What is the appeal of grey wood beds?
So often, we see living spaces draw inspiration from traditional and contemporary styles, with people admiring both aesthetics and not willing to commit to one or another. This usually culminates in blurred lines between a traditional and modern-styled room. This allows for greater scope and means you can mix and match furniture, decor and colour schemes to tailor the room to your perfect vision.
A simple yet effective way of achieving a traditional and contemporary aesthetic is through the addition of a grey wooden bed. Wooden structures are synonymous with traditionally styled bedrooms, whereas grey is a mainstay among modern bedrooms. Other benefits of our collection include the neutral hue and versatility of grey, meaning it's an excellent match for many rooms and the durability and robustness of the wood or wood-effect structures.
Is a double bed suitable for me?
Double beds are an incredibly popular choice and will likely fit your bedroom. However, ensure your room is spacious enough to accommodate a double bed by measuring the room's available space and cross-referencing these measurements with the bed's dimensions. For context, a double bed measures 4'6" wide and 6'3" long. If a double bed proves too large for your bedroom, consider a spacious yet smaller alternative in the form of a small double bed.
Other considerations
Ottoman storage
If the idea of integrated storage appeals to you, consider our collection of ottoman beds. These beds feature ample space beneath the mattress to accommodate bedding and other possessions. The multi-functional structures mean you can reap the rewards of a bed frame and storage options all within the same structure. Other storage options include beds featuring drawers within the bed's footend.
Low footend or high footend
Beds with low footends won't feature a unit at the bottom of the bed, whereas high footend bed frames will feature a structure similar in style and height to the headboard. Low footend beds are ideal for smaller bedrooms and present the illusion of greater space, whereas high footends give the impression of grand and lavish statement pieces of furniture.
Solid slats or sprung slats
Along the base of the bed will feature wooden slats. Sprung slats provide a 'bouncier feel' whilst lying in bed, whereas solid slats accentuate the mattress's firmness.
What brands can I choose from?
A whole host of brands accompany our collection, including Julian Bowen and Limelight.
