We believe home design should be stylish and distinctive. The low-slung design and clean lines of a platform bed or richly-textured linen upholstery on a headboard are elements that help define a space, making it personalized to you. At Lulu and Georgia, our well-designed and thoughtfully-curated collection of beds and bed frames are perfect for your home, offering both elevated style and individual personality. 

Finding the ideal bed is central to establishing the look of your bedroom's aesthetic and a great reflection of your personality. To help achieve your vision, we have a selection that showcases multiple styles, scales, and upholstery options. The versatility of frames, fabrics, and colors lets you decide between timeless and tailored visual appeal or for a bolder, more dynamic direction that instantly transforms your bedroom. Plus, the thoughtful materiality and construction of each new bed frame reassure you of a long-lasting, heirloom-quality piece.

Seeking to buy a bed and not sure what style fits your look and home best? Don’t worry, we have got you covered. Check out a few tips below on inspiration when browsing, styling tips, and explore our line of statement-making and cozy beds & bed frames. 

Consider Your Space

Bedrooms come in a variety of sizes and styles. You may be styling a large master, a guest room, or a child's room or nursery. So, you will first have to recognize how your bed frame with headboard will fit into your space. Are you looking for a luxe statement-making piece meant to add a refined touch to your room? A cozy lounging space that lets you work, eat, or just lay in all day? Will it be paired with two nightstands for a classic and symmetric look, or is it meant to be placed next to a window with just a small side table bedside for a casual feel? However you decide, with our extensive new bed frame selection, you will always have a relaxing and top-quality optionto choose from.

The Importance of a Good Night's Sleep

You spend a third of your life asleep, so we understand you must take your time when choosing between bed frames too. The wrong selection can lead to aching muscles, a bad back, and obviously, a lack of quality sleep. Anybody who has ever slept on a lumpy sofa or a sagging old mattress will tell you the same thing: comfort matters. Not only can a comfortable bed help provide a more restful night’s sleep, but it can also relieve pressure points, align the spine, and help you wake up feeling revitalized rather than sore.

So, how do you choose the right bed? When it comes to mattresses, we recommend you either try them out or do an extensive amount of research before making the purchase. We are all different, and most mattresses are not a one-size-fits-all solution. Our requirements for support will differ depending on our weight and physique, so you need to be comfortable with your decision. 

With that essential step out of the way, you are free to consider the multitude of design choices that come with selecting a bed frame with headboard. Your bed frame will be the focal point of your room, so it's best to choose one that makes you feel peaceful and at ease.

Choosing the Right Bed for Your Dream Room

Do you want your bedroom to be the perfect dream oasis? There is no better way to ensure a deep and restorative night’s sleep than having the ideal bed. When it comes to outfitting your room, you will find countless beds online—but you should consider all your needs before zooming in on one option.

Along with its ability to tie the space together, your bed frame can also allow you to add rich color or show your creativity with eye-catching forms and materiality, like with the Kaira Poster Bed. When you buy a bed online, you need to consider several options. What is the aesthetic you want to foster for the bedroom? Do you want to complement your bed with tailored and timeless dressers and nightstands? Or are you happy to layer in an eclectic mix of styles? 

Whether the bed frame with headboard is for your master or a guest room, the right size, box spring, bed frame type, and material will all need to factor into making the right choice. Creating a soothing retreat is easy when you consider all these factors before you buy a bed. We are here to answer these questions (and more), so you can choose the focal point that effortlessly fits into your style. 

Headboard and Frame to Satisfy Your Mood

The design choice of your frame and headboard will decide other elements in your bedroom. They will determine the area rug, bedding, curtains, or room accents—from neutral shades to vibrant tones to intricate woven patterns. 

If you lean more towards vintage-inspired or timeless styles, you may want to consider traditional wooden bed frames with headboards, such as platforms or four-poster beds. When considering a color palette or finish, choose a deeper tone such as warm honey or a classic black. Or, if you prefer your bedroom to feel bright and airy, a light-toned fabric bed frame and headboard may be the perfect choice for you. We love this Deva Platform Bed in inviting talc, as its low-slung profile lends your bedroom a more spacious feel. 

Whatever you choose, make sure to measure your space before purchasing your bed and get your dimensions right. It will help you know what style and material you are looking for to narrow down your choices.

Statement-Making Materials

The material of your bed will impact the overall feel of your bedroom retreat. There are three main materials to consider when selecting a bed frame, but consider the way they interact and can be combined to form stunning beds and bed frames.

Wood

A wood frame is a simple and appealing way to warm up your space. They can be found in a variety of finishes—from contemporary to traditional with elegant details to neutral and minimalistic. One of our favorite looks is the dynamic and refined look of a woven cane-finished style, like this Hannah Platform Bed. One more added benefit of wooden bed frames is the ease with which you can match them to other bedroom furniture pieces to create a seamless room design. 

Metal

If you're looking to add unique visual appeal to your bedroom, a metal frame could be for you. It can be styled to create a cozy Scandinavian cottage feel, a vintage cabin-inspired room, or an effortlessly cool industrial vibe. The key element in common here is that a metal bed is distinct and eye-catching in its style, and lends itself well to minimal yet well-styled spaces.

Upholstery

Upholstered beds offer the biggest range of styles. They can be sleek and modern or very traditional with wingback designs and button tufting. Crucially, their headboards do ensure that they are as elegant as they are comfortable. In a vast array of choices in fabric texture and color, an upholstered bed frame with headboard is delightfully customizable. For example, bright colors and patterns can act as a focal point, while soft, neutral fabrics provide a peaceful and airy feeling that will coordinate with your other design elements flawlessly.

Considering the best color, fabric, and pattern allows you plenty of freedom to choose a style that complements your current room pieces, or gives you a helpful starting point when designing a new space. 

Curated Designer Collections

At Lulu and Georgia, we're proud of the company we keep. From up-and-coming makers to celebrated brands, we are excited by the relationships we have cultivated.

The collection beautifully blends its Victorian house inspiration with the fresh look and feel of modern California style. Our bestselling Lockwood Bed in harbor blue adds rich, soothing color to your room and refined mixed materiality with its plinth wood base.

How to Style Your Room with a Bed

The frame and headboard are just one step in styling your dream bedroom. You need to find soft and stylish bed linens and cozy throws or accent pillows to complement your bed. 

Although there are many choices to be made when it comes to styling a new bed frame, the next most important piece of the puzzle is the choice of bedding. A new duvet cover or quilt effortlessly freshens up your room with just that one simple change. Whether you choose stone-washed extra soft cotton duvets or go for luxe linen sheets, they both add a refined touch to your room.

For a comfortable and cozy look, throw blankets draped casually over the corner or at the foot of the bed are the perfect finishing touch. The added layer of a soft blanket can create a sense of contrast, or simply an added layer of warmth, depending on the season. Pillows are another crucial detail to completing the mood of your bedroom. Mix and match pillows and cushions in different shapes, colors, and textures for a contemporary look. Try adding velvet pillows to give your room a soft hint of texture as well as comfort.

Whichever way you decide to style it, remember that your bed allows you the flexibility to showcase your design aesthetic with little touches of nuanced design. If you are styling beds & bed frames for a guest room, loved ones and visitors can get a sense of what your vision is by seeing how you have utilized this foundational piece.

When you buy a bed online at Lulu and Georgia, you will find pieces that complement the style of your space, but also make it feel more elevated. Whether you are looking to find a statement-making silhouette to stand out in your room or a timeless and tailored piece, we have a selection curated by design style, materials, and sizes to choose from.
