To ask you what bed would go with this?

[WileyStyley]

Sorry posting for traffic.

I want to do one bedroom with this purple damask wallpaper and white woodwork. But what bed would go with this?

I know dark wood would, like say a mahogany sleigh bed but that just feels a bit old person ish? Or would it look classic? What else do you think would work? Thanks.

I’d go for a grey velvet fabric

Something like this?

Unless you live in the house in the photo, this could look pretty dated.

My primary criteria for choosing a bed is - is it comfortable to sit & read a book. So grey fabric headboard could be good.

I'd go for something like this in ivory or white. I have an IKEA version of this.

I have a half-sleigh with a purple wall and it looks fab, even if I do say so myself.

Fabric beds are dust-traps and general absorbers of dirt and smells. I would avoid.

If you're going for the full stately home feel then got to be a four poster surely. And if you're not trying to look like a stately home then why are you having that wallpaper.

I’m going for the Georgian mansion look yes. (In a Victorian terrace). But hopefully not gods waiting room iyswim.

Thanks everyone really good ideas. Hadn’t thought of a metal frame. I do like the idea of padded velvet but accept the comment about practicality. Will have to think about that.

I just wonder if white would look a bit out of place on the bed, although it seems to look good on all the woodwork.

Thanks again.

That picks out the gold I see what youve done there!

Actually there would be a lot less white in mine as of course I don’t have the pillars so maybe a white metal or wooden bed wouldn’t overwhelm with white.

A yellow-toned wood like oak or yew would look lovely against the purple. And something quite solid, as it isn't an ethereal wallpaper:

Oooh @lidoshuffle - I have actually just bought that exact bed!

I have seen IKEA GJÖRA frame painted dark blue in a period property and it was stunning.

I think the white is a good call but I'd steer away from iron or anything flouncy. Smooth wood plain, painted would be good and lift the look to something more modern.

That’s brilliant thank you. Yes I guess I was asking how can I use this wallpaper in a bedroom but in a slightly modern way.

That needs a big dark four poster.
