At this time of year we tend to have the craving to completely change our bedrooms. To give it a fresh look, or a spring clean as some would call it. Quite often we like to reflect our personality or our surroundings, so if you feel that a ‘rustic’ look would suit your needs then follow these tips.
Firstly, choose your colour theme. If rustic is your desire then a non-descript colour is best. A pale cream, or a musty yellow will provide you with a base that you can then embellish on with your ‘rustic’ furniture.
There is nothing more rustic than wood, and pine beds are the epitome of rustic. At bedstar.co.uk they have a wide range of wooden beds to suit most needs
You can choose from a varying selection of sizes, including; small single, single, small double, double, king and superking sized. So no matter how small or large your room is, you can add a rustic feel with a wooden bed.
One of the reasons a wooden bed is considered rustic is that it stems back from days of old when everything was made out of wood and wood was a luxury. Another reason is the touch and smell of the wood. It is such a natural material that you cannot help but feel as if you are at one with nature. We naturally crave things that are close to our ancestry upbringing in the wilderness, so a wooden bed is a great way of expressing this.
Once you have your bed from bedstar.co.uk you can purchase other bits of furniture that match the bed. Try and keep the wooden theme throughout, and buying a similar tone of wood is preferable. This creates a unity about your room as well as bringing more of that ‘rustic’ nature in doors.
Finally, add some cream candles round the room and indulge in your little rustic nest. Recline in your comfortable wooden bed and feel like royalty. You will never want to leave.
The striking element in the “Oriade” bedroom furniture set is the wood finish. Called butternut, the wood has distinct vein marks which give it strong visual appeal as light to dark browns are streaked together in the wood grain. The shape of the bed frame and headboard offer curves which help compliment the rectangular shapes of the nightstand and dressers.
If you are looking for a cool shaped bed, the “Dylan” model is certainly worth a look. This bed comes from Cattelan Italia. At first glance it may appear to be a floating bed with the way it comes off the floor, but there are supports near the foot of the bed.

Well known and seasoned designers added some really elegant leather beds to the new collection from Poltrona Frau this year.
