Painted Wooden Beds

Painted wooden beds have become very fashionable in recent years and can bring a really bright, fresh look to a bedroom that is looking somewhat dowdy!  Painted furniture started to appear when the renaissance spread throughout Europe during the Jacobean era around the 17th century.  Since then at various times, a painted wooden bed frame has become a much sought after style.


Protestant groups across Europe normally avoided anything that was seen as fancy (painted wood) as they didn't agree with a lavish lifestyle, however, when protestant groups such as the Shakers settled in America they took examples of painted furniture across with them and from that point onwards began to design their own simply shaped furniture such as the painted wooden bed.


Shaker style has always been a top seller in the bed trade due to the beautiful clean, simple lines of the designs.  White beds are the most popular colour of our extensive painted wooden beds category.  After Shaker style, shabby chic furniture comes a close second and this couldn't be more different as this style of painted bed tends to feature ornate mouldings and materials such as rattan basket weave.


Wooden bunk beds have always sold consistently well through the UK and it's now really refreshing to see different colours of these come onto the market.  On the Wooden Beds website we now have an extensive range of bunk beds that are finished with durable white paint.  With one of these models, your child's room will be brightened up in no time at all!


A wooden bed that is painted in a light pastel colour such as white will most certainly lift any room.  When the paint on the bed is finished nice and evenly it reduces the prominence of the bed itself and allows the eye to focus on whatever colourful interiors and bedding that you have selected for your heavenly bedroom!  White wooden beds are the perfect example of this as they fit into just about any possible colour scheme.


The opposite of the smooth even finish would have to be the shabby chic style painted bed.  As a general style, most of these beds are painted then randomly rubbed all over removing parts of the paint here and there – this creates a distressed look to the furniture.


Painted beds come in many different sizes depending on what you are looking for.  If the bed is for the children's room there is a huge choice of single wooden beds.  Should the bed that you are looking for be for a spare room or main bed room then the ones to look at are small double (4ft)bed, double wooden bed or king size double bed.  If you are looking for the biggest size that you can find as you want maximum space to sleep in then we even have super king size wooden beds that are painted in the styles above!


Most of the beds in our painted wooden beds range will be delivered to you by a two man carrier who will take all of the items to the room of your choice.  Should you need any more information about any of our painted beds then please drop us a line – we will be really happy to help!
