Neutrals are classic, chic and incredibly sophisticated, with plenty of opportunities to personalise for your style. Starting with a neutral bedframe will set you off on the right path. 

Interior trends can influence our furniture purchases, even though they tend to last less time than a quality piece. In fact, many designers agree that you should redecorate your bedroom every 3-4 years, but often a bed frame can last 10 years or more.

If you are looking for a new bed frame, considering a neutral bed will make it a timeless addition, no matter how your interior style changes. Let us walk you through some of our most popular and classic bed frames that can complement neutral bedroom ideas.

Isabella: naturally beautiful

Wooden bed frames are the perfect neutral centre-piece for your bedroom as they complement any style, from modern to vintage.

Our Isabella wooden bed frame is a simple but well-crafted design that evokes a feeling of minimalism and freshness. In your choice of two natural wooden finishes, it’s perfect for placing in any colour bedroom. Suited as an accent or statement colour against brighter shades, natural tones can make your room feel bigger, which makes it the perfect minimalist colour for bedrooms that don’t get a lot of sunlight.

Sana: timeless elegance

In a smaller bedroom, a storage bed is a great option. Our Sana ottoman bed frame is a modern take on classic glamour.

Sana features Chesterfield-inspired quilting and buttons, a winged headboard, plus handy ottoman storage. It’s available in a soft grey woven fabric, or stunning pearl velvet-touch fabric, so you can choose warm or cool tones to suit your style.

Neutral bed frames are a timeless and elegant choice without being bright or distracting. For a neutral bedroom décor, grey is one of the most popular colours, available in a spectrum from stormy dark to off-white, it complements any mood. For a neutral that’s been reinvented for the modern day, Sana’s pearl finish is eye-catching whilst retaining a classic feel.

Hopkins: ‘goes with everything’ style

With added comfort and luxury, a fully upholstered bed frame elevates any bedroom.

Upholstered in stylish woven fabric with a high buttoned headboard, our Hopkins bed frame has easily accessible ottoman storage. Pictured here in understated oatmeal, it’s the perfect neutral centrepiece for creating a timeless look in your bedroom. This is a great choice if you’re looking to create a warmer and cosier feel to your bedroom, especially with an off-white neutral tone, which is less stark than pure white.

Ellis: a modern classic

For a regal touch, a neutral grey sleigh bed frame is a truly luxurious choice.

These bed frames take up a touch more space because of the scrolled headboard and footboard, but these stunning features make a fantastic statement. If you like to keep your bedroom décor simple with accents of silver or a more vintage style, then a sleigh bed is the perfect centrepiece to build around.

Combining traditional Chesterfield style with 21st-century touches, our Ellis bed frame brings an opulent feel to your bedroom. Pictured above in neutral grey velvet-finish fabric, it has the eye-catching addition of beautiful diamante buttons on the headboard. This bed will keep your bedroom feeling beautiful and pull together any style, no matter how your design taste changes.
