After a long day, your bedroom should be a relaxing retreat. A comfortable bed and a beautiful space can help you get good sleep and reenergize for the next day.

Surprisingly, a bed frame can significantly impact the comfort and the appearance of your bedroom. Use the following guide to find the perfect bed frame for your unique tastes:

Consider the Size of the Bed

First and foremost, be sure that you know the size of your bed before shopping for frames! It would be a regrettable mistake to buy a frame that is too small or too large. Or, consider upgrading your mattress, too, for more sleeping space. After all, a queen size bed offers each occupant 30 inches of sleeping space, while a king size bed has 38 inches of space.

Also consider the thicknesses and styles of your mattresses. If you've previously been using a platform bed frame, you may not have a box spring mattress. You'll either need to purchase a box spring or get another platform bed to ensure proper support.

Consider the Size of the Room

After determining the necessary frame size and style, take a look at the surrounding space. If your bedroom is on the smaller side, you may want a frame that makes the space look larger. Consider bed frames with exposed legs or slender features on the headboard to create an airy feel. If you have a large room, consider boxier, bigger bed frames to fill out extra room and create a sense of grandeur.

Consider Your Color Scheme

Next, take a look at other design elements of the room, including wall paint, rugs, tables, and lights. Decide what colors you want to enhance with your bed frame and headboard. For example, a room with red and yellow accents might be complemented by a warmer-toned wood color, while a cooler room in greens and blues might benefit from grayer, ashy-toned wood stains.

Consider Headboards and Footboards

Headboards draw attention to a bed and make it look more tied in with the surrounding furniture, making them extremely popular decorative elements. Choosing the right headboard can give your room a polished, inviting atmosphere. Footboards also add a regal touch to a room, but if your bedroom is smaller, you might want to skip this feature. Lacking a footboard allows you to sit on the end of the bed, so consider carefully before choosing to include one on your bed frame.

Consider the Height of the Frame

Finally, be sure that you choose the right height for your bed frame. If you have joint troubles, a lower bed might be more accommodating. However, a taller bed frame might keep smaller pesky pets and kids from jumping on the bed!

Choosing the right bed frame can be surprisingly tricky. Use these simple tips to choose the best frame for your unique style and needs!
