Choosing Wooden Double Beds for a Rented Flat

Furnishing a rented flat means working within rules you did not set. You may not be able to drill, paint or move a radiator, and you could be packing up again within a year or two. A wooden double bed can still make the bedroom feel settled and personal, provided you choose it with those limits in mind. In this guide we explain how to read your tenancy and inventory before ordering, how to size a frame for a compact bedroom using external dimensions rather than the mattress label, and how to check a narrow stairwell or lift before delivery day. We also cover frame styles that cause the fewest problems for tenants, simple ways to protect the landlord's carpet from dents and scratches, finishes that suit neutral rental walls, and freestanding storage that avoids wall fixings. The result is a bed that works in this flat and will travel happily to the next one....
