Faux Leather Beds with a Mid-Century Modern Twist

Mid century modern design has never really gone away. Its clean lines, slim tapered legs, warm woods and confident colours still feel fresh in British homes, and faux leather is a natural fit for the look. It has the smooth, tailored finish of the original upholstered furniture of the era, comes in warm tan, cognac, olive and black shades, and is practical for everyday use. In this guide we explore how to give a faux leather bed a mid century modern twist without turning the bedroom into a period set. We cover the frame details that signal the style, such as low profiles, channel stitched headboards and visible legs, the colours that work best, and how to pair the bed with teak and walnut furniture, globe and arc lighting, geometric rugs and graphic textiles. We also explain how to keep the result feeling current, so your bedroom looks considered and relaxed rather than nostalgic....
