Traditionally, a bed consists of a bed frame, a mattress and box spring, and maybe head and foot boards. But that time-tested definition is starting to change in a fairly significant way as more and more people turn to platform beds instead. These sit lower to the ground and have a more contemporary look and feel, and they don't require you to buy a box spring to go along with your mattress. But s...
Much of interior design is modernizing - streamlining shapes and simplifying design to reflect the more casual contemporary lifestyle. But if there's one space where
opulence reigns - and rightly so - it's the bedroom. A good ...
Typically, pet beds are one of the unfortunate necessities of pet ownership. Most dog mats or foam cat beds aren't exactly the most attractive things, but if you don't want Fido or Fluffy sleeping on your bed, sofa, or favorite recliner, you more or less need to offer them a soft, squishy alternative. But never fear - not all dog beds have to look like big fluffy door mats, and not all cat beds ar...
When you don't have a lot of space to work with, choosing the right furniture for your patio or deck can be a real challenge - especially if you use the space both for hosting guests and for soaking up a little sun by yourself. The best furniture for a crowd is definitely not the best furniture for lounging (and vice versa), and in a smaller back yard, you might not have the luxury of bei...
Decorative headboards have always been a go-to way to help enhance and define the style of your bedroom, but in the past few years, headboard styles have been trending bigger, bolder, and much showier. From

In honor of yesterday's discussion of
multitasking furniture, today I want to give a nod to maybe the most derided (yet important!) of all dual-purposed furniture: the sofa bed. Now, these aren't exactly popular, for more reaso...
In a bedroom, one of the few places you can really get creative with your design is with the headboard. Sure, bed frames, linens, paint, and other furniture are important, but almost always the headboard is the focal point and centerpiece for the space. This has been especially true lately, with headboards trending larger and larger - not just tall and wide, but even taking up the full wall behind...
Have you ever gone to decorate your bedroom and realized something felt missing despite having all the dressers, beds, and other furniture you need to make the room complete? As the title suggests, perhaps what you really need to tie your bedroom together is a
headboard; but don't go picking just any piece of wood that you can attach to y...
Not every apartment, condo, house, or home you live in is going to be perfect. You might not have as much space as you'd like to start with, and that's
before you put furniture in the rooms. But just because you have a small
bedroom doesn't mean you have to abandon your big design ideas. Here are four ways to make your space feel less c...
Sometimes you want to go low-key. Sometimes you want demure decor that blends together seamlessly, never overtly announcing itself. And sometimes you want decor that makes itself known. Decor that shouts. If you're looking for the latter--sumptuous and unrestrained--look no further than
Polrey, makers of antique replicas an...
