Four Poster and Canopy Beds
For spacious rooms or rooms with tall ceilings, a four poster or canopy bed is the perfect style. Add bed curtains to get a cozy room-within-a-room feel, or leave the frame naked for its sculptural appeal!
This is a contemporary take on the lit à la polonaise (“bed in the Polish style”) canopy bed popular in mid 18th century Europe. The style is characterized by the smaller (usually round) canopy held by curved arms, and originally elaborately draped.

Rattan/Wicker Beds
For coastal styles or for rooms in need of a bit of texture, nothing beats woven grass, wicker, rattan, or bamboo! These natural materials are trending big for the coming decade and mix well with so many styles and materials.
