Amy’s Favorite Details
What makes these custom beds truly special is the level of customization Lee Industries offers, including:
Shapes and Sizes: With a wide range of shapes to choose from, these beds are adaptable to any room.
Upholstery Options: One of the best features? You can upholster the bed in almost any fabric, allowing for endless possibilities. From neutral tones to bold patterns, there’s something for every design style.
Customization from Headboard to Footboard: Amy loves that you can opt for a fully upholstered bed, choose a headboard alone, or mix and match with footboard styles. This gives each client the freedom to design exactly what they need for their space.
Stylish Feet: Often overlooked, the feet of a bed can add an extra touch of personality. With different styles and finishes available, Amy loves how these small details elevate the entire look of the bed.
Styling Tips for a Perfectly Layered Bed
“Paired with beautiful bedding, a custom bed can be the centerpiece to a truly stunning bedroom,” Amy says. Achieving a well-styled bed that looks inviting and luxurious is all about layering and attention to detail. Here are some key tips to create a beautifully styled bed that’s both comfortable and visually appealing:
Layer with Luxurious Bedding: Start with high-quality sheets in neutral tones as the foundation of your bed. From there, add layers of blankets, quilts, or duvets to build depth and texture. Mixing materials like cotton, linen, and wool can create a rich, multi-dimensional look while also keeping the bed cozy.
Play with Pillows: Pillows are a great way to add both comfort and style. Mix different sizes and shapes, from large Euro pillows to standard shams and decorative accent pillows. Consider incorporating pillows with varied textures, patterns, or colors to introduce contrast and visual interest. This not only makes the bed more inviting but also adds a personalized touch to the design.
Accent with a Throw Blanket: A throw blanket at the foot of the bed is the perfect finishing touch. Opt for a throw in a contrasting color or texture to enhance the overall design and bring warmth to the space. You can neatly fold the throw or drape it casually for a more relaxed, lived-in feel.
Add Layers of Texture: Don’t shy away from combining various textures like velvet, linen, knit, or faux fur. This mix adds richness to the bedding and creates a tactile experience that enhances the comfort of your bed.
Incorporate Seasonal Accents: Change up your bedding and accessories seasonally to keep your space fresh. Lighter fabrics and brighter colors in the spring and summer can be swapped for heavier, cozier materials and deeper tones during the fall and winter months.
By layering your bedding thoughtfully and playing with pillows, textures, and accents, you can create a bed that serves as the focal point of your bedroom—both stylish and comfortable.
With endless upholstery options and thoughtful design details, custom beds by Lee Industries bring both style and comfort to your space.
