Ottoman Bed Styling Tips For A Sleek and Modern Home

Finding the best way to style your Ottoman bed can sometimes be overwhelming, especially when it comes to understanding what aesthetic complements your living space the most. 

While our Ottoman beds are available in a variety of styles, fabrics and sizes, it can sometimes be difficult to know what accessories and styling ideas there are to ensure your bed looks and feels comfortable and modern in your interior. 

Fortunately, we have everything covered to help you further enhance the impact your ottoman bed will have. Whether you are looking to  refresh your current bed setup or looking  to purchase a new bed, we will break down the easiest ways to make your bed look cosy, sleek and modern in your home. It’s easier than you think.

Choose The Right Bed For Your Room

First of all, it’s important to choose the right bed size  to suit the size of your room. Whilst this may not be applicable if you’re not on the lookout for a new bed, it may just make you rethink your current setup. . The last thing you want is for your bed to feel either too imposing and taking up all your space or not big enough to cater for both your comfort and style needs. Luckily for you, we have a wide range of ottoman beds to choose from, so whether you’re styling your children’s bedroom, the guest room or your master bedroom, we have a size and style to suit your needs. Let’s take a closer look at each size…

3ft Single Ottoman Beds

For those with limited spaces or solo sleepers, our range of 3ft Single Beds are a great addition to apartments or smaller bedrooms. We know that storage can be tricky in small places, so using storage boxes and dividers underneath these small single beds can really free up more space, transforming the look of your bedroom and giving it the illusion of more square footage. 

4ft’6 Double Ottoman Bed

Combining both style and practicality, the 4ft’6 Double Ottoman Bed is highly sought after with it being a standard sized double bed. Its universal size makes it versatile, complementing many master bedrooms and even larger guest bedrooms. It’s just the right size for couples who want to snuggle up in bed together, whilst also having room for a variety of household items underneath. You won’t have to sacrifice any comfort or space with this stylish and modern bed.

There’s no better way to make a statement than having an impressive bed that looks sumptuous and irresistible to dive into. Suitable for large master bedrooms, these Super King Ottoman Beds will instantly make your room feel sleek and modern, especially with the convenient and vast storage space within the footprint of the bed. You’ll have a minimalistic, clean living space in no time. 

Choose The Right Headboard For Your Ottoman Bed

Now you know what size bed is the best choice for your bedroom, it’s time to explore your headboard options. Not only do headboards  add a sophisticated finishing touch to your bed, but they also serve a practical function as well.

Find The Right Colours

It’s psychologically proven that different colour schemes have a large impact on the mood and the atmosphere of your bedroom. From cool blue tones that refresh the living space and warm reds that add a romantic touch, to pastel shades that provide a calm and relaxing effect, colours can have a real impact when it comes to both the look and feel of your bedroom. 

For a refreshing touch, we recommend using lighter tones such as beige, which are inspired by Scandinavian interior styles. These lighter colours complement many home decor themes, as well as creating that cosy and inviting space that you want for a relaxing night’s sleep. 

Alternatively, for a warm and snug bedroom, we recommend using headboards that have darker tones, such as marmalade  or navy.
Choosing the right colour and shade will help to turn  your bedroom into a snug retreat that you can’t wait to enjoy night after night.

Explore Different Designs

No matter your home decor aesthetics and how you represent your personality throughout your home, we’ve got a headboard design to complement your style. There’s our traditional, yet timeless Chesterfield inspired headboards that add a refined touch to the bed. It’s a great option if you’re a fan of the traditional style and there’s no doubt that the high quality craftsmanship is sure to provide your bedroom with a warm, handmade touch. 

Or if the contemporary touch is what you’re looking for, we’ve got our vertical line headboards that give the illusion of a longer bed. Clean and minimalistic, it’s perfect if you want something a bit more modern to refresh your bedroom. 

The Perfect Fabric

Whether you’re going for a luxurious, warm feel or a light and airy space, our headboards can offer you the right aesthetic that you’re looking for to create a comfortable and stylish home. Headboards that are handcrafted from velvet for example, can completely transform your Ottoman bed into a Deluxe one, no matter the size. Plush and cosy, our velvet headboards are sure to make your bedroom feel warm and inviting.

For a soft and breathable bedroom space, we recommend styling your Ottoman bed with a linen headboard. This material allows air to circulate easier, making it a practical and sleek option for warmer climates. 

 

Choose The Best Accessories

To truly complete your bed’s style and aesthetic, it goes without saying that your Ottoman bed calls for a variety of different accessories. Once you have distinguished the bed size and headboard you need, why not take some inspiration from these ideas to add a finishing touch that’s sure to impress.

Elegant Bedside Tables

Complementing your new ottoman bed with some new, elegant bedside tables can really help to complete the look. . For a sleek, harmonious bedroom, we recommend styling your bed with a matching set of drawers or table to really tie everything together. 

Not only will a matching set of bedside tables help to elevate the impact of your ottoman bed, but they’re perfect for helping to bring your bedroom to life by displaying photos of your family, housing stylish bedside lamps and even a beautiful vase of flowers.

Choose The Right Bedding

Choosing the right bedding can completely transform the appearance of your bed, turning it from something simple into a cosy retreat you’ll look forward to sinking into after a long day. As the cooler seasons approach, we recommend styling your bed with plush throws and cushions to make it look and feel warm. 

One tip is to choose a duvet set that is a solid colour, so it can easily match with patterned throws and cushions that make great accents for your bedding, or vice versa. 

If you love minimal Scandinavian style living spaces, we suggest styling your Ottoman bed with earthy tones, with materials such as linen, cotton and bamboo. As the season changes, these are also lightweight and breathable materials that make great options for the warmer months.

Sophisticated Underneath Storage

Our Ottoman beds come with lots of storage space underneath, perfect if you want to hide away things you don’t want on show. The ample space lets you use it to your own benefit, but we’ve got some suggestions if you’re ever unsure. 

Your Ottoman bed isn’t complete without smart storage accessories underneath. One tip is to store shoes in breathable linen boxes for better ventilation, and they look neat when organised in tidy rows.  

If you’re into the rustic look, we suggest wicker baskets for a more organic feel. They’re trending all over the homeware scene, and they’re great ways to store anything from books, blankets and magazines. 

To keep your household items nice and streamlined, we also suggest stackable plastic crates or drawers. Available in different colours, they are stylish options and handy ways of keeping your things dust-free.
