Planning A Bed

Posted by santi On March - 25 - 2010

Want to have a great contemporary style for your house? You should not forget about your bedroom. Never think that bedroom is a private area where no one will pay attention to instead it is a place where you will rest your self and feel the comfort there. One thing you should remember is that the furniture takes a hand in making you feel comfort.

What will bedroom without bed be? Don’t let your bed be an afterthought. Your bed will be the most prominent object in your room, so it has to go with your bedroom’s theme, color-wise, size-wise, and style-wise. A huge bed in a small room will likely look out of place as would a four-post bed in a room with sleek modern furnishings.

Bed Sizes

The most popular bed sizes are king, queen, twin and the increasingly popular California king. A California king is narrow and long, rather than the traditional king bed’s square shape. Just make sure you have the exact dimensions of your bed before you go mattress shopping, since bed manufacturers sometimes don’t follow the standard bed sizes exactly.

Bed Styles

Don’t confuse bed sizes with bed styles. Bed styles refer to the headboard and footboard. The basis of any bed is still the mattress and frame, which only vary outwardly in terms of the sizes listed above.

  • Daybed

Daybeds are twin beds. What makes them special is that they can double as couches if you position them against a wall. Being compact and versatile, daybeds are great for small spaces.

  • Platform

Platform beds are elegantly simple, fitting in with just about any style of decor.

  • Sleigh bed

Sleigh beds have curved headboards and foot boards that look like, well…a sleigh. There are simpler and more modern sleigh bed designs, so you can get one even if you are going for a more modern-looking room.

  • Four post bed

You know this bed already: it’s the one with a post sticking up out of each corner. The posts can support a canopy, but the canopy is optional.

  • Pencil post bed

Pencil post beds are like four-post beds, only the posts are tall and tapered like…well, pencils. Harking back to their heyday in the 1700s, pencil-post beds fit a room with colonial furnishings especially well.

Well, which bed will be your contemporary bedroom furniture? Don’t bet your bed.

    I’m going to coat-tail on what “Very Evolved” said… The way you connect to your audience is… Know who you are writing to. You need to pick a Target Audience and stick to them. You wouldn’t write to an audience of 14yr olds the same way you would write to an audience of 60yr olds.
