Hardwood Bedroom Furniture: Decorating Around a Wooden Bed

A bedroom is a private sanctuary, giving you an environment of peaceful tranquility. In any bedroom, the bed is the focal point, and plays a big role in determining the décor of the room. Canopy, log, four-poster, platform, and sleigh are just some of the beds created with hardwood bedroom furniture. Traditional beds made of wooden headboards and footboards are a long-withstanding favorite. Wood beds made from mahogany, walnut, oak, cherry and pine display features reflective of distinct decorating styles.

Mediterranean

Bulky footboards and headboard made from dark woods like the Serta Princeton Californian King Size Bed in Twilight Cherry by Lifestyle Solutions are ideal for a Mediterranean-style bedroom. Casual and rustic elegance describe this décor with textured walls bathed in earthy golds, greens, or neutrals. Bedding ensembles incorporate neutral tones to give a pleasant contrast to the rick and dark wood. Red throw pillows add a burst of energy to the room, while floor-length draperies add sophistication and drama. Accessorize with carved wood mirrors, wall tapestries, and wrought-iron candlesticks.

Transitional

Transitional style blends contemporary and traditional design. These beds reflect transitional style by incorporating straight and gently tapered or slightly curved lines. Fashioned from medium to dark woods, these beds show off a sophisticated elegance like the Summerfield Full Size Bed by Powell. Neutral colors in sandy beiges, creamy caramels, or sage greens incorporated on bed linens and splashed on walls enhance this kind of décor. Almond curtains hung on a metal or wood pole will complement the simple elegance of this bedroom design.

 Contemporary

Wood platform beds like the Dark Walnut Currant Californina King Platform Bed by Greenington typify contemporary décor. Light to dark woods, straight lines and sharp angles characterize the modern style bed. Functional and simple design depicts pieces made in the contemporary style. Color palettes for bedding and paint are selected in one or two colors to reflect design simplicity. Winter gray, coal black, and neutral beige mixed with crisp white are great color schemes for contemporary décor. Minimal accessories characterize this clutter-free style.

Cabin

Log beds made of pine or hickory resonate the cabin décor. Log homes, fishing cabins or ski chalets display rustic environments complemented by the addition of log beds. Animal-themed  begging like deer, bear, elk, fish or moose enhances the cabin style, while log beds with embellished metal accents will accentuate a rustic cabin décor. Bed linens, window treatments, and area rugs in muted or vibrant browns, blues, greens and reds embrace the earthy outdoor ambience.
