It’s time to stop using a moving box as a nightstand and it’s time to stop re-situating our mattress on its base every night. We are starting our bedroom THIS week and I’m committed to ordering a bed and a nightstand. A rug. A dresser. I want to do a make-under on the fireplace and get some art and proper window treatments–blinds with a remote would be a dream!
We’re calling this phase 1 of our bedroom and I’m putting together a mood board to share with you hopefully tomorrow! But today I wanted to share with you a bunch of bed options I’m considering. I think I’ve been a little paralyzed in pulling the trigger on a bed because of the pressure it has to be the bed. But here’s the truth–there are less expensive versions of almost every bed out there if you want to try a style on.
Or! Even if you do go in on a bed and after a few years, need a change–it’s OKAY. Move it to a different room. Sell it to someone that will love it. Restyle it (sometimes you just need a restyle.) I had to give myself a taste of my own advice and get out of my head that I have to choose a bed that I’m going to love for a decade.
Although that’s the ultimate goal, right now my goals are a little simpler–make our bedroom a relaxing retreat that feels like us. Here are a few beds that caught my eye:

The bed in the main picture is gorgeous, why use that photo if you have absolutely no information on it and it really has nothing to do with your story? Just sayin.
It was my inspiration. Linked the designer below the photo!
Hi! What is the paint color on your walls?

I can vouch for bed #11! It fits my space so well and is COZY af. Protip: Use a lint roller to keep the top of it clean! It gets super dusty.
I think I’m in love with #7! And that’s the first time I’ve ever said that about a piece of furniture…
What do you think – could this bed be used in a very minimalist home?
I always have the hardest time selecting furnishings for my home. I grew up with parents who were pack-rats (bordering on hoarders) – so when I got my own place I went in the opposite direction and became a minimalist. I’ve always liked the look of bohemian rooms with vibrant colors and fabric everywhere, but to be in a room like that makes me feel almost claustrophobic. I’m wondering if bohemian minimalist could be my personal style…
Hi, Check out these beds. I’ve always loved them. We stayed at the Henry Howard Hotel in New Orleans and they had them in their rooms. I feel like you might like these too. https://doormandesigns.com/product/julia-upholstered-canopy-bed-copy/
