How to Choose the Perfect Upholstered Bed for Your Bedroom Style

Finding the right upholstered bed is one of the most powerful ways to elevate your bedroom design. Since your bed is the largest and most attention grabbing piece in the room, the choice you make will determine the aesthetic, comfort and overall feel of your space.

At Funkybedz, every bed is handmade to order in the UK, which gives you full control over fabric, size, style and even storage. This guide will help you make the right decision with confidence.

1. Match the Bed to Your Bedroom Style

Your bed should enhance the look of your space rather than compete with it. Here is a quick style guide.

• Modern Minimalist: Choose clean lines, low profile bases and neutral tones like cream, beige or grey. Consider the tall headboard collection for a sleek hotel style look.
• Luxury Boutique: Opt for deep buttoned chesterfield styles, velvet upholstery and tall headboards. These designs add instant elegance and drama.
• Contemporary Family Homes: Consider soft fabrics, cushioned panels and practical storage options found in our ottoman storage beds.
• Scandinavian Calm: Go for light fabrics, soft simplicity and fresh warm tones that create a peaceful atmosphere.

2. Choose the Right Fabric

Each fabric offers a different experience. Here are the most popular choices.

• Crushed Velvet: Great for glamorous interiors with reflective shine and premium texture.
• Soft Velvet: A smooth matte finish that provides richness without being too bold.
• Linen and Chenille: Perfect for cosy, relaxed or minimalist rooms.
• Faux Leather: Easy to clean and ideal for practical homes.

3. Headboard Design Matters

The headboard is the centrepiece of your upholstered bed. Your choice can transform the room instantly.

• Wingback Headboards: Ideal for luxury and boutique style bedrooms.
• Vertical Panel Designs: Clean, modern and elegant.
• Chesterfield Buttoned Headboards: The perfect classic luxury option.
• Flat Plain Headboards: Great for minimalists and small rooms.

4. Decide Whether You Need Storage

If you want to maximise space, choose a storage bed. Funkybedz offers multiple options depending on your needs.

• Front lift ottoman beds ideal for everyday storage.
• Side lift storage beds great for tighter rooms where foot space is limited.
• Drawer storage options are available on selected frames.

5. Pick the Right Size

Your room size determines how much bed you can comfortably accommodate. Consider this quick guidance.

• Small Rooms: Double size is usually ideal.
• Master Bedrooms: King size or Super King provides the best comfort and visual balance.
• Guest Rooms: Opt for double or small double depending on space.

6. Colour Selection Tips

The colour of your upholstered bed influences the mood of the entire room.

• Neutrals: Cream, beige and grey work with any decor and are timeless choices.
• Dark Tones: Black, navy or charcoal create depth and luxury without overwhelming the room.
• Pastels: Blush pink, sage green and sky blue are perfect for calming cozy bedrooms.
