Your Luxury King Size French Bed
If there is something we know best, it’s French style beds, typically photographed in a king size during our beautifully staged photoshoots, it’s the perfect centrepiece for any room, and is easy to accessorise to your own personal style.
We have a king size French bed to suit any aesthetic you could long for: a gold gilded bed frame oozing opulence; a velvet upholstered bed frame for an added touch of comfort and style; or a chic king size rattan bed frame to create the cosy cottage bedroom of your dreams. We understand that purchasing a new bed frame is a considered investment, so head to our Ultimate Guide to Luxurious King Size Beds for more advice and tips on how to select your new king size bed frame, fit for a…well, for a king!
Styling Your New King Size Bed With Elegance
So, hopefully, after visiting our Ultimate Guide to Luxurious King Size Beds, you should have selected your perfect king size French bed frame. You may now just be wondering how you should style it! Below we will show you how to style a wooden bed frame with a bold look to emphasise the richness of the mahogany frame. We can then show you how to best style a velvet upholstered bed frame to suit the popular and relevant Modern Feminine trend.
For a bed which gives a spectacularly feminine look and feel that will rival any magazine’s “modern feminine” styling technique, we love the Soho Piped Pink Velvet Upholstered Bed. The soft curvature on the headboard complements the petal pink colour effortlessly, replicating the softness that the “modern feminine” aesthetic is renowned for. Develop this delicate and graceful look by adding fanciful frills, ruffles, and textures.
We are loving the juxtaposition between the velvet headboard and silver chrome studs with the sophisticated softness that our quality silk king size bedding provides. Envelop yourself in sumptuous grandeur with our Mulberry Silk Bed Linen by Gingerlily in White for the perfect cocktail of colours and texture.
Next, layer, layer, and layer again! Cast your eyes over our carefully curated selection of luxury throws for king size beds to choose a high-quality bedspread which suits your modern feminine style. We love matching the colour of the cushions on your bed to the bedspread, and we offer some gorgeous matching pillows and bedspreads! For a peachskin-soft feel, we have the Peachskin Quilted Bedspread in Oyster White as well as the matching Large Quilted Cushion Covers. Or, switch up the texture again with the staff-favourite Duchenne Smile Faux Fur Throw and a couple of the impossibly-soft matching cushions.
Add a handful of thoughtfully considered boudoir cushions et voilà! As a bonus tip to create your new and wonderfully feminine space, we love the pink florals and ruffles on the beautiful Windsor Stripe Ruffle Cushion; for a king size, placing just two cushions may make the bed appear quite empty! So, we recommend placing your chosen accent cushions in front of the bestselling Pair of Pleated Silk Pillowcases.
“Modern feminine” not your style? Not to worry, we have another trick up our sleeve to show you how to best style the Chateauneuf Rustic Rattan French Bed. For this style, we’re thinking jewel tones – symbolic of royalty, richness, and pure luxury. A king size bed as grand this one deserves to be styled boldly. The solid mahogany wood needs accessories which are just as deep in tone, so we are firstly styling the bed with a cotton white bed linen set such as the Apricity White Crinkle Bed Linen Set to provide a clean slate to juxtapose the navy with. Or, elevate the level of indulgence in your space by making the choice to switch to silk king size bedding, and enjoy the ‘hotel feeling’ you get when slipping into the sheets at the end of the evening.
If white bed linen isn’t for you, we love dressing the bed with linen bedding in king size for a rich texture. Using colour theory to layer with different shades of blue will enrich the space with a calm feeling, perfect for a bedroom space. Peruse our navy king size bedding to select the bedding set you wish to use for your styling base.
Once you have chosen your all-important king size bedding, you can start to have fun with matching different tones with different textures and patterns to create your desired look. We have made it super easy to choose your new cosy bedspread by size so that you can find your perfect luxury comforter in king size. We love layering the Apricity Dusk Blue Crinkle Throw with a patterned bedspread, such as the Sofia Blue Quilt.
Finish the look by adding your scatter cushions, and you have a abundant sea of calming blues. Our stylists are loving the new Mélange Velvet Cushions in Historic Blue for a timeless allure; place the sophisticated Ikat Embroidered Blue Cushions in front for an elegant appearance which will be sure to dazzle your guests!
