A bed frame is a framework that supports the mattress and its users. Therefore, your bed frame must be strong and stable to support. A bed frame can add the perfect finishing touch to your bedroom. There are many various types of bed frames, and they can be fashionable and comfortable altogether.

Here are several considerations before deciding on a bed frame:

  • Sturdy platform: Is the bed frame stable?
  • Bed frame’s height: What is appropriate for you?
  • Quality materials: Are the materials durable?
  • Style and design: Does it speak about your personality?

There are two (2) things to consider for the bed frame material:

  1. durability
  2. aesthetic

Durability includes that the bed frame is solid, properly-joined wood, metal, or steel. At the same time, aesthetics consider color, shape, and texture.

Some bed frames come with integrated headboards. However, a headboard is not necessary. Some bed frames have built-in USB ports, reading lights, and adjustable heights to provide maximum comfort.

Different types of bed frames

There are quite a variety of choices when it comes to bed frames. You can have a unique bed frame customized for you. However, there are three (3) standard types of bed frames:

Platform bed frames: They are sturdy types and are generally low to the ground. The platform bed frames are amongst the most popular modern bed frames. They provide extra storage or space under the beds that are useful at all times.

Upholstered bed frames: They are cozy and are usually in fabric or leather.

Metal bed frames: Minimalists typically choose this type of bed frame. They are also very durable. Metal bed frames will include aluminum bed frames, and they are more lightweight. Most modern bed frames are likely to be made of aluminum rather than metal. Metal bed frames can also come with low wheels. Finally, metal frames can give an old-world look when made from wrought iron.

Wooden bed frames: Teak, wicker, or rosewood is the popular choices for wooden frames. The modern wooden bed frames have sleek patterns, simple designs, and minimalist themes. They also have solid, bold colors, and they give a futuristic appearance to the bedroom. Wooden bed frames have legs rather than wheels, and they are usually assembled. Wooden bed frames can also vary in height. They can also provide space under the bed to store suitcases or boxes.

Waterbed frames: Waterbed frames have to be stronger. They have to have higher edges that support the weight of a waterbed. The waterbed frames closely resemble that of the platform bed frame.

Canopy bed frames

The choice of bed frames usually depends on the type of décor, size of bedroom, cost, etc. Canopy frames can represent both the classic and modern eras, depending on the design of the frames. Canopy bed frames provide modern comforts with traditional classical styles that a lot of homeowners love. For example, the conventional four-poster bed has become modernized with canopy bed frames. Once seen only in museums, this style gives modern furniture makers a new record of vibrance as an elegant yet sturdy bed frame. The contemporary canopy frames still have four (4) posts in each corner. These can extend to four (4) feet from the ground. They have supports from which curtains will hang. This time, the posts are no longer ornate. Still, they have a more straightforward and practical design making it easy to dismantle and clean. Representing romance, canopy bed frames precede this reputation until the present. However, the canopy sets it apart from other modern bed frames. These canopies are made from silk, velvet, calico, tapestry, or even sheer materials that can create a romantic atmosphere in newlyweds’ bedrooms. Its modern addition is the panel that never existed in the olden days. These can be of different lengths. The canopy material, color, and print can vary depending on the theme that one wants to convey. You can easily find these by Googling pictures of honeymoon suites. They typically have white lace curtains and canopy beds with ivory silken bedspread strewn with rose petals. Young couples may not need to worry if canopy bed frames seem way beyond their budget. A platform bed frame can do the job by attaching four (4) poles to the four corners of the bed frame. Then attach curtain rods to the frames, and they can hang curtains to get a canopy bed effect. Apart from a romantic theme, canopy ones are also lovely for the rooms of young girls. Canopy frames bring a cool, soft look to a young girl’s room when canopy frames are in soft pastel shades with delicate designs. The most important criterion with canopy frames is the space that they occupy. Make sure to measure the bedroom width and height to ensure enough space to accommodate a fair-sized canopy bed without restricting movement. With lots of imagination and taste, one can give their bedroom a modern, trendy look. Remember that it is essential to match the rest of the room décor with the frames to provide the room with an exquisite look. Looking at home décor magazines can give you a fair idea of how you would like to decorate your bedroom.

Bed frame sizes

You can usually have them in king, queen, or twin bed sizes.

No matter your choice, make sure your bed frame suits your bedroom and overall speaks about you or your personality.
