 Whatever your style, a wooden bed is the perfect choice for any bedroom. Classic, traditional or contemporary, a solid wood bed will last for years, a timeless piece of furniture to hand down through the generations. Often hand-carved and constructed by skilled craftsmen, each wooden bed is unique.

Easy to maintain, wood matures and improves beautifully with age, just an occasional polish with natural beeswax will enhance the colour and patina.

There are many different types of wood to choose from when deciding on a style of bed, such as ash, mahogany, pine, oak and teak. Lighter, paler woods like oak and ash are often used for more contemporary and simple modern styles, looking their best oiled or waxed to bring out the natural fine grain. Mahogany and teak are naturally redder in colour and are well suited to being stained darker with a high sheen, either using wax or a shellac varnish.  These two woods suit a chunkier, rustic look, with a stunning depth to the wood, they often look very dramatic.

The environmental impact of de-forestation is something to research when buying a wooden bed.  Most furniture manufacturers will have environmental and ethical policies in place, whether it is to recycle, use sustainable plantations or use reclaimed wood.  A reclaimed wooden bed can be a unique focal point to any bedroom, conveying a real sense of history.
