Which Bed Would You Choose?

It’s the start of another busy week of sourcing items for new clients, new consultations with prospective clients, networking events and meetings with Sales Reps. Wheewww! Busy is good :-)

I am working on the master bedroom suite for a great client for whom I am decorating most of their home, plus an investment property they are having built.

It’s an exciting time for my business, especially when you get to work with wonderful clients who wholeheartedly trust your abilities to creating the home of their dreams. I will be sharing professional photos when all the projects we are working on have been completed.

In the meantime, I am curious to know, which bed would you choose for this master bedroom.

Here’s a little bit about the project

My clients observe Feng Shui principles, and so the bed had to be either metal or the color of metal. They loved the look of an upholstered headboard, but not necessarily the tufted styles. The bedroom had to be a great blend of feminine romance and a bit of masculinity. A low footboard, if any because the husband is really tall. They love clean lines and an uncluttered look with soft colors in the gray family.

The backdrop to this bed will be a beautiful metallic gray damask wallpaper on cork, in a very tone on tone color scheme. The wallpaper is a great mix of elegance, romance and a tiny bit of rustic…..exactly their style.

This king size bed, along with the wallpaper will be anchoring a very large wall that is over 21′ wide and 9′ tall. The bedding will be all white washed linen fabrics with a high thread count, and maybe 2 accent pillow shams pulling in the colors of the wallpaper. We are adding a long tufted bench at the foot of the bed. We are using two mismatched night stands – one is a large chest for his side and a vanity table for her side. A dresser will be facing the bed on the opposite wall and there will be a seating area by the windows. Of course window treatments will be added to complete the look of this master bedroom.

So, with all that said, put on your designer cap and tell us which bed would you choose to complete this master bedroom? Choose wisely :-)

We are just in the beginning stage of this master suite, but I will be sharing with you soon which bed we chose. And of course, pictures when it’s all complete :-)

Hope you all have a productive week!

  1. I was debating on the French inspired panel bed from Lexington or the rustic bed from Restoration Hardware. My choice would be the French inspired panel bed. I think the wallpaper has enough going on in it and the solid color of the bed frame will even out the look.

  2. Of the ones above I think the first one would be best for them–I personally like the canopy bed but it would be hard to surround the bed in fabric that does not clash with that beautiful wallpaper.

  3. I would choose the canopy bed because I just love them! There is something romantic about them to me. Based on what you wrote about your clients, I would go with the second bed you posted. Good luck! Can’t wait to see the finished products!

  4. The third bed with the bed post it looks like a princess bed. I would trow a white or some pale colored wrap around the polls to make it look more elegant. Plus it looks more expensive :)

  5. For them, the first bed just like kind of “feng shui-y” to me. For me, the last bed, the French style is romantic without being too sappy. For the other side of me (I am a split personality), the second, Lexington, bed – very sexy.

  6. I am really not good at design. I don’t like making a lot of decisions. I would love it if someone could just have everything picked out and ready for me when I am remodeling or choosing new furniture. Of the beds above, i love the rustic bed from Restoration Hardware. I look forward to seeing more about this project.

  7. I love the french inspired victorian bed. I like the older styles. They look more distinguished to me. Make your room look more rich in my opinion. They’re all nice but that’s my favorite.

  8. Too hard to choose! I love the design of the last one, it looks like a sleigh. But I’d want it with the overall style of the second one. Who am I kidding, any of them are better than mattress and box-spring on a boring rail shoved against the wall!
