Your bed is usually the biggest thing in your room and it often becomes the focal point. That is why choosing the right bed frame to match your bedroom decor makes a huge difference to the look and feel of your space.
Whether you are going for cosy and relaxed, bold and modern, or something in between, this guide will help you choose a bed frame that fits your room perfectly.
1. Start with Your Colour Scheme
If your room is already decorated, begin by looking at your wall colour, flooring, and furniture. Ask yourself:
- Do I want the bed to blend in or stand out?
- Am I working with warm tones, cool tones, or neutrals?
Matching Tips:
- Grey walls and wood floors pair well with stone or navy fabric beds
- Neutral walls look great with bold velvets or dark frames
- For colourful walls, go for a soft, neutral bed like cream, beige, or soft grey
Still decorating? Choose a bed first, then build the room around it.
2. Match Materials and Textures
Your bed fabric can add softness, texture, or elegance. Think about the feel you want.
Room Style | Suggested Fabric |
---|---|
Minimal or Scandi | Linen or Conniston |
Glam or Modern Luxe | Plush or Naples Velvet |
Rustic or Boho | Chenille or natural tones |
Teen or Kid’s Room | Faux Leather or Crush Velvet |
Mixing too many textures can look messy. Try to keep balance, for example, if your bed is plush and soft, go for simpler curtains and cushions.
3. Consider Headboard Style
The headboard makes a big impact on the room. Choose a shape that fits your vibe.
- Tall and winged: Great for modern or luxurious bedrooms
- Buttoned or studded: Adds a classic feel
- Sleek and flat: Works well in minimal or modern rooms
- Curved or scalloped: Softens a room with bold edges
If you already have wall art or bold wallpaper, choose a simple headboard so things do not clash.
4. Think About Storage Too
If you want storage but do not want the room to feel cramped:
- Choose an ottoman bed in a matching fabric to the rest of the room
- Go for drawers on one side only if one side is against a wall
- Stick to light fabrics in small rooms to keep it open and airy
5. Finish with Bedding and Accessories
Once your bed is in place, use bedding, pillows, and throws to pull the whole look together.
- Use contrast such as light bed, dark cushions or vice versa
- Repeat colours from the bed in artwork, lampshades, or rugs
- Try not to use too many patterns in one space
A well-matched bed frame can make a small room feel bigger, a cold room feel warmer, or a plain room feel premium.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What colour bed goes with everything?
Soft grey, stone, and cream are the most versatile options. They work with most decor styles and are easy to update with bedding.
Can I get a custom colour or fabric?
Yes. FunkyBedz lets you choose from a wide range of fabrics and colours to suit your exact taste.
What if my room is small?
Choose a light fabric, a low headboard, and built-in storage like an ottoman to save space and keep things tidy.
Should my bed match my curtains or walls?
Not exactly. It should complement them. Aim for contrast or texture rather than an exact match, which can look flat.
