A four-poster king size bed might seem like an extravagant purchase, but there is a lot of comfort and style that comes with it. From its sturdy frame and practical features to the attractive style and appearance that you can enjoy, there are many benefits to buying this type of bed for your home. However, how do you know which type of bed is going to be best for you? Considering all the different designs which are available, you might be struggling to find the ideal choice. Let's look at some of the common styles which are available for you to buy.

What are the most common designs of a king size four-poster bed?

Fully enclosed four-poster bed. The most commonly-seen design is the four poster bed which is completely enclosed within its frame. This has four tall posts around seven feet high and a 'ceiling' which goes across the top for the fully enclosed design. This is ideal if you are looking for something cozy for your bedroom and you want to feel like you are enveloped by your bed.
Four-poster bed without the top. This style is very much like the fully enclosed four-poster bed but doesn't have the top piece. This is a less expensive but also simpler version of this design. You can still enjoy the comfort and benefits of a four-poster king size bed without the top piece. One alternative option is to have a frame of the ceiling around the top of the bed – this is still very different from the design above since the hollow upper frame prevents it from being enclosed. This is a stylish yet simple design for those who want all the elegance of a four-poster bed but without the room feeling too cluttered and enclosed or like they have a bed which is too high or too large.

How to style with a four-poster bed?

If you want something very traditional that makes you feel like you've stepped right back into a medieval castle, consider a vintage four poster bed. An item which is antique or has been preserved down a generation or two can give your bedroom a huge amount of character while also giving you something to brag about! It was traditional to design four poster beds with a lot of ornate detail, so you will often find swirls, flowers, lines, dots, animals and other features engraved onto the frame.

Can a king size four-poster bed fit a modern bedroom?

A design which is very different from others you'll see, modern four poster beds are quite unique in their own way. While some designs are simple, there are more natural designs such as those which use branches to create elegant posts. A light pine wood is used for the bed frame, followed by matching colored branches for the four posts around the bed. This natural effect is created not only with the fact there are branches or faux branches being used, but also since the size and shape is slightly different for each one, going against the typical uniform designs which we are used to seeing.
