When you live in a small space, everything needs to be purposeful and intentional. Maybe you don’t have the money to buy expensive pieces or think that black or white furniture would work best. If this sounds like you, then buying a painted bed frame may be the perfect solution. Painted bed frames are also great for people who have lots of neutral accents and need something to stand out. They come in all shapes and sizes to fit any kind of bedroom or budget. With so many options available today, it may seem challenging to know where to begin when shopping for a painted bed frame. Want Mattress will introduce you to some of the most popular types of bed frames that are typically available in white so you can make an informed decision about which one is right for your space.
Before you buy a painted bed frame, it is important to know what you are looking for. You want to find something that is durable and sturdy, but that also fits the style and aesthetic of your space. Paint colours can vary so it is helpful to take swatches home with you to see what they look like in your space. When I’ve done this myself, I’ve been surprised how some 'white' finishes look more cream or grey once they’re actually in the room.
What to Look for When Buying a White Painted Bed Frame
For most painted bed frames, you’ll want to see that they are manufactured with sturdy and durable materials. Metal, wood and vinyl are extremely durable materials that can last for years in a bedroom setting. This makes them great options for painted bed frames because you can paint them in any colour and they will still be sturdy. You’ll also want to consider the style and design of the bed frame with the most common questions involving:
- 1. Does it fit the style and aesthetic of your bedroom?
- 2. Is it a style that will last for years?
- 3. How easy is it to assemble?
You also want to think about how the bed frame will affect your sleep quality. Namely:
- 1.How much noise does it make?
- 2.Will it cause any pressure points that could interrupt your sleep?
Lastly, you want to think about how you plan to clean the bed frame.
- 1.How often do you think you will be cleaning it?
- 2.Will its materials allow you to easily clean any spills or messes that might happen in your bedroom?
White Metal Painted Bed Frames
Metal bed frames are sturdier than most other types of painted bed frames. They are often manufactured with steel or aluminium which makes them perfect for heavy people or couples. You can find a range of designs and styles in metal bed frames, so it is easy to find one that works for your space. Because metal is a porous material, it often comes with a protective coating that makes cleaning it easy. You can use a simple damp cloth and a mild soap solution to clean the metal. If you have a more difficult cleaning job for your metal painted bed frame, you can use a vacuum with a soft brush attachment. In terms of noise, metal bed frames will be a bit louder than other types of painted bed frames, but it won’t be enough to be a disturbance for light sleepers. Sitting on the edge of a metal frame, I’ve found you can sometimes get a bit of flex or a creak if the bolts aren’t tightened properly, so it’s worth re-checking them after a week or two. Cleaning up is easy because metal bed frames are often powder-coated (in this case, white), which means they are resistant to rust and moisture.
White Wood Painted Bed Frames
Wood bed frames are a classic choice for bedrooms. Wood is an extremely versatile material that can be used to create a variety of different styles and designs, so it is easy to find one that fits the style and aesthetic of your room. Wood is also a natural and sustainable material, so it is environmentally friendly. Wood bed frames are very sturdy and durable, so they can last for years in a bedroom setting. They are also easy to clean and maintain, which is great if you are a messy person. Because wood is a porous material, it does require some extra maintenance, but it is easy to clean and keeps looking great for years. The only thing with painted wood is it can chip or mark if you knock it with a hoover or move it around a lot, and once it’s chipped it can stand out against the white. Wood bed frames typically don’t make much noise.
White Vinyl Painted Bed Frames
Vinyl bed frames are a great option for people who want a super durable bed frame that will last for years in a bedroom setting. Because vinyl is a synthetic material, it is extremely durable and can withstand lots of wear and tear. Vinyl bed frames are sturdier than most other types of painted bed frames, so they are great for people who are heavy or couples. Finally, vinyl bed frames are typically quiet bed frames. When I’ve run my hand over vinyl finishes in the past, they can feel a bit plasticky compared to painted wood, so it’s not always the best choice if you’re after that more natural look.
White Fabric Painted Bed Frames
Fabric bed frames are a unique and stylish option for those who want something a bit different and special for their bedroom and are typically available in many different colours and patterns so it is easy to find one that fits the style and aesthetic of your room. Because fabric is a synthetic material, it is easy to clean and maintain, which is great if you are a messy person. Fabric bed frames do require a bit of extra care and attention, but they are very worthwhile and make a beautiful addition to any bedroom. Cat’s who like to pluck materials might take a particular liking to this type of material and so exercise caution on purchase. Fabric bed frames can be a bit expensive, but they are definitely worth it for a more exclusive and premium look. Fabric bed frames are usually quiet bed frames.
