subject: If You Want A Touch Of Luxury In Your Bedroom You Need Look No Further Than Sleigh Beds [print this page] There's probably only one thing better than a sleigh bed and that's king size sleigh beds. They are impressive pieces of furniture in their own right and in the right setting with complimentary dcor they can look absolutely stunning. Sleigh beds are not a modern style although you would be forgiven for thinking they were. In fact sleigh beds have been around since 1850 when they originated in France in the Louis Philippe era of French furniture. The French name was actually Lit Bateau beds which translated means boat beds and very often the styles were highly ornate.
During the same kind of period in America the beds became very popular and they gave them the name of sleigh beds. Sleigh beds do come in all sizes from single to king size sleigh beds so regardless of your room size you will find a bed to fit. The particular style of these beds with head and foot boards are particularly sweet in the single versions for girls rooms, a white painted finished single sleigh bed can look really girly and nice. A more masculine style of sleigh bed would be one with a leather look or real leather head and foot board and these come in many colours to suit any dcor.
King size sleigh beds are the height of luxury if you have the space for them. The size of the bed allows you to really pull out all the stops and use plenty of cushions and throws to create a very seductive sultry look. Adult bedrooms need to reflect the occupant's personalities and a sleigh bed can be in a room shared by male and female and look unisex. Sleigh beds are probably some of the biggest beds you will get and they can be a huge feature in a bedroom but often that is exactly the look you want.
We primarily use our bedrooms for sleep so the bed should be the main piece of furniture. Sleigh beds are comfortable and offer a lot in the way of stunning looks so they give the best of both worlds.
