For bedrooms which have the space and the height, four post king size bedroom sets can look great. The master bedroom of many houses is normally large enough to house a four poster bed. Since it is such a large piece of furniture, it can be costly to buy and challenging to install and settle in the bedroom. Getting it right the first time is vital if you don't want to waste any time, money and energy. Here are the things you should think about before you buy.
There are various types of four-poster bed frames. A frame shapes the whole appearance of the bed, so it's an important aspect to consider.
One variation is the full king size four-poster bed. This has four posts – one of each of the corners – and a full roof over the top of the bed. This has a vintage or medieval look and is great in the largest of bedrooms.
Another style for the frame is the simpler full four-poster bed. This has four posts, but around the top there are horizontal beams that connect onto each one. This is the ideal way to make the bed frame look full, but without the extra weight and cost of the full roof.
Finally, you can opt out of having anything over the top of the bed frame, leaving just the bed and the four posts. While this can look slightly empty, it is a stripped back way of having this four-poster bed style in your room.
We'll consider some of the most popular colors which are available for four-poster king size beds. This will help you to determine which is the best color to use for your bedroom.
- Brown: A natural wooden look for four-poster king size beds will ensure that the room is fairly neutral and able to fit in with other items of furniture. You can choose either a lighter wood, or the more common darker and stronger woods such as oak and hardwood.
- Black: This can look more modern than the brown wooden beds, since brown is the traditional color used through history for four-poster beds. Matte black is a toned down look for your bedroom, while a glossier black will suit a bedroom which has other glossy bedroom furniture.
- White: A popular color for all types of bedroom furniture, and equally common for four poster beds, white or cream are great neutral colors to use. It is a much lighter and softer color than either brown or black, and if you want to add extra depth, you can use patterned and bright bedding.
Cleaning a four-poster bed can be a challenge. You should ensure that you have suitable detergent for cleaning wood, and invest in a step ladder so that you can reach the top with ease.
