When doing a bedroom remodel in your home, the bed is usually the most boring part of the room and the only accents for it is the comforter, duvet, and pillow shams. If you would love an awe inspiring look for the room then 4 poster beds can bring back that needed character and appeal that has been lacking in your bedroom interior theme. With or with out a canopy these beds have adorned the bedrooms of kings and queen, dictators, and presidents all over the world for centuries. Fortunately, today we do not have to wait six months for a master craftsman to build us one as they did a few hundred years ago.
These beds command that you purchase the matching pieces to finish the room, as this is a formal look that would look out of place with anything less than the matching dressers, chests, and nightstands that can be purchase with the bed. As always-good quality, bedroom furniture is an investment, so make sure you can live with it for ten or twenty years down the road. They can last even longer if you care to have them refinished when the stain and lacquer finish starts to look worn.
Depending on what part of the country you live in, a new fad of creating an outdoor sleeping area is becoming quite popular, and 4 poster beds would be the perfect addition. You can use colored mosquito netting that matches your décor in combination with the cloth canopy material to keep those flying bloodsuckers at bay while slumbering under the stars and the moon. They make specific beds for outdoor bedrooms, but you can get a furniture refinisher to apply some weatherproofing clear coat to the wood to prevent it from becoming faded or stained from moisture.
As these beds are usually very heavy, it is best to pay the up charge and have the delivery driver and helper assemble the frame for you. There are two varieties of this bed scheme, and the one with the true oversized posts and huge wood globes topping off each corner, has a more masculine look and feel, where as the other type has a three dimensional frame making a box out of the bed can be more on the effeminate side, with the fabric canopy installed. This is great if you are single, but a compromise will have to be drafted for married couples so they can both be happy with this form of sleep furniture.
