When choosing a new bed frame for your room, there are several things you should consider!
A bed frame makes up more than half of your livable space in a bedroom. When thinking about purchasing a new bed and bed frame, you should purchase something that is nice and sturdy. But what other aspects of bed frames should you be looking into? Well, we have some shopping tips to help you narrow down your options.
Think About the Room
When shopping for a bed frame, you should first think about the room it will go into. If it is a small guest room, think about how much guests will actually stay in the room. If it is for occasional guests and the bedroom doubles as an office, think about purchasing a day bed to double as a couch and to save space for the office use. If the bed is for a child’s room, think about a twin bed, bunk beds, or a day bed to save space for a play area. People generally put a lot of money into the master bedroom’s décor. This is one the room of the house that doesn’t have to pull “double duty” and can be solely about the bed. Upgrading to something lavish and beautiful can help make your bedroom the retreat you’ve always wanted.
Size Matters
It isn’t all about the size, but you should account for size of your bedroom when purchasing a new bed. Map out the standard size of the bed in the bedroom using painter’s tape. Make sure you have enough space to fit the bed plus the bed frame into the room. For example, if your room measures 14×16 feet and you would like to purchase a California King bed, you will need to account for 6×7 feet of non-usable space in your bedroom. Will you have enough space for your other furniture; the frame, which could add more feet onto the space for head and foot boards; and walking space? If the bed does not work in the space, think about purchasing a smaller bed and bed frame.
Style
Over the years you have accumulated several cherry wood antiques in your master bedroom that you absolute adore. But you found a black metal frame you are thinking about purchasing for the bedroom. These two types of furniture will not go together and could hurt the appeal of the bedroom. Think about what you want out of your bedroom: do you want contemporary décor or would you like the warmth of a classic bedroom?
Bed Frame Options
While there are several different types of bed frames to choose from, there are two main types:
- Adjustable Bed Frame: this classic metal frame is common in most households because of its ability to be moved. This bed frame is on wheels so it can be easily rearranged. It is also the least expensive option.
- Four Post Bed Frame: this bed has a post on each corner of the bed. They are available in both metal and wood and have designs on the headboards as well as on each post.
When shopping for a bed frame, it is important to make sure you are not overcrowding the bedroom or clashing with the existing style of the room. For more information on our bed frames or for help purchasing a bed, call the bed experts at All American Mattress today!
