Side by side twin beds aren't just for children's rooms or '50s era couples anymore. They are a smart way to maximize your space allowing you to accommodate extra visitors and establishing an eye-pleasing symmetry in any bedroom.
There are four ways to make a twin bed totally stylish. One is the frame you choose. Of course a great option for kids is the bunk bed. Layering your beds against one wall really frees up space for a desk, dressers and play. A simple pine platform frame creates a great space for kids that can easily adapt as they mature into their own style. After they leave the nest, a few tweaks will transform it into a perfect place for grown up guests.
Bed Headboards Metal
Often an easier way to accent a twin bed is with a decorative headboard. Available in an endless array of styles, shapes and materials a headboard can really make a bed inviting. A fiery red microsuede number with brass button borders adds decorative punch to any room. An eco-savvy sea grass one lends beach house appeal. A heavily detailed wood number in creamy white and complete with pinecone knobs on the bed posts is great for a country chic look. Or go for a French look with a curvy, tufted-velvet one and you'll transform your bedroom from drab to steamy silver screen boudoir.
You can even make a bolder statement when you add a footboard to the mix. Make a mood-setting statement with a head and footboard set. Go for eastern enchantment with a majestic mahogany set painted a rich black and detailed with elaborate fretwork. It makes sleeping even more of a luxury. Yellow painted iron arches bestow an old-fashioned feel while a sleek and airy silver metal number with a crisscross motif is most assuredly modern. Try a warm white set with spool detailing for a bit of Americana or one with an invitingly supple shape straight from a fairytale, but finished in an edgy black to keep it from being too girly.
Still not convinced of the versatility and style there is to be found in a twin bed or two? Well how about creating a room within a room by topping it with a canopy? Beyond just the traditional arched canopy there are several compelling styles. Transform your bedroom into a tropical retreat with ah metal number finished to look like wood fastened together with rope. Go for the industrial look with a rugged, handcrafted steel beauty and add on-the-spot architecture to your room. A white squared -off frame with scalloping at the base will fill any room with a certain flair white a delicate wrought iron birdcage style canopy defines a space without overpowering it. Draped in sheer fabric it becomes a sensual hideaway.
The possibilities are endless when you choose to finish your guest room with twin beds instead of one large bed. Not only can you accommodate more guests, but you can add a symmetrical style to your space making it slumber party ready for all ages.
