Sanford Headboard – Back-to-Basics Sophistication



Some things go with everything - the little black dress, a classic watch, the neutral walls of a home. Metal headboards can have that same ability, when given the chance. When graced with clean lines and basic styles, metal headboards can match seamlessly with any décor. The only challenge now? Finding the exact one you like best.

The Sanford Headboard is the embodiment of simplicity and sophistication. The matte black finish on the metal goes well with practically any interior design you may have. A contemporary headboard, it shows the trend in minimalist style, which if often considered better than styles full of embellishments and exotic details. The Sanford Headboard offers only what you need; two gently arched crowns supported by slender straight-line slats. Smooth and shapely ornaments punctuate both the tops and bottoms of the slats, adding just a touch of something extra to the design. Rounded finials cap the posts and soundly finish the piece. It’s a piece you will be proud to own and enjoy looking at every morning and every night.

The Fashion Bed Group takes pride in their creations, from the contemporary daybed to affordable kids beds. No piece is too insignificant for the most dutiful attention. The Fashion Bed Group backs their work 100% and offers a 10-year warranty with every item you purchase, a guarantee not often found anywhere else. With a team of innovative designers, skilled hands to find and best utilize quality materials, the company has become a leader in the world of fashionable beds.

Are Metal Beds Still Cool?



People can occasionally shy away from things they recall from childhood because it’s “kiddish” or “immature.” Metal beds and headboards are often one of those things. Many women recall light colors with pretty leaves and frilly designs on their models. Men often think about their seemingly cold and austere beds. With those images in mind, metal beds may not seem like interesting choices.

Until you have examined the current metal beds on the market, you haven’t seen anything. The styles and makes, sizes and types are all so different and unique in their own way, a little bit of browsing is likely to change your entire outlook on them. Sleek metal platform beds exude an ultramodern air. Daybeds shine during the day, ready to provide a good night’s sleep at any time. You can find everything from an elaborate metal canopy bed to a simple frame with a modern headboard.

Metal is glossy and smooth, bent into any shape you want, from sharp angles to smooth curves. It can be bright enough to glint in the sun or given a dull finish for an older or more rustic look. These days, it can be coupled with wood and other materials to add extra zest to its style. It can also be covered in a wide array of finishes to match any bedroom furniture in your room, ranging from gleaming ebony to mimicking new fallen snow, from gold straight out of the ground to liquid silver and everything in between. Searching through companies like Hillsdale Furniture and the Fashion Bed Group will show you the elegant strides metal beds have made over the years.

So, are metal beds still cool?

Absolutely.

Kendall Bed


Once again, Hillsdale Furniture has found an outlet for lovers of the Baroque period. For those anxious to display their affection for this celebrated era, they have created the Kendall Bed, among others. Since the bedroom is often one of the main rooms where one can get away with extravagant and romantic furnishings without coming across as “too much”; it is no wonder why it is here that so many take advantage of the opportunity to fulfill their decorating dreams of going beyond what is reasonable or rational. Of course, to stay within the confines of practicality, the bed is usually the focus area of lavishness, with the bed linens and accessories to follow not far behind.

One must remember that the bed is usually the first piece of furniture that someone is going to see when they enter the bedroom and is therefore the object that will make or break the intensity of what is intended to be expressed. The comforter might be brilliant and bold with vibrant colors and metallics, but if the bed itself doesn’t dazzle them, it is all for naught.

The Kendall Bed can definitely stand alone as an excellent example of classic Baroque style. It’s mimicking of the colonnades and domes so often used in architecture during this era sets it apart from any others that might be construed as similar to it. The dark slate matte finish blends well with any colors paired with it and the tall slender poles provide an overall sense of grandeur. This is definitely affordable bedroom furniture not be overlooked.
