How to style your upholstered sleigh bed

An upholstered sleigh bed has plenty of style and looks incredible on its own, however, it can still be tailored to highlight its features. Try these ideas below:

  • Keep it minimalist by using just a touch of neutral colour. This Moss chunky knitted oatmeal throw gives a bed a hint of warmth, without cluttering up the bed.
  • Simple crisp, white sheets are ideal for giving your room a clean and fresh feel whilst showcasing the structure of the bed.
  • The beauty of the sleigh bed is all in the detail. Avoid floor length covers; keep quilts and duvets no longer than a few inches on each side.
  • If you want to add some texture, choose cushions with subtle colours, so as not to overwhelm the bed. This cream Stellan cushion offers a subtle texture and adds just the right amount of warmth.
  • Pair with French style curved furniture such as these gorgeous Willis & Gambier bedside chests. Their ivory colour and intricate detailing, work beautifully with an upholstered sleigh bed.

Adding just the right combination of glamour and elegance to a bedroom, the upholstered sleigh bed is a design that works in a classic or contemporary décor. Discover more of our extensive range here.
