If you’re looking to change up your bedroom décor or just want something new, you’ll certainly find that contemporary bedroom furniture looks much different from older bedroom suites. Gone are the boxy bed frames and footboards that used to be quite popular. In fact, many of today’s contemporary beds sit almost directly on the floor!
These beds, called platform beds, are lower than traditional beds. They often do not feature box springs, and many have no space under the mattress (thus doing away with cramming all the dirty clothes under the bed when company comes over!). Instead, they include low platforms for the mattress to sit on. Many of these platforms feature small end tables attached to the platform on either side of the bed so you don’t have to find low end tables that match.
Many contemporary beds feature back large headboards, some of which are up to six feet tall! These huge headboards are padded so you can lean back against them. This means you won’t have to try to get a pillow situated perfectly behind your back when you want to read in bed or watch TV.
Some platform beds do come with other bedroom furniture. These pieces of contemporary bedroom furniture, just like their more classical counterparts, create an overall look and feel to your room. These chest of drawers, dressers, and end tables often have a simple look to them. All are designed to match the bed without overpowering it, making certain that your bed is always the main focus of the bedroom.
