Please note, this blog contains out of date information, as we no longer offer painted beds. If you’re looking to paint one of our beds yourself, please do get in touch with us to discuss the potential of ordering a sanded bed; ready to be painted.
If you are looking for a bed to create a focal point in your bedroom, look no further than our range of colourful beds! A ‘CHOOSE YOUR COLOUR’ bed or a lacquered hardwood bed will not only allow you to make a bold interior design statement, but also creates a bed unique to you.
Our ‘CHOOSE YOUR COLOUR’ range allows you to personalise your bed base. Matching the longevity and strength of our solid wood bed bases, but with a feature MDF headboard available in any colour. These bed frames are made from either solid oak or walnut. Complemented by a lacquered panel available in the colour of your choice! To order your colour, simply supply us with a swatch of paint or a RAL or Pantone reference. If you’d prefer a fully painted hardwood bed, just contact us! We’d be happy to quote for an opaque, coloured lacquer finish for most of our bed designs.
See below for more details on our ‘CHOOSE YOUR COLOUR’ bed bases. Plus, we answer the most common questions asked by customers interested in our more colourful beds….
Modelled on our popular Sahara and Tibet bed bases, these colourful beds are available in either oak or walnut. The Sol and Tao offer a contemporary design in addition to an eye-catching headboard. The chunky rails and legs of the Tao show off the solid timber perfectly. Plus, they offer the option to contrast the warm oak or deep, rich tones of walnut with a bold colour choice. The Sol, with its lower headboard and slimmer legs, is the ideal choice in smaller rooms or where a lower height is preferable.
Similar in design to our Kulu bed base, the Koo platform bed boasts a minimal, Japanese inspired design. Again, the Koo is available in either oak or walnut and, with its low profile, is the perfect loft bed. The wide headboard also allows for a real impact to be made with your colour choice. Moreover, the hardwood tables give a sleek, contemporary feel to the design.
This is by far the most popular question we are asked about this range. There really is no limit to the colours available to you. You can either pick from a Pantone or RAL chart, or select your favourite Farrow and Ball shade and we will match it on the headboard. If you are unsure of which colour to pick, or find it difficult to make an accurate choice through colour options shown on a website, we can also arrange for a Farrow and Ball colour chart to be posted to you.
In order to ensure an ultra even paint finish we use MDF for the headboard panel. MDF is a durable, stable material which gives a flat, completely even result.
If you want a hardwood bed with an all over solid colour lacquer finsh, we recommend a solid beech bed. The beech takes the lacquer well, the grain is unobtrusive and – unlike pine – troublesome knots are generally minimal. Call us (0114 272 1984) for a quote and to discuss your options.
Under-bed drawers are available for both the Sol and Tao. We can add an MDF panel to the front and side of the drawers to match the headboard colour if you prefer or you can choose from our standard Tibet and Sahara drawers with their hardwood fronts. If you are looking for matching bedside tables, why not opt for a Cube table. If you like we can lacquer the drawer front to match the colour of your headboard or match it to the timber.
Either option will ensure a cohesive look in your chosen bedroom furniture and storage.
