Size matters
Whether you are breaking up with your beloved bed for a newer model and design or have recently moved and are designing your new bedroom space, when you purchase your brand-new rattan bed frame, you’ll want to begin with deciding on the size that your bedroom will allow.
Not all rooms allow for an emperor sized bed frame, but it is generally known that, when it comes to beds, bigger is better! A larger-sized bed will generally provide you with additional and much-coveted space to sleep easier, longer, and achieve a better-quality sleep (especially when sleeping with a partner and/or pets!). A super king rattan bed will provide the space for glorious Sunday mornings spent in bed with your partner, as well as ensuring enough space for the children to jump in, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed first thing in the morning! An additional foot of space makes all the difference when talking about comfort.
All of our bed frames are built to the standard UK size, you can refer to the mattress size guide as well as the bed frame size guide to retrieve the dimensions that you require. All measurements included on our website refers to the tallest, longest, or widest part of the bedframes so that you can measure the space prior to purchasing to guarantee your heavenly and highly anticipated new rattan bed frame will be the perfect fit for your room!
Colour me rattan
We have always adored the sustainable and versatile nature of rattan beds, which is why we have different rattan collections for you to be able to choose your new bed frame from.
If it’s a cottage-chic, rustic and romantic feeling you are wanting to emanate in your bedroom, our first choice will always be the timeless Chateauneuf Rustic Rattan Bed. With its weathered frame which appears to hold generations of stories and tradition, to the dark yet mysterious colour which we love styling with additional layers to add depth and texture, it’s no wonder this is one of French Bedroom’s best-selling rattan bed frames.
If you desire an elevated, painted rattan bed frame, look no further than the contemporary but classic Normandy Rattan Painted Luxury French Bed, also available with a stylish low footboard. Famously featured in the critically acclaimed Ted Lasso series, as well as BBC’s series, Fleabag, this is a beautiful modern take on the ancient art of hand-weaved rattan furniture. We love styling this elegant rattan bed frame with crisp, white sheets and a luxurious throw – keeping the attention on the intricately weaved rattan which has been kept in its original colour to juxtapose between the painted frame and the natural qualities of the wicker.
For a dramatic look, opt for either a white rattan bed frame or a black rattan bed frame. By choosing a dramatic, monochromatic colour, you free up space to have fun with adding texture through different materials for bed linen, as well as choosing playful designs on your bedspread.
Comfort above all When it comes to rattan, the question on everyone’s lips are: but is it comfortable? Can I sit up in bed and watch old movies on a sleepy Sunday with my morning coffee?
