What to look for when buying a brown bed frame
When buying a bed frame, there are a few things to look out for. You’ll need to decide on the type of frame you want, You’ll also need to think about the design, size and shade of colour. You’ll also need to decide on the size of the bed - if you’re replacing a bed frame, you’ll know the size you want. If you’re buying a new bed frame, you’ll need to measure the space where you want to place the bed frame. Finally it is always considered wise to think about the design that best suits your home and bedroom. You can find a wide range of styles and designs when it comes to bed frames as you can choose from wooden, metal and upholstered designs. One thing I’ve found is that darker brown frames can show dust and scuffs more than you’d expect, especially around the foot end.
Brown bed frames: different materials
There are lots of different materials you can choose when purchasing a bed frame and it can be important to make sure the materials are high-quality and durable. You’ll want to ensure that your bed frame will last you a long time given the fairly high costs associated with the purchase. I always give the side rails a little wobble test, because some cheaper frames can creak or flex more than they should.
Before you buy a bed frame, it’s important to check the materials used. Here are some of the most common bed frame materials that you can buy in brown:
Wooden Bed Frames - A popular choice among homeowners. Wooden bed frames are available in a wide range of different finishes and designs, which means you can find one to suit any room. Wooden bed frames are a great option if you want a warm and inviting look in your bedroom and almost exclusively come in some form of brown when unpainted and unfurnished. We prefer Oak over pine when it comes to choice, though your own decor will largely determine the type of wood desired. Pine can mark and dent a bit easier than oak, so it’s not always the best shout if you’re hard on furniture.
Fabric Bed Frames - Available in a wide range of different designs and finishes, these are a great option if you want a stylish and contemporary look in your bedroom that looks timeless, with good quality textiles used for an elegant and classy finish. The downside is fabric can be a bit more of a faff to keep clean, and lighter brown tones can show stains or wear quicker.
Metal Bed Frames: These are super durable and long-lasting and come in a wide range of different finishes, which means you can find one to suit any room and design. Metal bed frames are a great option if you’re looking for a stylish and modern design, although choice in the brown colour scheme may be somewhat more limited, we didn’t find too many. Also, some metal frames can feel a bit ‘tinny’ if the slats and fixings aren’t great quality, so it’s worth checking how solid it feels once it’s built.
