Contemporary Vs. Traditional Beds

Here at The English Bed Company we are enthusiastic about providing a great product for our customer, producing something that will be a great addition to your home whilst being tailor made to fit your exact specifications.

We understand how interior design works.  We know how contemporary pieces can blend with traditional design schemes or vice versa, opening the room up into a contrast that works on several levels. Why not take a look at some of the beds we have available? Note some of the qualities that makes each design a contemporary or traditional piece, an element of style worth considering in the midst of redesigning your space.

CONTEMPORARY DESIGNS

The BLAKE king-size boasts a modern yet elegant scrolled headboard complete with deep buttoning, and a matching scrolled footboard to successfully frame the bed space and the room itself. Raised off the ground on white tapered legs, the BLAKE has ample room for underneath storage, an important aspect of the contemporary design in contrast to a deep base that sits lower to the ground. Stick to grey, dark fabrics for a masculine look, or take a look at some of our lighter colours to achieve that air of French elegance.

The Blake King-size

The KIPLING king-size is available from £795 and like the BLAKE, it finds itself raised off the ground once more for that extra bit of helpful storage space. The simple, up to date headboard is brought to life here with one of our vibrant, checked fabrics, yet one of our British velvets and wools would also work well depending on the preference of your own personal colour scheme.

 The Kipling King-size

The ROWE king-size features two distinctive winged panels on either side of the headboard to frame the room’s centrepiece, creating an intimate design that even attempts to keep pillows in place and ensure all night comfort. It is a modern take on a classic bed design, with a traditional deep base and raised only slightly off the ground to further frame the design. Available in our range of fabrics to complement a room that boasts evidence of both the modern and the vintage.

TRADITIONAL DESIGNS


The Bronte King-size 

bronte-buttoned-scroll-bed-650-1

The BRONTE king-size boasts an elegant and regal headboard with plush buttoning to reinforce the idea of tradition and subtle elegance. When upholstered in light fabrics such as the one pictured above, the frame carries a solid air of sophistication and femininity that would complement any neutral coloured bedroom and aid relaxation. For a bolder look, why not take a look at some of our fabrics in our collection?


  The Larkin King-size

larkin-buttoned-bed-650-1

Amongst our range of beds and bedroom furniture, the LARKIN king-size is potentially the most traditional and vintage bed in terms of aesthetics. Featuring a deep base that is close to the ground due to its lack of elevation, it really does radiate relaxation, lulling the sleeper deep into sweet dreams. The headboard is bordered around the outside and boasts deep buttoning in the centre to draw all eyes to the very centrepiece of the room. This design also matches our Belfort furniture range perfectly, especially in a lighter fabric that keeps the design subtle amongst the room’s colour scheme.
