Contemporary Metal Beds: Classic Elements are Refreshed and Renewed

There are many different sides to contemporary beds: you can choose from very sleek platforms or beds that are guaranteed to impress with their incredible fluidity. Many of today’s best manufacturers create thoroughly original, innovative pieces by incorporating the best features of traditional designs. You have the benefit of classic beauty as well as the chic sophistication of modern sensibilities.


A bed that encompasses both modern elements with soft classic touches is easy to find when you look through the offerings of manufacturers like Hillsdale Furniture. Their incredible Dominique Bed, for instance, features a sleigh design, which could easily date the bed. But Hillsdale updates this classic look with slender spindles with chic knob details. An antique gold finish manages to give the Dominique a timeless look, as well as one that is entirely fresh. Modern beds allow for a depth of style that will make your bedroom shine.


Contemporary metal beds don’t have to be all sharp lines and geometric designs: you can have the arches, swoops, curves, and serenity that you love and the modern twists that you want to update the look and feel of your room. What does contemporary mean to you? With great beds like the Dominique, it can mean simply beautiful.
