A result of the French and American Empire period of design, the classic sleigh bed sports a large curved foot and headboard, which gives it the shape of a sleigh. But modern designers have done away with the ornate to ensure it becomes an organic part of contemporary interiors. Combing aesthetics and ergonomics, here are 50 sleigh bed inspirations that promise to keep you warm and snug even as winter chill starts to set in…

Bringing Home Textural Contrast
A gorgeous sleigh bed crafted in beautiful wood not only looks majestic, but it also instantly lifts the appeal of your bedroom by adding texture and intricate pattern to the setting. Sleigh beds are available in a variety of wood finishes and you can also opt for a more traditional wrought iron bed, in case your bedroom needs a hint of metallic charm. From rich leather finishes to plush upholstered fabric surfaces, there are plenty of options on offer. Since most contemporary bedrooms seem to be dominated by glass and concrete, the exquisite sleigh bed lends a lovely visual and textural balance to space.

Redefining the Classic Look
Most of us tend to assume that sleigh beds only come with expansive and curvy headboards and footboards and look like they have fallen right out of a Hollywood periodical. But that is nothing more than a stereotypic misconception and just like every other decor and furnishing, sleigh beds have also evolved leaps and bounds in the last century or two! Modern sleigh beds come in a variety of forms and designers have reinterpreted the classic look to create the perfect beds for sleek and minimal homes.

Curvaceous Form and Comfy Appeal
While the modern designs work brilliantly for some, there are those who prefer the characteristic sleigh bed outline combined with ingenious modern finishes. Bringing together the best of both worlds, these beds incorporate unexpected fabric detailing or cool neutral colors that give the beds a modern makeover. Luxurious fabric like velvet further adds to the glam factor of the sleigh bed and is a perfect addition for a chic girls’ bedroom. While some sleigh beds clad in a dark wood finish anchor a room in light, muted tones others with upholstered padding and tufted headboards add softness to the space.

When it comes to designing a bedroom, the bed must squarely be the focal point of the room and the sleigh bed accomplishes this with ease. Affluent, opulent and surprisingly urbane, pick one that suits the theme and the style of your bedroom the best. And as you draw closer to Christmas each year, maybe you can even add some ornaments and a bit of tinsel… Though finding nine reindeer will not be all that easy!
