A Beauty of a Bed Frame

After sharing the plans for our bedroom redesign, I promised to speak a little more on one of the biggest design decisions we made…the bed frame. Because Ryan and I were lucky enough to receive a King mattress, it was time to search for the right frame to fit it. Here was my list of things I needed to consider:

  • style – I wanted something to mesh well with our existing pieces. Ideally, it needed to be mid century or Scandi styled, minimalistic and simple
  • material – because of our wood nightstands, I wanted to vary the texture. My ideal bed frame would need to be soft…a linen was what I was originally imagining
  • colour – again, it needed to blend well with the space since we weren’t planning on doing a full redesign. Neutral was key…
  • function – with a busy toddler and two big dogs who like to cuddle, I was on the hunt for a bed that could withstand a lot of commotion

And so with those items at the back of my mind I spent hours searching the world wide web, truthfully getting a little discouraged because of shipping costs or the lack of availability in Canada. It’s not the first time that’s happened and it certainly won’t be the last.bed frame, Article bed frame, Culla bed frame

And then I went back to what is now starting to feel like an old friend – Article. And it was a no brainer. As soon as I saw the Culla bed frame I got excited. It ticked off every item on my list – the right mid century style, a soft tufted headboard in a neutral colour and white wood that would definitely be solid!

And then there’s the fact that I already know Article is super dependable when it comes to delivery and there are no surprises with a flat rate shipping fee of only $49. Bonus; they’re a Vancouver based furniture brand! My Canadian design heart rejoices!! I even opted to have them build the bed frame and it was AHHHmazing! Note: this is a $169 upgrade that they offer in their delivery services and I highly recommend it. bed frame, Article bed frame, Culla bed frame bed frame, Article bed frame, Culla bed frame

Now, after living with this beauty of a bed frame for a few weeks, I can tell you I am not disappointed with my choice. The combo of fabric and wood actually ended being better than a full linen frame because of how much my dogs shed. I would have been constantly vacuuming the sides and footboard and that was one of the reasons I wanted to ditch the bed skirt so badly from our previous bed. The fur builds up so fast around this house! And I love that the style of this piece fits in so well with our other furniture and decor. It really was the best choice for a simple refresh!bed frame, Article bed frame, Culla bed frame bed frame, Article bed frame, Culla bed frame
