It can be difficult to make drastic changes to the design of a room in your home.  Even without tearing out a wall or replacing the floor, knowing how to go about changing the look and over all feel can be pretty challenging.  Going from light to dark or the other way around can make you wonder if you are doing the right thing.  Also, going from bulky extravagant furniture to something a little lighter and airy can be daunting.  When you are used to the fancy elegance and fullness of big furniture; even a room full of smaller furnishings can seem scarce and lacking in personality.   However, finding a metal bed like the Argyle by the Fashion Bed Group can change your idea of “lighter” furniture.

The Argyle Headboard, named for the diamond pattern prominently displayed on it, has an elegance and sophistication all its own.  When you are downsizing the look of a room, you still want the same feel to come across.  This metal bed may not be made of rich wood with ornate carvings, but it is still a piece to be admired.  The brushed nickel finish will still harmonize with your fine linens and most likely give you a fresh new perspective of them.  Give it time and you will fall in love with your new, lighter room.  Once you add night stands, cool toned rugs and paint the walls, you won’t even miss your other furniture.  You might not even realize the heaviness your old room caused until you make these changes.

Go ahead and create a new space to explore your other side.  Whether it is just replacing your bed or redoing your whole room; you won’t regret it.  Actually, you will probably wonder why you didn’t do it sooner.

Some platform beds aren’t made in the traditional “platform” way that most would think. Some really aren’t on platforms at all but still have low profile frames to be considered in this class of bed.

Take a look around your bedroom. What do you see? Most people find that their bedroom does not have a central focal point. Designers agree that one of the best ways to make your bedroom look beautiful is to first choose a central focal point.

Some artists believe that art is created simply to be admired. They feel that their artwork, whether it be made from paint and canvas or forged out of steel, should be looked at and respected, but never touched. Others, however, believe that art is for the enjoyment of everyone.

As I started packing my stuff to move from my college dorm room to my new apartment, I began thinking about what kind of bed I was going to shop for to put in my new master bedroom suite. I wanted something elegant. I wanted something with a distinctive design. I decided on a whim to shop around for metal beds and leave the packing for later.

I shopped a few different brands before I found the Fashion Bed Group and fell head over heels for their beds and their prices. I was hooked. I could not stop looking at the detail on each of their Metal Beds. They were all so unique. I realized that I would have to narrow my search a bit because there were just too many to choose from. So I decided that my new bed must be silver. My colors were black, purple and silver. So, a silver bed would do nicely.

After I chose a color, I found a bed that perfect bed. The Kensington Bed with Frame would be my new bed for my new apartment. I was shocked to find out that I could order it in dusty silver, gold frost, tarnished copper, pumice-gold bullion, or golden crème. Of course I stuck to my colors and ordered the dusty silver, but I was impressed with the array of colors to choose from. My new bed is now in my new master suite. It looks fabulous. I get compliments on it every time someone new comes to see my new place!

A Bed Should Be Cozy, Not Costly

Kids usually have the smaller bedrooms of a house but the most stuff to go in them. The choice of children’s bedroom furniture can be a tough one because of space. Wooden headboards like the Finley Kids Headboard bring an easy style to your kid’s room without overtaking the wall.

If you are brave enough, you can even let your children contribute their own “masterpiece” on the wall above the bed. After all, children’s bedroom furniture like the Finley from Fashion Bed Group is an important investment; but letting your children make the room “their own” might make them want to clean it up!

A Wooden Headboard Is an Easy Choice for Children’s Bedroom Furniture

Sleeping on an iron bed is a somewhat different experience. Once you sleep on it, you may not want to sleep on any other bed. Well, iron beds are not all iron. Their headboards and footboards are of iron, while the frame rails are made of steel.

Do you know that iron beds were made by hand in 1850’s until World War I? The sheer expertise of the craftsman was the pride of this era. The entire process was done by hand, starting from hand pouring to polishing the complex casting and applying finishes.

In the present time, iron bed is made of cold roll, bulky gauge steel tubing, and concrete bar stock. These are the materials responsible for rendering strength to your iron bed furniture and making it last years. Iron beds come in such an exquisite variety of styles and finishes that you will have your heart over all of them.

The Monique Bed is a great temptation in the iron bed collection made by Fashion Bed Group. It has a chic design with bronze or silver finish. Its headboards and rails are the unique features of this bed. The entire bed has accents and beautiful scrollwork. This bed can spruce up a plain-looking room dramatically.

Wrought Iron Beds – The Ultimate Sleeping Experience!

It’s hard to pinpoint the invention of the first daybeds, since people have been lounging on their beds as though they were couches for many centuries. However, you can trace some of the various materials from which these beds were made and follow the evolution of the bed. In today’s world, there are a number of materials available, and Hillsdale Furniture provides models of all types.

The metal day bed was one of the first kinds, since all furniture could be fashioned from metal and simply covered with animal pelts or quilted materials full of goose or duck down. These daybeds were functional though they weren’t completely uncomfortable. By this time, Medieval civilization had many more modern comforts with which to work and make their beds cozy. Therefore, the bedding was not as basic and functional without design or softness like the beds of prehistoric man.

The contemporary daybed is much more sophisticated and stylish, with a variety of design choices. You can choose from among a wrought iron daybed style with intricate design or a straight-laced minimalistic look. You can also choose wooden or brass material as you see fit or as you like, based on your taste and stylistic values.

One of the most functional types is the trundle day bed, which offers the opportunity to have two people share a bedroom while taking up little floor space, with one bed being stored under the other when not in use. There are a number of these available through Hillsdale Furniture that can be stylish and fabulous for your purposes. Most of the daybeds you’ll find today still recall their roots back in early designs, simply adding the modern conveniences of the extras and providing the necessary place from which to enjoy other modern inventions, like the television!

The Days of the First Daybeds

Have you ever wondered what your ancient ancestors slept on at night? Certainly, they didn’t have mattresses as we know them, with spring coils, water, or air inside. It could not have been comfortable for them, at least not compared to modern beds. Without the creation of furniture like our modern iron beds and platform beds, how did Cro-Magnum man sleep without tossing and turning at night?

In history, man killed animals and beasts for meat and furs, the latter of which were used for clothing and bedding. Tossed upon the ground or across elevated stone tables in thick layers, these men were sometimes able to build a bed almost equivalent to modern platform beds, though still not as thick and comfortable as those you’ll find from manufacturers like Fashion Bed Group.

While not having the four poster canopy bed that is available today, some of the ancients did use animal pelts to sequester themselves separately from everyone else, to afford themselves privacy. This was important especially for newlywed couples and women who were having children. Later on, in Medieval times, the canopy bed was refined with silks and laces that made the privacy of a bed less confining and claustrophobic.

Similarities to modern leather headboards are also found in ancient history, with animal pelts hung from stone walls in caves and more pelts piled beneath on the floor of the cave to create a bed for a man and his woman and any children they had. Today’s headboards are more sophisticated and well put together, with wood upholstered with leather to create a luxury. You can find these through Fashion Bed Group as well, at really affordable prices.

Prehistoric Beds – Not Built for Comfort

Some people argue that one kind of wood is better than another for certain applications. In truth, there are woods that are better suited for some uses, such as cedar in a closet, and all types of wood have positive and negative properties. How does this affect the materials you choose when purchasing wood beds or headboards?

In most cases, the type of wood you choose for your bed is based on personal taste and opinion. It can be chosen based on color, hardness, staining properties, how well it blends in with your decor, or even the style in which you wish to decorate your bedroom. For example, cottage style bedroom furniture would most likely not be made out of dark, hard mahogany. It would be lighter and more simplistic, perhaps made from oak or cedar. At the same time, European bedroom furniture often resembles Victorian and Edwardian styles, being large and heavy and made from cherrywood or mahogany.

There are, however, other factors to consider in choosing a wooden headboard or other bedroom furniture. For instance, if you are actually allergic to any particular type of wood, even though your furniture will not be live wood producing pollen or other particles that are irritants, it might be best to stay away from furniture that incorporates that type of wood. Few people are allergic to oak, so oak bedroom furniture is usually a safe direction to go.

If you move frequently, you’ll want something that is lighter and more easily portable. While mahogany bedroom furniture is quite attractive and can make lovely decoration for a bedroom, it is not the best choice if you are quite mobile, since it is a very heavy hardwood, and it will require several individuals to lift the pieces. Instead, you can choose to have furniture made of cedar or oak, staining it the dark mahogany color, until you settle into a single location for a long period of time.

Cherry bedroom furniture is also quite nice, but this should be used in an instance when you don’t have dogs or small children. Cherry is not an extremely hard wood and can easily be scratched or otherwise caused imperfections. That means it’s also not a wise choice if you move frequently, since movers are rarely so cautious with non-breakable items. If you have platform bedroom sets that are permanently fixed in a home where you intend to live for years, and your children or grown or you don’t have children, cherry wood is a great option for bedroom furniture.

A wood and iron bed can also be an interesting choice. A modern headboard may be formed from an intricate wrought iron design, while the bed itself is made from your choice of wood product. Obviously, most of your decision criteria will be based on what you like and want, but considering the pros and cons of different woods can help you weigh your options more carefully and pick furniture that you’ll be happy with for years to come.

Oak or Cedar – Is There a “Best” Wood for Beds?

Do you ever wonder what kind of furniture graces the rooms of your favorite television and movie stars? Are they sleeping amidst fluffy pillows and surrounded by the solitude offered by canopy beds or are they simpler in their design, opting for the more modern trend of platform beds? Whatever you may believe your favorite celebrity has chosen as his or her nighttime furniture, you can rest assured that you’ll find similar styles and trends with online Discount Bedroom Furniture Stores that are just as nice and much more affordable.

While some stars will always choose to collect antiques and imitate a classic design quality, many have begun to opt for modern bedroom sets, updating their style into the 21^st century and building around the minimalist look of platform beds. These have become the furnishings of choice for many people these days, offering clean lines and reduced size that isn’t overbearing in the room.

In fact, it would not be surprising to find wood platform beds in every bedroom of a celebrity’s home, offering a quiet, definitive background around which any theme can be centered due to the fact that platform beds are so unimposing in the space. Even king size platform beds seem less menacing and feel as though they crowd a space less because of their short stature and lack of intricate design aspects.

Of course, something else that may appeal to the stars is iron bed furniture, which has a quality that combines the here and now with the classic style that appeals to some celebrities. This compromise comforts many who feel the need to update without losing their sense of the past, and Fashion Bed Group Furniture has come up with several designs to emulate this style so that you can affordably have a bedroom that resembles what you may find in the intimate quarters of your favorite star.

Bedrooms of the Stars

There are not many pieces of furniture in your home that are as important as a bed is. Your bed is the place where you rest your body night after night. We’ve all had a night of bad sleep. Why, then, would you choose a bed that doesn’t make you absolutely and utterly comfortable?

What Size to Choose?

Most of us grow up sleeping on a twin sized bed. Choose a size bed that will fit your room. Don’t go for a full sized bed just because you’re single at the moment, because you never know how long you will be! Many people go with the largest size of bed that they can fit in their bedroom. Remember: you don’t want the bed to take up the whole bedroom. You need to leave enough room to move around without fear of stubbing your toes.

What about storage?

If you have a small bedroom, you may want to choose a bed that has storage available underneath it, so that you can store things easily without cluttering your room. If you plan on having friends sleep over often look towards a trundle bed, or possibly getting a daybed that has a pop up trundle underneath it.

Metal or Wood?

The two classic materials that beds are made from are wood and metal. The metal and iron beds come in a wide variety of styles that are extremely duarable, while wood beds always bring a classic sensibility to them. While you may want to use a traditional style mattress with a box spring foundation, platform beds that only require a mattress are increasingly popular and are a bit less expensive.

Lines

You might not think that there are lines on a bed frame, but there are. Each curve and side of a bed frame is a line. If you prefer curved lines, look for sleigh beds or an arched panel bed. If you like straight lines go for the missionary style bed or a horizontal slat bed. All of these are classic types of bed You can find many variations on all of these styles at first class manufacturers such as Fashion Bed Group.

Boys Bedroom Furniture

Christmas is rapidly approaching. Have you figured out yet what you are going to get your wife? You could always go for a new vacuum cleaner or a kitchen gadget. Or you could do something entirely different. Something that will give you massive bonus points with your wife. Something that will make you a hero. You could buy her a new bed.

“A new bed?” you might be thinking. “But we already have a bed. Why should I buy a new one?” For starters, if you’ve had your bed over 15 years it is definitely time to get a new one, especially if you have had the same mattress. Dust mites and other microscopic germs love to rest in mattresses, and bed frames that aren’t built solidly lose some of their stability as time goes on.

A new bed is an excellent gift, especially if your wife is having back or leg trouble. A new bed and box spring and mattress might be just what she needs to alleviate the pain. Every woman loves to decorate and re-decorate her home, and by giving her a new bed you will be giving her a good reason to do some redecorating in your bedroom. Not sure what she likes? Take an innocent trip to the mall or Furniture Store. Modern or Traditional, Wood or Wrought Iron, King Size or Queen Size. Watch a television show and remark on whether you like the bed or not. Keep an eye on what she likes and look for it to purchase later! I promise you she’ll be happy you did and so will you!
