Modern townhouses bring their own challenges when it comes to choosing a bed. Bedrooms are spread over several floors, staircases are often steep and narrow, and rooms vary from generous principal suites to compact top floor spaces under sloping ceilings. The right wooden double bed has clean lines, a slim frame, a headboard scaled to the room and parts that can be carried up the stairs without trouble.

We then look at matching the bed to each floor, choosing styles that suit contemporary architecture, and working with the light in different parts of the house. We also cover positioning, storage, lighting, large windows and noise on timber floors, as well as how to create a sense of continuity from one bedroom to the next without every room looking the same, perhaps through a shared wood tone or palette....
