Four Poster Bed Photo

There's something so compelling about a four-poster bed. This one, especially, is demanding my attention. The ornate, carved medallions and the graceful turned wood extensions are classic, yet very cool, especially when paired with very modern Kartell Bourgie Lamps on the bedside tables, and a plethora of hip pillows. The owner of this bed has a hit HGTV show, and was recently featured in Read more

Cheaper Version of Anthropologie Canopy Bed

I love the romantic elegance of the Anthropologie Italian Campaign Canopy Bed ($1,700, queen-size frame). With a durable wrought-iron frame and a timeless beauty, it would be an incredible addition to any bedroom. However, given the fact that you'd have to pay close to $2,000 for a frame alone, by the time you outfitted the rest of the bedroom with mattress, linens, furniture, and artwork, you'd Read more

Does Your Bed "Float" in Your Room?

How to Position a Bed

In our home, the bed is tucked into a corner to preserve space, since the footprint of the room is decidedly small. Even if we had the space, I doubt that I'd be tempted to let the bed "float" in the room — that is, to place the bed so it isn't against any wall at all.

Wrought Iron Beds

Ever since I came across this beautiful Moroccan bedroom in interiors photographer Brian Park's portfolio, I can't stop thinking about traveling to Morocco myself to find that room . . . and take a nap in it. The starkness of the room, warmed up by the deep blue walls, is such an interesting contrast to the ornate, feminine bed; the overall effect is so peaceful and inviting. I may not be able Read more

Sofa Beds For Dogs

If you look at your dog's bed as a piece of furniture, you can take that view one step further with this Funky Dot Sofa Bed ($196 and up). While it doesn't pull out, it looks like a chaise for a furry friend . . . as long as your furry friend is less than 39-inches long. While I can almost picture this product in a kid's room, would you buy in if your only child had four legs instead? Read more
