How to Pair Metal Beds with Bedding Sets

The easiest way to pair a metal bed with a bedding set is to let the frame finish guide your colour choice, then pick a pattern scale and fabric that suits the frame style. A black frame gives you the widest freedom, white suits soft and fresh schemes, and brass or gold works beautifully with warm, rich tones. Because metal frames are open and slender, the bedding becomes the main source of colour and softness in the room, so choosing it carefully makes a noticeable difference. In this guide we explain how to coordinate colours with different metal finishes, how traditional and contemporary frames influence pattern choice, which fabrics feel best and how to make sure the duvet and pillows are the right size for UK mattresses. We also cover layering a bedding set with throws and cushions, how deep mattresses affect the look of a frame, and ways to refresh the bedroom each season without buying a new bed....
