Design also comes into the bedroom to transform our classic bed bases into settings conducive to resting. Discover our selection of beds to dream about design.
If it is the guarantee of a good night’s sleep, the bed can also be seen as a real decorative piece. So we no longer choose it only for its comfort but also for its aesthetics. No more hiding it under a large blanket, falling on either side of the bed base. The latter is displayed in broad daylight, just as we do with our headboards, worthy of the largest hotels. Get out of the traditional impersonal and soulless bed. We want it to be designed to bring style, even character, to the room. We like their more elaborate lines, their sometimes bold materials or their fun colors. Because the designer bed knows how to stand out, but without necessarily overdoing it. While some models therefore play the singularity by mixing wood and leather with integrated bedside tables and lamps, others opt for a firmer minimalism and discretion.

What decoration with a designer bed?
We know it well, to highlight a strong piece, it is better to calm things around. So, if our bed imposes itself, we will avoid drowning it in a decoration that is too busy to make it stand out. We will then prefer neutral shades on the wall or complementary to the bed frame. For a strong mustard or beige frame, we will choose for example an equally earthy color palette, but one tone lower.
But since decoration is not an exact science, and we like contractions, we can dare to go for a total design with bedside tables that are equally elegant but not necessarily compatible. Because we need help. We then combine finishes and textures. A precept that applies equally well to furniture and walls.
Finally, we dare to use contrasts. The clean lines of a four-poster bed will coexist with XXL floral wallpaper or a wavy carpet. For an extraordinary effect, a curly wool bed will find its place in a rougher environment or mixed with concrete. In short, we appropriate this piece of furniture to make it our perfect cocoon.
The most beautiful designer beds of the moment
This season, designer beds offer two very distinct trends. On the one hand, the straight and rectilinear shapes that appear around the bed for a strict and serious look. On the other hand, enveloping contours as soft as clouds. It is up to you to choose the model that will help us have the most beautiful night.
