Choosing the right bed for each space in your home is crucial since it's the main character of your bedroom. Beds become the perfect location to lounge, chill, work, sleep, study (and at times even eat), especially on holidays or work-from-home days. Making it important to choose the perfect type in accordance to not only your aesthetic, where you'll place it, but also what you need. 

Beds come in all sorts of styles, from contemporary to traditional designs each tailored to fit different needs and spaces. Here is what you need to know when picking the perfect bed, like frames, designs, sizes, storage options, and how to balance functionality with style: 

Frames: The frame sets the vibe for your bed, whether you're into that sleek modern look, the classy poster bed style, or the timeless traditional frame. Adding a headboard can give your bed some flair and be a comfy support for reading or lounging.

Design: Think about the overall look of your bed, from simple platforms to fancy upholstered finishes. While being able to match the aesthetic of your space beds should be able to be a place you can call home, essentially they should be simple and not too complicated or funky in design making them difficult for daily use. 

Size: Getting the right size bed is key, as it is the factor that will make or break your bedroom design if you put a king bed in a space where you can only accommodate a double bed then it becomes inconvenient, whereas if you put a single bed in a huge room that can accommodate a queen bed then your space will look incomplete, which is why the size of your bed is not just to get a good night's sleep but also to have a functional space be it day or night. 

Storage: Storage room in beds is a must, as these will provide a space to keep extra mattresses, blankets, pillows and basically anything extra in your house that rarely comes in use but is still needed. So consider a good amount of storage room in your beds to accommodate all your add-ons. 

Functionality: While aesthetics are pretty and all, functionality is key. Choose a bed that fits your lifestyle, whether it's maximising storage, hosting guests with a sofa bed, or chilling outdoors on a swing bed. Prioritising function ensures your bed is more than just a pretty piece of furniture.

When deciding upon a bed for your bedroom, the most ideal choice is either a queen bed or a double bed, with the only difference between the two being the size. Pick a queen bed if you have a larger room to spare, but a double bed also works just fine if you have a space crunch. You should go for a classic bed in your room instead of funky designs because this will be your space of comfort and essentially your home within your home, so it has to be accessible, comfortable and simple. You can experiment here with different designs and styles of frames and get one that fits your needs like this one with storage in the headboard from Pepperfry.
