The Birth of the Sleigh Style
Classic, stylish, and a timeless choice, the sleigh bed is the centrepiece of many a master bedroom. But where did it come from? This bed can be traced back to the Empire style of the 19th century. With its emphasis on elaborate and sweeping curves – inspired by the ancient Greeks and Romans – this style was popular in the USA and France. With furniture starting to feature beautiful scrolls and curves, it wasn’t long before the humble bed was transformed and the sleigh style was born.
Sleigh Beds at Love Home Living
Despite its neoclassical origins, this timeless bed works well with either traditional or contemporary styling, so you can choose the perfect bed for your bedroom. Whether you’re after a wooden bed to create a classic, rustic look, or a white or grey sleigh bed to complement a vintage bedroom theme, Love Home Living has a wide range of beds to choose from.
Sleigh beds made from oak and mahogany are undoubtedly classics, and our wooden options will help you make your bed statement in style. Alternatively, perhaps you’d like a contemporary or upholstered bed, for something a bit different. We have finishes and materials to suit all interiors.
Stylish and Practical
At Love Home Living, style doesn’t preclude practicality. Many of our beds come with storage options so you can have your dream bed while also maximising space in your bedroom. The Kara Oak Sleigh Bed not only showcases the natural beauty of the wood but also features discreet pull-out drawers under the bed.
Like many of our beds, the Kara is available in three sizes, so whether you’re after a double sleigh bed, a king size bed, or a superking, you can enjoy a sublime sleigh bed in your perfect size.
Love Home Living even offers sleighs with low footboards, such as the elegant Clermont Mahogany bed. With its opulent finish, it’s a great choice if you’re looking for a classic wooden sleigh style and have specific height requirements.
Some of Our Favourite Sleighs
A recent addition to our sleigh collection, we love the Aurelia. This beautiful grey sleigh bed frame features carved legs and charming bun feet, and can be paired with matching cabinetry to complete the contemporary look.
If you fancy a bed with a hint of French style, look no further than our most popular sleigh, the Avian. Available as a double sleigh bed, a king size sleigh bed, or even a superking, the solid-oak Avian has a warm, smoky grey finish and makes a wonderful focal point for your master bedroom.
For a sumptuous upholstered bed, our Chelsea Chesterfield won’t disappoint. Hand crafted to order, this luxurious bed features a scrolled and buttoned headboard and footboard, and is available in 29 fabric colours.
