Which designer bed style should you choose for your bedroom?
Our beds come in a variety of styles to suit the atmosphere you want to create. Minimalist beds feature clean lines, natural materials such as light wood or matte metal, neutral colours and an uncluttered look for a calming bedroom. Japanese-style beds favour light wood, low bed frames and a simple, open feel. For an industrial atmosphere, matte metal and bold, geometric structures add character. For a cosier feel, velvet and upholstered headboards create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Interior design trends for 2026 confirm the return of solid wood and natural shades. If you're looking for a statement piece, a luxury designer bed stands out with its premium materials and carefully crafted finishes.
160x200 designer bed: the ideal size for two
Three standard bed sizes are particularly popular: 140x190, 160x200 and 180x200 cm. The 160x200 designer bed has become a favourite among couples, offering plenty of space and excellent sleeping comfort for two people. Make sure to leave at least 60 cm of clearance on each side of the bed to move around comfortably. In a 12 m² bedroom, a 160x200 cm bed fits easily while maintaining this space. In smaller rooms, or if you need to accommodate additional furniture, a 140x190 cm bed leaves more floor space available. Another advantage of the 160x200 cm size is its compatibility with widely available standard bedding.
Designer storage bed: extra storage without taking up space
A designer storage bed features built-in storage space directly beneath the bed base. Depending on the model, this space offers a capacity of 200 to 300 litres, roughly equivalent to a traditional chest of drawers. Sleeping comfort remains the same as with a standard bed: the storage compartment sits beneath the bed base without affecting the mattress or its support system. It's an ideal solution for studios, small apartments or bedrooms without a dressing room. Different opening mechanisms are available, including lift-up systems, hinged mechanisms and front-facing drawers. These models come in a variety of finishes, including faux leather, velvet and water-repellent fabrics.
Designer sofa bed: two functions in one piece of furniture
A designer sofa bed combines two functions in a single piece of furniture. It's perfect for a guest bedroom, studio or multifunctional living space. Sleeping comfort varies depending on the model, with options suitable for everyday or occasional use. The conversion mechanisms are simple and quick to operate. With clean lines and a compact design, this piece of furniture makes the most of your floor space while fitting effortlessly into a contemporary interior.
Which materials should you choose for a long-lasting designer bed?
The materials you choose determine both the durability and style of your bed. A wooden bed frame, made from solid oak or walnut, brings warmth and lasting quality to your bedroom. Lacquered MDF offers a smooth, contemporary finish. When it comes to upholstery, velvet, linen and cotton feel comfortable to the touch and stand up to everyday use. Metals such as steel and brass are particularly suited to industrial-style interiors thanks to their strength. Pay attention to material density, panel thickness and the quality of the finishes. To care for upholstered surfaces, remove dust using a vacuum cleaner on a low setting and choose cleaning products suited to each material: a damp cloth for faux leather and a soft brush for velvet. Avoid direct sunlight, which can cause colours to fade over time.
How to coordinate your modern bed with the rest of your bedroom
Your bed sets the colour palette for your bedroom. To create a harmonious look, coordinate your bedding, curtains, rug and cushions. Choose bedside tables that are level with the bed base and complement the style of your bed. Lighting also plays an important role in the overall atmosphere, with bedside lamps and reading lights adding both comfort and character. For a Japanese-inspired or minimalist interior, opt for light wood, straight lines, an uncluttered layout and neutral colours. In a traditionally decorated bedroom, a contemporary bed can create a striking contrast. Choose premium materials such as velvet or solid wood to bring the two styles together.
