Beds

You can’t put a price on a decent night’s sleep. And choosing the right bed for you is the most important place to start. Design Storey’s selection offers stylish solutions for all needs and budgets.

Vivienne Bed Soho Home

This is just a great bed – that’s all. The pleated velvet detailing and the pretty sage green colour. It’s made to order and will take about four months to come, but if you love it you’ll be able to wait. Also comes in cinnamon, honey and indigo. If this is the year you need a new bed then do consider it. A classic style with a modern twist.
LOFT Mila M&S

A simple bed that comes in single or king and a choice of blush, teal or grey. The legs will make the room look bigger as you will see the floor underneath - try not to fill it with junk! I know you will but think of the feng shui.
Buisseau Oak/Cane Bed La Redoute

It has to be said that all those velvet beds can rather dominate a space, so if you want something a little less demanding then cane is a good way to go. This has good detailing around the headboard and won’t look like a giant tanker landed in the middle of the room.
Luna Grey Velvet Bed Graham & Green

I rather like this mix of wood and velvet, although I have to say it might be helped by the stripy linen bedding in the photo, which is the perfect contrast with the luxurious headboard. So often a successful scheme is about the juxtaposition of materials - bring down the luxe with a bit of rustic or amp up the rustic with cashmere and velvet.
Bergen Oak Bed Cox & Cox

A good example of bringing the unexpected in. This style of bed is usually made of metal and belongs to the retro hospital/boarding school look, but in wood it’s a different thing. Lighter than velvet, less fashionable (by which I mean more classic) than rattan, this is a rather beautiful, yet minimal bed. Bring the contrast by piling on heaps of patterned bedding - try Society of Wanderers.
TEMPUR® Horton Ottoman And So To Bed

Another gently curving headboard, but this time it’s a storage bed. Undeniably useful but as it sits flat to the floor the overall effect is much heavier and will fill the room more than a bed on legs. The key is to use it for bedding and stuff you actually need and not treat it as a black hole for all the stuff you don’t need but can’t quite bring yourself to throw away. I speak from experience. I no longer have a storage bed.
Boston Upholstered Bed And So To Bed

This bed looks like it’s floating which feels exciting and also tricks the eye into seeing more floor space, so the room looks larger. And on a practical note, you can reach the Hoover further underneath, too! The bedhead is very plain but means you can sit up and read without catching your hair in any buttons or curlicues. Starts at double, rises to Emperor.
Biface Headboard La Redoute

Not such much a bed as a storage solution, this is a great idea for those with a divan bed as well as small bedrooms where you might have the length but not the width - meaning there isn’t enough space for a bedside table. It’s white but with a tin of Rustoleum you can paint it any colour you like and it’s self assembly so you can leave off a back panel to allow a plug socket to come through. This would work really well in front of an unused bedroom fireplace, of the sort that often compromises layout.
Hoxton Four Poster Bed And So To Bed

Shall I namedrop? I shall. This fabulous bed was bought by Professor Green after he messaged me saying he wanted a four poster and asking where he should look. I sent several suggestions and he picked this one. Before you panic, think of the cost per sleep equation and about spending a third of our lives in bed and go from there. Plus, it might make you feel like a rock star and we could all do with a bit of that.
