From Boring to Boujee How to Style a Bed Like a Pro

Your bed is the biggest thing in your bedroom. If it looks flat, messy or forgotten, the whole room feels the same. The good news is you do not need an interior designer or a massive budget to fix it.

Styling a bed properly is about layers, proportions and choosing the right base. At Funkybedz, we build beds in Yorkshire that are designed to be styled beautifully and used properly. Let us show you how to turn your bed into the main character.

Start With the Right Bed Frame

A beautifully styled bed always starts with a solid frame. If the base looks cheap or tired, no amount of cushions will save it.

A quality bed frame adds structure and presence instantly. Upholstered frames soften the room and give you a luxury hotel feel at home.

For drama and height, wingback bed frames draw the eye upwards and make even small bedrooms feel grand. Chesterfield styles bring timeless confidence without shouting for attention.

Choose Bedding Like You Mean It

Thin, tired bedding makes a bed look unfinished. Good styling starts with proper layers.

Begin with fitted sheets that actually fit. Add a flat sheet if you like a polished look. Then layer your duvet with a cover that feels good and looks intentional.

Neutral colours work brilliantly as a base. You can always add texture through throws and cushions without overwhelming the space.

Pillows Are Not Optional

One pillow is practical. Four or more is stylish. The trick is balance.

Start with your sleeping pillows at the back. Add two larger cushions in front and finish with one or two accent cushions. Keep colours calm and fabrics tactile.

This simple setup instantly makes your bed look fuller and more inviting.

Use Storage to Keep the Look Clean

A boujee bed means nothing if the rest of the room is chaotic. This is where storage becomes essential.

A storage bed lets you hide spare bedding, clothes and anything else that clutters the room. When the mess disappears, your styling suddenly works.

Our ottoman beds lift smoothly and store a surprising amount. You get style on top and sanity underneath.

Let the Bed Breathe

Overcrowding kills good styling. If your bed is jammed against every wall with furniture squeezed around it, the look falls flat.

Give your bed space where possible. Even a few inches makes a difference. This helps the frame stand out and keeps the room feeling calm rather than cramped.

In tighter rooms, a side lift storage bed gives you storage access without needing extra clearance.

Add Texture Not Noise

Boujee does not mean busy. Texture does the heavy lifting.

Think soft throws, quilted covers and upholstered headboards. Mixing textures keeps the room interesting without overwhelming it.

A chunky knit throw folded casually at the end of the bed works wonders. Casual but deliberate is the goal.

Make the End of the Bed Work Harder

The end of the bed is often ignored, but it is a styling opportunity.

An end of bed bench adds structure and gives you a place for throws or cushions during the night. It also makes the bed feel finished and considered.

In small bedrooms, it can double as hidden storage without taking up extra space.

Lighting Changes Everything

Harsh lighting flattens even the best styling. Soft, warm lighting makes textures pop and colours feel richer.

Bedside lamps with warm bulbs create a cosy atmosphere and highlight the headboard. Avoid cold white lighting unless you enjoy interrogation room vibes.

Keep Surfaces Calm

Minimal bedside tables help your bed stay centre stage. Stick to the essentials.

A lamp, a book and maybe a mug. That is it. When surfaces stay clear, the bed styling feels intentional rather than chaotic.

Quality Is the Secret Ingredient

The reason hotel beds always look better is simple. Quality.

Strong frames, proper mattresses and well finished fabrics make styling easier because everything holds its shape. Funkybedz beds are handcrafted in Yorkshire with this exact principle in mind.

When the base is right, everything else falls into place.

Why Storage Beds Make Styling Easier

A stylish bed needs room to shine. Storage beds remove the visual noise that ruins good design.

Our gas lift storage beds allow you to store bulky items out of sight without effort. That means no boxes, no piles and no distractions.

Styling is about what you see and storage controls what you do not.

Styling a bed like a pro is not about copying trends. It is about choosing a strong frame, layering with purpose and keeping the room calm.

At Funkybedz, we believe a bed should look good and work hard. Built in Yorkshire, designed for real homes and styled to impress without trying too hard.

Because boring beds do not belong in beautiful bedrooms.
