Mahogany Beds

Mahogany beds have always been known for their classic styling. The reason for this type of bed being so popular we believe, is because of the strong nature of the wood that will last an eternity! At Wooden Beds we have noticed a slight incline in recent months for the mahogany bed and because of this we have started to expand our range. Mahogany beds have a wonderful red undertone colour that make a bedroom look warm and cosy. The colour is really inviting especially when coupled with the design of a sleigh bed. A mahogany sleigh bed features a high headboard and foot board and is usually finished off on the top rails with scrolls that give it a really majestic look. Mahogany sleigh beds were invented in the early 1800's and were inspired by the horse drawn sleigh – when made up with bedding and plush cushions etc. they really do make a bedroom look the lap of luxury! Mahogany bed frames have always been a joy to make by skilled furniture craftsmen due to its tight grain and the ease at which it can be crafted. Consumer-wise, mahogany is an excellent choice of wood to go for when purchasing furniture due to it's resistance to decay. The mahogany bed frame has been around for a very long time. The Spanish first discovered this beautiful type of wood in the Americas in the 16th century however, it didn't enter the realms of furniture design in Europe or the United States until the 18th century – around the time of the design of the sleigh bed! This wonderful type of wood has been used ever since this time in furniture making. There are many different designs and styles of these beds. Mahogany has always been a preferred wood in the design of beds and thats why we have so many different styles to choose from today! Mahogany can vary in what it looks like. It also stains very easily and due to this fact it is easy to alter the natural colour of the original piece of wood – which means you can make the wood look as light or dark as you want. Antique mahogany beds are still found today in auctions and antiques shops – this just shows that this wood is superior to many others and will last you a good while should you decide to buy one. Our fastest selling designs made from this spectacular wood are mahogany sleigh beds. UK sales have picked up somewhat lately as a recent run of home magazines featuring this style have come onto the shelves and are really inspiring our customers to re create the traditional, luxurious look of this beautiful bed!
