Sleeping Beauty

When I was growing up my favourite fairytale was Sleeping Beauty. It wasn’t the story itself that fascinated me but the beautifully illustrated images of Sleeping Beauty’s bed. It was illustrated differently in every version that I read but it always featured beautiful carvings, drapes and feminine painted colours and shapes. Ever since then I have been jealous of Sleeping Beauty and always dreamed of having my very own fairytale bed that would be comfortable and elegant and transform me into a princess.

Well...I’m still not a princess and I don’t live in a turret at the top of a castle but my love for sophisticated, luxurious beds still remains. With such a vast range of bed styles to choose from I have narrowed down some of my favourite ‘fairytale inspired’ painted beds that would transform any bedroom into a luxurious boudoir.

Our fabulous white painted sleigh beds are made from the highest quality solid mahogany and hand finished with several coats of crisp white paint; these gorgeous beds add a sense of romance and elegance to your bedroom. With intricate scrolled arms and carved bracket feet this bed is exquisitely designed to create a relaxed and sophisticated atmosphere in your bedroom. What I love about these beds is that they come with a choice of a high or low foot board to accommodate all styles and tastes.

For a truly elaborate, grand bed frame our palatial French beds come in a range of sizes and styles that create a sumptuously regal ambiance in any bedroom. Carved from solid mahogany and taken from authentic antique designs they are a breathtaking centrepiece to your classic, elegant boudoir. Our heavily carved beds are available in black and white for simple classic styling or gold and silver leaf for an over the top flash of luxury and glamour.

Our classic French style upholstered beds are covered in an indulgent champagne silk and styled in a traditional button design to add an authentic royal touch to your furniture. These statement beds would not look out of place in a grand stately home or royal palace. The beautifully carved and painted bed frame with its delicate fluted legs make this bed a simple yet elegant design that creates the perfect balance between glamour and practicality.

Simple elegance and classic designs are essential in creating a fairytale bedroom that is both luxurious and comfortable. I may not be the princess that I dreamt I would grow up to be but that certainly doesn’t mean that I can’t indulge in some fairytale glamour for my home. Who needs wicked stepmothers, poisoned apples and haunted forests!  I have my palace (house), my Prince Charming (husband) and my elegantly designed princess bedroom with all the sumptuous and exquisite regal touches that a girl could wish for. So who is jealous now? Eat your heart out Sleeping Beauty!
