We all know what a bed or a bed frame is. Although we have often used these two words synonymously, they are different. While bed is the furniture we sleep on, bed frame or bedstead is the rectangular frame, which comprises the bed. In fact, the bed consists of a frame and a mattress and we are here to talk about the frame alone.
Bed frames can be of different types. Their designs have undergone changes over the time with change if taste. However, what type of frame to select depends on existing décor of the room. Often the architecture of the building too influences the style of frame you choose. Modern bed frames with their sleek designs are naturally the choice of many who live in modern houses with modern architecture and modern décor. Nonetheless, they are not the only alternative.

It often seems that people choose the modern bed frames as if by default. In spite of the fact that its sleek designs are suitable for modern décor, you can try other styles too. However, if the room is small or if you prefer a clutter less neat look may be they are the only alternative. At the same time, because they are sleek it does not mean that they bland. They come in all sorts of designs, size, shapes and materials. Good quality timber or metal like wrought iron or aluminum is usually used to manufacture these frames. If you look for them, you can also find wicker bed. These are actually made from UV protected synthetic fibers woven around an aluminum frame.
Therefore, even if you go for modern bedroom frames, do look for different designs so that the one you choose actually stands apart from the rest and is capable of providing a unique character to the whole décor. However, all said and done, most of the frames, especially the wooden ones, comes in three distinct styles:
Platform beds are the ones, which are typically used without a bed spring.
There are also frames that have drawers under the bed so that the space between the floor and the bed is well utilized. They are often referred as captain' bed, box bed, chest bed or even cabin bed.
There are also waterbeds. These are actually ordinary beds with heavier and stringer frames so that they can hold the weight of the water in the mattress.
However, that is not all. There are so many other types. However, we will now talk about an old-fashioned bed that is now available in a new incarnation. We are talking about the canopy bed frames that have suddenly become very fashionable. It is actually a reincarnation of a four-poster bed that we see in museums and palaces only. Today these canopy bed frames come in two styles - traditional and modern, but the main features are always the same.
A canopy bed frame like its ancestor typically features four posts, one at each of its four corners. Earlier, these posts supported an upper panel, popularly known as the tester. The function of this panel was to hold the bed curtains. Earlier these curtains used to save the inmates from draughts, but with improvement of technology, such requirements became redundant and people began to opt more for beds without posts,
However, the tide has turned once again; the canopy bed frames have once again become quite popular. However, now instead of solid tester, cloths are often used to form a canopy over the bed. The posts in canopy bed frame generally extend up to four feet above the mattress. They are generally made from wood or metal. The traditional canopy bed frames have more ornate posts made either from metal or from wood. The draping too is more elaborate and is generally made from heavier cloth. The modern variety on the other hand more simplistic and the frame can be combination of wood and metal.
What sets modern furniture apart from the traditional counterpart is its minimalist design. Modern bed frames too are very unobtrusive, but not as unobtrusive as to leave no mark. That is where its success lies. A rightly designed frame will blend with the décor and yet will leave an impact. Visit the online shops for varied designs. These shops generally offer standard goods at discounted price. Just remember to allow shipping time. Otherwise, there is nothing to lose.
