Posted on Thursday, April 9th, 2009 at 5:35 amA Solid Wood Bed Frame Combines Traditional And Modern Aesthetic Appeal.
A bed frame is critical to modern or contemporary bedroom furniture designs. They provide a comfortable sleeping surface – and that is the practical aspect. They also make the bedroom an inviting warm and gorgeous space. The terms contemporary and modern to describe furniture design can sometimes confuse the common man. The term ‘modern’ usually refers to a specific school of design, while the term contemporary refers to furniture designed after the 1980s. They both have similar simple, sleek, clean and uncluttered designs.
Contemporary bedroom furniture is available in all price ranges and styles that appeal to both the super wealthy and the ordinary salaried person too. This is because you can have elegant king modern beds that grace the master bedroom of a large villa. You can also have contemporary bedroom furniture like platform beds and bunk beds that a middle class family will go for to save space. Some of the space saving devices that you can find in contemporary bedroom furniture include – a trundle bed or small drawers that can fit under a platform frame, a small bookshelf fixed to the headboard or even convenient shelves fitted under the platform frame.
Contemporary canopy bed frames is one of the traditional bed style that was modified to meet the needs of a modern customer. Contemporary canopy bed frames are either made out of wood or metal with very simple designs. Metal contemporary canopy bed frames are typically made from wrought or cast iron and are available in many colors. Wrought iron is extremely heavy and hence movement is restricted. If you getting one of these, you should ensure that you get a soft mattress such as firm futon mattress, instead of a box spring mattress.
There are primarily two types of canopy bed frames – traditional European and traditional Chinese. The former was used in the 16th and 17th centuries when bedrooms where part of great halls and a canopy bed provided privacy to a sleeping couple. Traditional Chinese canopy beds are delicate in designs with carvings of Chinese dragons and beautiful lattice work. A solid wood bed frame is popular because it is long lasting, comes in many styles and it can be easily matched with the rest of the bedroom furniture.
A solid wood bed frame is usually made of any of the following types listed below.
• Oak
• Cherry
• Ash
• Maple
• Pecan
• Rosewood
• Walnut
• Redwood
• Mahogany
• Redwood
• Cedar
• Teak
Teak is usually preferred by consumers as they are everlasting and it does not deform even under extreme exposure to cold weather. The price at which they are offered is very reasonable compared with other woods. Also, there are times where a combination of woods is made to make it look attractive. The outer layer is actually made of costly mahogany and inner layer is made of plywood.
This kind of combination makes solid wood bed frame look attractive and yet priced competitively too. Those who cannot afford expensive veneering can go in for prints, paintings or engravings on the wood. The finish of the solid wood bed frame must be done using wax, paint, lacquer or oil. Natural finished solid wood bed frames give a classical look while the painted ones give a more funky and modern look. Those who want an airy atmosphere in their bedroom can opt for wooden bed frames painted in white. With similar satin or cotton bedding and some plants on the window sill, you can achieve a lovely, cool atmosphere.
Leather platform bed can completely change the way your bedroom looks. This will make your bedroom look very neat and elegant. Black and deep brown are typically the colors preferred; there are other colors that suits well for leather platform bed such as red, cream and white. The base is typically made of wood. If you are looking to get simple design and style you can go for white leather platform beds such as Orion King Size White Leather Bed. They have the panel, upholstery and headrest in white with cozy cushion attached.
Black leather platform beds – a perennial favorite – are available with the footboard and side panels also covered in black leather. This gives a lovely, warm ambiance to the bedroom. In modern times, with more people preferring to be eco-friendly and not use pure leather, Leatherette – a kind of faux leather is gaining in popularity. It is much cheaper than real leather, has the same look and lasts long too. So get a beautiful leatherette platform bed and enhance the beauty of the bedroom.
