The latest trend in modern bedroom furniture has been the redesign of the bed frame. Spurred by both changes in mattress technology as well as contemporary fashions, bed frames come in sexy new looks and packed full of features to truly spice up modern bedrooms. Its goodbye sleigh beds and hello style!
By far the most popular and functional new bed style is that of platform beds. Modern, sleek and practical; there are lots of reasons to love modern platform beds. For function - platform beds are a great choice for homes with smaller bedrooms because the low profile makes rooms feel open and larger. They also help save money and consolidate your belongings as platform beds frames do not require a box spring to use. Just one less thing to buy! From modern to Asian to transitional to storage platform beds offer a vast variety of function and form.
Another popular trend is not new but definitely improved. Modern canopy bed designs have ditched the gaudy iron swirls for beautiful wooden frames with simple lines and an unmistakably exotic flair. Shoppers will also find that most of the modern styles no longer even feature fabric canopies! Also called four poster beds, modern canopy beds rely on the style of the frame alone for their allure. No need to hide behind a veil any more.
Whether you shop high end specialty stores, catalogs or wholesale stores you are guaranteed plenty of choices in these great new bed frame styles. Though your goal is to buy a canopy or platform bed that defines your style, be sure you inspect the quality as well. Cheap bed frames can start to wobble in just a few years but quality furniture will last a lifetime. Beyond design, nothing defines beauty more than quality. Beds made from solid wood will last much longer than beds made from compressed wood . It is also important to choose quality construction along with quality materials when choosing a new bedroom set. Beds made with quality bracket systems or mortise and tenon joinery won't loosen over time like beds made with nails or screws.
