When it comes to stylish snoozing, the best beds for 2022 have got you covered - in more ways than one.
With everybody spending more time at home, there’s been a huge shift towards turning our homes into a personal sanctuary where we can relax and switch off from the stresses of the outside world. And the bedroom is a vital part of this restorative transformation.
Your bed is at once a design focal point within the room, as well as needing to be an inviting piece of furniture that you simply can’t wait to crawl into at the end of a busy day. Practicality also comes into play, particularly in short-on-space rooms where storage is premium.
One expert at KING Living says: “For us, effective storage solutions are a prerequisite for a functional, orderly and practical bedroom. A storage bed will help you steer clear of additional furniture like cupboards and chest of drawers– in turn freeing up more floor space. Ottoman beds with generous built-in storage compartments are an ideal fit for large and small bedrooms alike and are always popular options amongst customers.”
When it comes to trends, this year will see an influx of calming colours connected to nature, like blues and greens, as well as rich, sumptuous fabrics like velvet for cosiness and glamour. The earthy, organic trend (think raw, organic textures like linen, rattan and reclaimed wood) will also reign supreme in the bedroom department.
So, whether you’re looking for relaxed boho, clean-lined and minimal, reclaimed and rustic, or decadent and luxurious, we’ve rounded up the best beds for 2022 below. Dive in, sleepyhead.
