening or end-opening platform to suit your bedroom layout.
