Platform Bed Blog : Bed News and Updates

Since the bed is most likely the focal point of your bedroom, it sets the theme for style and design. A modern platform bed usually has a simple, sleek design. Some styles feature leather-upholstered headboard and other s have a regular headboard. Most pieces have dark finishes which are complemented well by light colored sheets for the ultimate modern touch.

Decorating around a modern platform bed is relatively easy because of its simple design. You can use white beddings no matter the color of the bed’s finish. This makes your space appear larger, not to mention fresher. You can paint the bedroom walls with a light neutral color. This is so you won’t have to repaint the walls every time you change your color scheme.

For other furniture pieces such as nightstands, dresser, and chests, they should have either a light or dark colored finish. A monochromatic combination with dashes of bright accent pieces is usually the trend, though more and more people are exploring with combining different styles and varied colors of furniture to come up with an eclectic bedroom design.

If you want to have decorative pieces in your room, get designs that go well with your modern platform bed. If your bed has sharp edges and a striking finish, a round mirror with intricately carved frame would look out of place. You can mix and match different styles but make sure they go well with each other so that your room doesn’t look like a hodge-podge of mismatched furniture.

When furnishing a modern bedroom, less is more so don’t load up on everything you see at your furniture store. Buy only what you need so that you’re room would have more free space and less clutter.
