Since the 17th century, solid oak has been a popular material for furniture. This can be attributed to its durability, stability and versatility, and in modern day, its likeness to many antique pieces.
Antiques are the epitome of luxury, and French Bedroom pieces are the antiques of the future. Transform your bedroom into a luxury retreat, using a solid oak super king size bed as your focal piece.
One of our customer favourites is the Love Story Taupe Velvet Buttoned Upholstered Bed, favoured for its solid oak frame and feminine headboard, upholstered with rich cotton velvet. A customer kindly left this review upon receiving theirs: “The bed itself is exquisite. The headboard is the perfect height to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning… very solid even with two small children messing about. I am absolutely in love with our new bed. So beautiful and elegant.” We couldn’t have put it better ourselves!
Owing to the aforementioned versatility, styling a solid oak bed is both fun and simple – and can be suited to your taste and existing décor to give your space a luxurious and calming feel, making every night feel like a holiday.
When choosing additional furniture pieces to complement your solid oak bed, choose other solid oak pieces such as the La Sérénité Bedside Table and the Love Story 3-Drawer Chest to provide ample storage for trinkets and clothing, creating a clutter-free environment. Build on this with a neutral palette for your soft furnishings, such as the Apricity Oatmeal Crinkle Throw and introduce pops of warmth with smaller items. We love the Mélange Velvet Cushion in Terracotta Peach, perfect for injecting a layer of Mediterranean sunshine into your room.
To make the most of your home retreat, introduce natural scents to stimulate your senses, such as natural flowers, essential oil burners or reed diffusers.
In keeping with the elements of nature, add plants to breathe oxygen into your space and maximise natural light by using sheer curtains or blinds to allow sunlight into your space, or add large mirrors to bounce light around the room.
These are just a few of the endless styling tips we have. If you would like any further advice, please do reach out to our dedicated team of stylists via email or phone.
