The 2026 Bed Style Playbook Every Bedroom Needs

Welcome to the official Funkybedz playbook for 2026. Bedroom style continues to evolve each year and this time the trends feel bold, confident and personality filled. No more boring grey spaces. No more flimsy furniture. This year your bedroom gets a glow up that feels cinematic, soothing and practical all at once.

At Funkybedz we spend every day in our Yorkshire workshop designing handcrafted frames that look stylish and feel luxurious without the premium price tag. So we have gathered the biggest design ideas, colour shifts and bed styles that will shape the year ahead. Consider this your complete guide to what is in, what is out and what will keep your space looking modern for years.

Rich Fabrics and Tactile Textures Take Over

Fabric is everything in 2026. Bed frames with soft tactile finishes are leading the trend because they instantly elevate your room and create an inviting feel. Plush velvet and textured weave fabrics remain firm favourites since they give depth and warmth. Upholstered frames offer that luxury hotel vibe which never goes out of style.

If you want to explore premium fabric choices, have a look at our Fabrics Guide which lets you compare tones and textures for your new frame.

Tall Headboards Are The Statement Piece of the Year

Bedrooms in 2026 love drama and height. Tall headboards with sculpted panelling or deep button finishes add instant wow factor. These designs create the look of a boutique hotel and help anchor the entire room. When styled with cosy bedding and ambient lighting, your bedroom feels like a true retreat.

Wing inspired frames are having a major moment. Explore striking designs within the Wingback Bed Frames collection for a bold and elegant finish.

Storage Beds Become The Real Hero of Modern Living

Storage is entering its golden era. With homes getting smaller and clutter becoming the enemy of calm, storage beds are no longer a nice to have item. They are now a stylish essential. The best part is that the newest designs look incredibly sleek so you enjoy a modern bed frame with hidden storage that helps you reclaim your floor space.

For maximum space saving power, check out our Ottoman Storage Beds. They offer roomy storage and a smooth lifting mechanism. If you prefer specific lifting styles there are End Lift Storage Beds and Side Lift Storage Beds to suit your layout.

Colour Trends You Will See Everywhere

This year colour choices are rich, grounded and restful. Bedrooms are shifting away from the all grey look toward palettes that feel warm and comforting. Expect to see more deep cocoa brown, warm sand tones, soft olive, midnight blue and muted blush. These colours help your space feel cosy without darkening it too much.

If you do prefer a lighter palette, earthy creams and linen inspired neutrals still feel timeless and pair beautifully with premium upholstered bed frames.

The Rise of the Modern TV Bed

Technology is stepping into the spotlight in 2026 with modern TV beds becoming one of the most requested bedroom features. These frames allow you to hide your screen inside the foot end which keeps the room tidy and stylish. With a simple button press the TV rises smoothly which feels premium and futuristic.

Our TV Beds and TV Beds with Storage bring a cinema like experience to your sleep space while keeping your room looking clean and clutter free.

Minimalist Footprints With Maximal Comfort

Modern bedrooms are leaning toward simplicity. Furniture with clean lines and clutter free design creates a calm energy that helps you unwind. This does not mean boring. It simply means choosing pieces that look intentional and feel comfortable without overwhelming the room.

A great example is the Funkybedz Bed Frames range where you can explore simple silhouettes that still deliver a premium look.

Organic Shapes and Soft Curves Take Centre Stage

Curved edges continue to dominate interior design trends. Rounded headboards and soft shaped panels create a welcoming feel that balances modern style with a sense of comfort. This trend pairs beautifully with textured fabrics and layered bedding.

For a smarter and more sculpted take on curves, the Chesterfield Bed Frames collection offers timeless detailing with contemporary appeal.

The Return of Luxury Mattresses Designed For Real Sleep

Your bed frame is only half of the story. In 2026 people are investing more in mattresses because real sleep is trending. Supportive layers, cooling materials and proper body contouring matter more than ever. Couples are also looking for motion control so every turn is not felt across the bed.

If sleep is a priority for you, explore our Mattress Collection which includes Pocket Sprung Mattresses, Memory Foam Mattresses and Orthopaedic Mattresses.

Matching Accessories Complete the Luxury Look

Bedrooms are becoming more styled and polished. Accessories such as benches, ottoman boxes and layered throws help achieve the curated designer appearance. The secret is choosing items that match or complement your bed fabric for a seamless flow throughout the room.

For example, our End of Bed Benches and Ottoman Storage Boxes offer comfort, style and useful storage all in one.
