When you think of the elements that tie a bedroom scheme together, your headboard may not immediately spring to mind. At French Bedroom however, we believe that a statement upholstered bed can be the pièce de résistance of a beautiful bedroom, elevating it from a space to a sanctuary. Read on to discover our stylists’ favourite luxury upholstered beds, and why they love each one.

Hunter Green Velvet Upholstered Bed

Our Hunter Green Velvet Upholstered Bed is for the statement seekers. The dramatic, cascading headboard is a visual feast, drawing the eye inescapably to this stylish piece. The plush green velvet is soft to the touch, transporting you to the forest - a powerful yet peaceful domain.

How we’re styling it

With white bed linen for a classic look that allows the green to take centre stage. Opt for a maximalist look by mixing different textures, patterns, and fabrics within your room scheme.

Why we love it

“I love the double dip shoulders that cascade from the headboard peak; plus the deep green velvet can easily carry an array of colour palettes. Green is the colour of the forest, it emulates the feelings of freedom we get from being in the outdoors and at one with nature, so it’s also a very calming piece to have in the bedroom.”
Jen, Head of Product Design & Development.

Windsor Garden Floral Upholstered Bed

For those who love floral prints, our Windsor Garden Floral Upholstered Bed is the ideal pick. The intricate floral pattern of roses, lilies and cornflowers is both elegant and timeless, while the undulating headboard adds a touch of playfulness to the design. This bed is perfect for those who want to add a touch of nature to their bedroom décor.

How we’re styling it

With matching printed cushions and complementary colours of sage green and petal pink, on a base of crisp white bed linen.  For a contemporary style, add silk bedroom cushions in a wide stripe. The texture will contrast nicely with the linen headboard and add an extra touch of luxury.

Why we love it

“The Windsor Garden Bed is an heirloom of the future; it brings charm and refinement to any space. It’s the kind of piece that will stay with you through the years, as you change your style or home. The kind of furniture that’s handed down through generations.” Georgia, French Bedroom Founder.

Tournier Garden Upholstered Bed

Inspired by lush green pastures and spring meadows, our Tournier Garden Upholstered Bed is one for the nature lovers. The undulating headboard is reminiscent of rolling hills and depicts bunches of spring flowers in bright uplifting tones of ivory and green. The perfect choice for those who want to recreate the feeling of sleeping in a summer garden awash with wild blooms.

How we’re styling it

With nature-inspired accessories in neutral and muted tones, to create a tranquil and relaxing bedroom space.

Why we love it

“It doesn’t sound like much, but in the age of fast furniture, I like that this is a British made bed. It’s handcrafted in the UK by skilled artisans, making sure every piece is unique and of the highest quality. The Tournier Bed is at the top of my French Bedroom wish list!” Sarah, Community Lead.

Love Story Taupe Velvet Buttoned Upholstered Bed

The soft and flowing headboard of our Love Story Taupe Velvet Buttoned Upholstered Bed was inspired by the curves of the body; shoulders, waist and hips. If you’re seeking a classic yet elegant design, this is the bed for you. The plush velvet is in a versatile taupe colour, and the deep button detailing gives a smart and classic aesthetic. A simple design that will sit with every style of room and choice of colour palette.

How we’re styling it

With natural wood furniture and complementary furnishings in organic and sustainable fabrics, such as linen cushions and a natural jute bedroom rug.

Why we love it

“This is such a romantic bed. The taupe upholstery reminds me of sandy beaches, walking hand-in-hand with a loved one without a care in the world. It’s no wonder we called the collection Love Story!”
Jo, Purchasing Manager.
