Dressing Metal Beds Up and Down


Versatility is one of the most important features that you can find in a bed, and when you choose from today’s impressive line of affordable metal beds from top manufacturers like Fashion Bed Group and Hillsdale Furniture, you are not only inviting an elegant piece of furniture into your home: you are inviting the freedom to update, refresh, and revamp your bedroom’s décor any time you like. The strong lines of these beds are undoubtedly beautiful – but their best quality is their ability to adapt to a variety of different styles.

With a bed like the Providence Bed from Hillsdale Furniture, you can easily change your look by simply changing your linens. Dressing your bed up or down can have a dramatic, and instantaneous, effect on your décor. For instance, you could emphasize the symmetry and clean lines of the Providence by having a very spare, contemporary look to your bedding. Minimal pillows and decoration will enhance the look. But you can just as easily soften it with loft comforters and accent pillows, which will provide beautiful contrast. You could contrast the deep Antique Bronze finish with crisp white linens or create a cozy feel by opting for rich jewel tones to complement it. No matter what you do, these contemporary beds will still shine.

Whether you’d call them destructive or just fun-loving and exuberant, there is no doubt that they can be hard on their belongings.

Metal Beds: Window Treatments to Complement Your Bed


Choosing one of today’s best metal beds from Hillsdale or Fashion Bed Group is a sure way to give your bedroom the style, serenity, and quality it needs to become a retreat for your weary body and mind. Once you have the focal point for your room in place, it becomes much easier to build your look. One of the best ways to do this is with your window treatments. Choosing curtains, blinds, or shades that complement the lines of your metal bed helps you enhance the beauty of both the bed and the surrounding décor.

When you save money with gorgeous discount metal beds, treat yourself and splurge on some terrific curtains. Spending a bit more on fabric helps give your room a look of luxury – but it won’t break the bank. Even high-end curtains, though, don’t have to cost too much. You can find excellent deals online, and if you’re handy with a sewing needle or machine, you can simply choose a piece of fabric you like and sew up your own panels. Look for sales at home stores and online, but don’t forget about discount stores. More and more, they are stocking higher end goods to appeal to thrifty, yet stylish, shoppers.

Treat Yourself to Fresh Flowers


If you are looking for ways to add a sense of elegance and style to your home, and do it very inexpensively, fresh flowers are the perfect solution. You can buy a bouquet for under $10 and have plenty of decorating fodder to work with, whether you want to dress up your discount bedroom furniture or make your dining room sparkle. These fresh blooms make much more of an impact on your home than they do on your budget. The best part about flowers is that they can be used in elaborate displays or single blossom glasses with equally stunning results.

You can use virtually anything that will hold water for a vase. If you have big blooms, like peonies, cut off the heads and float them in water for a terrific centerpiece. For a very bright, sensuous look, slice up several limes and lemons and put them in the bottom of your glass jar. Put flowers in for the quintessential, fresh summer look. While flowers do suggest spring and summer, they are also great for winter. Opt for white blooms with dark greenery, like a magnolia or a confederate jasmine. These give you that classy winter white look without the icy chill! You will be amazed at the difference a few dollars and a few blossoms can make.
