In a perfect world, we'd all have at least 45cm of free space on either side of our beds to adequately vacuum and change the sheets. But, of course, space is fast being put on the endangered species list, which means we can't all go out and pick up King-size designs for our bedrooms.
When it comes to bedsteads, they take up more room than divans, especially the plump, upholstered type and wooden sleigh beds. However, both divans and bedsteads usually come in sections, making it easier to get them around corners or up the stairs.
Many high-sleeper designs provide adequate space underneath for a desk, a daybed, shelving or even a wardrobe. And virtually every child staring school thinks bunk beds are fun. Just make sure those bunks are securely joined: check that internal wooden dowelling with cross-fitting screws or metal dowels with intersecting bolts are used, and that the ladder is secure.
When sticking to one neutral color family, introduce plenty of varying textures for a more robust look and feel. Loose linens make for an effortlessly chic bed situation while the antique floor mirror and structural pendant light dress things up.A shaker style stove, like the one in this bedroom, reflects the coziness of a classic fireplace with a sleek, modern design
At the end of the day, personal preference plays a big role when choosing between bed styles. Both a divan and bedstead can be fitted with the mattress of your choice. However, if you want to make a dramatic statement with your bed, think about a bedstead upholstered in luxurious velvet or linen, for instance.
Or how about an elegant four-poster bed, complementing your room's modern and linear style? A divan might be the plainer choice, but these beds are pro when it comes to additional storage possibilities. Should your budget be on the smaller side, go with a basic divan, then add a fitting headboard to make a style statement of your choosing.
