Having a four-post bed frame creates a dramatic focal point and exudes a vibe of luxury and elegance to your bedroom. If you are working on a bedroom with a four-post bed frame, here are some tips to help you design the room.
Start by choosing a color scheme. Select a color palette to work with your room. If you want to create a relaxing atmosphere, the neutral colors like cream, beige or gray reflect a calm and soothing aura while vibrant colors exude a more lively and energetic space.
Decide where to put your four-post bed. Your bed can be the focal point of the room so consider positioning the bed at the center of the room or against a feature wall to draw attention to the frame. If you don’t have a four-post bed yet, consider the size of the room and the bed frame. Make sure that the size of the bed frame fits your room’s dimensions and leave enough space around the bed frame to move around comfortably and for other furniture.
Choose your furniture. Consider the size of the furniture that you are adding to the room so as not to make the space look cramped. In this photo, two arm chairs were used as additional room furniture. If you have limited space, you may want to opt for a bench ottoman that you can position at the end of the bed. Don’t forget to add storage space, which helps the room be clutter-free.
Select your beddings, accents, and accessories. Choose bedding that goes with the style of your four-post bed and your color scheme. Duvet cover, comforter, or quilt with patterns or texture makes the room interesting. You can add some decorative accessories like throw pillows, throw blankets, or a bed canopy. You can also add a rug underneath the bed, like the one in this photo, to tie the room’s overall look together.
Don’t forget your lighting. Lighting is the jewel when designing a room. You can add a bedside lamp on the side of the bed or have a ceiling lighting fixture that complements the style of your four-post bed frame.
Designing a room with a four-post bed frame can be a fun and exciting process. Just keep in mind the design tips we shared to create a cohesive, stylish, and comfortable space.
