Beyond size, which of course, determines whether a double bed is a suitable fit for your room, style is arguably the most important consideration when you’re on the search for a double bed. Our blog provides insight into both the suitability of a double bed and which style is likely to be the right choice for you. 

Should I consider a double bed?

Before you consider storage options, style, and price, you’ll need to determine whether a double bed is the best fit for your bedroom. A double bed is an incredibly popular choice, and for most people, it provides sufficient room for a couple sharing a bed without occupying too much space.  

However, if you are restricted by space, a small double bed may be a suitable alternative. On the other hand, you may want to go all out and make the most of a king or super king bed frame if you’re fortunate enough to have a large bedroom. 

Integrated storage could be the answer for you. Making the most out of the space within your frame could allow for a larger bed than you initially thought possible. If you’d like further insights in everything double bed related, be sure to check out our comprehensive guide to double beds.

What would you recommend for a modern bedroom?

For many people, their bed represents more than just a place in which to sleep. This makes perfect sense; your bed will almost always be the largest piece of furniture in your room, and therefore, it needs to represent your room’s style and vision. 

A double fabric bed

Fabric upholstery is distinctively modern, and a fabric bed is often the focal point of any contemporary-styled room. If your room features monochromatic tones such as black, grey, or white, a fabric bed will be a seamless addition. Alternatively, if your room adopts a bright and eccentric aesthetic, you may settle on a blue or green upholstered bed, for instance. 

A double faux leather bed

Similarly, your heart may be set on a faux leather bed frame. Faux leather is recognised for its sleek style, smooth texture, and incredible versatility. What’s more, faux leather is easy to clean and a cost-effective alternative to genuine leather. It is also a fantastic match for rooms that feature minimalist aesthetics and monochromatic colour schemes. 

Painted wood

Wooden beds are synonymous with traditional bedrooms on account of their rustic and classic style. What’s fantastic about a painted wooden bed is the blurred lines between traditional and modern styles. A painted finish adds a contemporary touch to the frame and could be the perfect addition to your bedroom. 

A double metal bed

Depending on the style of the double metal bed, you may find a modern option for your room. Sure, opulent metal beds are better suited to traditional rooms but we also feature a variety of modern metal beds too. 

Whereas traditional metal beds are characterised by their glamorous headboard styles, modern metal beds are identifiable by chic painted finishes such as cream, white or grey.
