Lend History to Even the Newest Home

All the advances in modern manufacturing materials cannot replace the timelessness of solid wood furniture. The sturdiness and simple design of a mission style wood bed lends a sense of tradition and permanence to any home. Add the Dorchester Daybed to any room and you’ll enjoy a feeling of history as rich as the Pennsylvania Dutch country itself.

The Dorchester is constructed of solid pine wood and available in country pine or brown cherry finish. A sleigh bed design gives a subtle touch of softness to the squared posts and straight slats. The gently arched back supports large pillows for comfort as extra seating or for lying in bed re-reading your favorite novel. Hillsdale Furniture also includes the link spring with every Dorchester Daybed for extra mattress support.

A daybed is a great solution to limited space. A daybed with trundle is even better, allowing for more sleeping space when needed, but tucked away when you don’t have guests. The choice of finishes and design of the Dorchester make it a perfect multipurpose furniture piece to blend into your living room when you don’t have an extra guest bedroom.

A Daybed You Just Have to See

Elegance truly is in the detail. If you have avoided daybeds, it’s time to take a second look. Fashion Bed Group has put the best of their expertise in modern manufacturing into the Monique Daybed.

The Monique is a metal daybed with optional pop-up trundle, but don’t let the functional terms turn you away. High style, intricate scrollwork, and attention grabbing details make this daybed a work of art. The camel back peaks in the center to showcase a crest-style flourish. Metal spindles curl and meet to create the scrollwork spanning the back and sides. Swooped metal drapes across each span, with detailed ends that give it a velvet rope feel. Each post features scrolled toppers and rounded feet.

The Monique Daybed is designed for those houseguests that you really did want to invite. The bronze and silver finish lends an antiqued look that is easy to accessorize, and also easy to care for. Fully welded construction makes it built to last, though the overall appearance is one of delicate beauty. Fashion Bed Group knows daybeds, and the Monique just might be their crowning glory.

The Tradition of Master Craftsmen

The mission style of furniture is characterized by its rustic look and straight lines and angles. Originally, it was so termed to distinguish it from the newly mass produced furniture of the Industrial Revolution. Though modern mission style furniture is often produced by manufacturers like Hillsdale Furniture, it still holds the charm and simple elegance of those first craftsmen that made it famous.

The Mission Daybed from Hillsdale is a testament to the tradition and quality of the style. Constructed of solid oak wood, it has the sturdy look of heirloom furniture built to be handed down from generation to generation. The unique hand light oak finish seems like it just came out the town crafter’s shop. Straight slates and a squared frame essential to the mission design are subtly softened with gentle curves and round edges. Choose the option of getting the daybed with trundle and provide even more sleeping space for guests (or your own afternoon naps).

The optional link spring helps to support the mattress, ensuring your sleep is as comfortable as the style. In the Mission Daybed, Hillsdale Furniture has created a modern daybed steeped in the tradition of the original one-of-a-kind mission style. The daybed is perfect for a child’s room, a spare room, or a home office.

The combination wood and iron of the Madison Wood Post Bed makes it easy to match up to your existing furniture or use as the template for restyling the whole room.

A modern bed can instantly update your bedroom. You don’t have to go fully contemporary or stay wholly traditional with the Madison. Hillsdale Furniture helps you meet in the middle. And, to make your decorating project even easier, choose from the optional 7-piece bedding set to complete your look in one simple order.

Bring Home the History Of Italian Design

Pompeii, Italy, became known to the world upon the discovery of the city buried in ashes of an ancient and catastrophic volcanic eruption. Preserved in those ashes was the day-to-day life of a bustling community, everything left exactly as it was when the mountain exploded in anger. Among the ruins one can find beautiful carvings, bas reliefs, colored tile work, and other intricate designs of master craftsmen. Hillsdale Furniture has captured that same fine Italian craftsmanship in the Pompei Bar Stool.

This metal bar stool features curved legs under a natural-colored swivel seat. The back is constructed of intricate metal flourishes topped with a solid slate panel. The multicolored sections of the panel centered with a diamond shape are reminiscent of the Italian design style. A black gold finish brings the Pompei from Hillsdale Furniture an overall look of beautifully aged ironwork.

Bring the style of one of history’s most fascinating cities into your home. Though the look is centuries old, the modern bar stool materials mean you’ll be enjoying your Pompei for years to come.

How Much Wood Would You Use?

Have you thought about the different materials you can use when choosing home décor and contemporary bedroom furniture for your new house? A popular material for such design, especially headboards, has long been wood, which can be fashioned to represent almost any style and work with just about any theme you come up with. The question is, how much wood would you use to furnish the different rooms in your home? Would you stop with the master bedroom furniture, or would you work with other rooms in the home?

In your bedroom, you have so many options that you may get a little overwhelmed, though your first inclination may be to choose platform beds. This is the latest style tactic, and it offers minimalist design and sharp, clean lines that can be used as a backdrop for a more intricate theme or can simply make your room seem more open and inviting with its lack of clutter and diminutive height. Wood platform beds can really bring out the style you’ve established and be a centerpiece for your bedroom.

As you look at headboards, consider a wooden headboard, which can be shown in its own brilliance, regardless of the intricacy or simplicity of the etched design. It can also later be upholstered so that you can change the look of your room in a very simple way without buying all new furniture pieces or even getting rid of the nice headboard.

Even kids bedroom sets can be fashioned from wood to make a stunning appearance and give style to your home. Imagine wood bunks or a handcrafted daybed gracing your child’s room and making it look stylish and put together as well as functional. Whether through headboards, platform beds, or complete furniture sets, you can use wood to make a lasting impression in your home décor and design.

You’ll find the quality is just as high and the style just as updated as if you had purchased from a well-known designer.

Discount king beds are even available in a number of designs. Choose a platform, sleigh bed, four poster canopy bed, and much more in king size and still save a bundle with this discounted furniture. You can even find affordable kids beds that closely imitate the major name brand items for which you could be paying a much higher price. Look for bunk beds, beds with storage drawers, platform beds, loft beds, and daybeds, all of which are great for kids and excellent space savers for their smaller rooms.

Heavy Metal – Choosing Rocking Material for Your Bed

Are you a rocker at heart who wants a fun bedroom reflecting your heavy metal personality? You can show off your sense of style and sense of self by opting for metal bedroom sets that call to be the center of attention much as you do. Whether you opt to pull together such a design with certain headboards or you work with a different design element, you can really bring out your heavy metal personality through your choice of furniture.

Even certain styles of metal daybeds can be used to make an impression, if you choose one made of wrought iron with intricately woven designs resembling tribal symbols and other elements that are like tattoos you may have. Other wrought iron beds are good choices as well. The dark, cold material is reminiscent of old Medieval castles and furnishings where it was fashioned for use in most chambers, which bring out the thought of warriors and hard personalities, reflecting your hard core rocker nature.

Brass beds can call attention to your particular personality, especially if you are a little less hard rock and a little more independent rock, with an eclectic personality that takes pleasure from all forms of rock music. In fact, brass is a material that reflects an affinity for recent history, since it was popular in the 70s and 80s, so it may show that you are a fan of classic rock.

Other metal headboards may speak to different details regarding your taste in rock music, but any headboards made of metal are going to show that you are interested in hard core music. Pair it with posters of your favorite rockers and watch the room transform for you. You’ll fall in love with a room that shows off your personality and your taste for furniture and music.

Origins of the Headboard

There is a long and rich history behind headboards, ranging from functional to fanciful usage. In the past, headboards have been used for purposes ranging from storage to decoration to sexual fulfillment. The styles available in a contemporary headboard are conducive to a number of different uses and can be traced back for centuries, though style is often the main concern today.

Fashion Bed Group offers a number of different styles and designs in various headboards, including iron headboards, which are perhaps some of the most historical and were originally used to simply keep bed dressings such as pillows and mattresses on the bed. These became decorative as well, with intricate designs carved out of the metal as a backdrop for lovely plush beds.

The wooden headboard has become quite popular as well, since it can be functional in several ways while also having beautiful intricate carvings and designs. Here, storage space can be added to the headboard to stow anything from clothing to picture frame displays. Having the extra space can really take away clutter in your room. At the same time, the wood has an appealing look, and it offers the ability to be covered and upholstered should you decide to change your design theme later and not want to disregard the headboard you already have.

Leather headboards have become quite popular because they are luxurious and padded, meaning that you never have to worry about hitting your head as you move around in bed. These can also please those who like to participate in rigorous intimate acts, offering a soft backboard for their antics. Fashion Bed Group offers accommodations for all types of headboards, regardless of the material you desire, making it functional and fun while also allowing you to show off your personality and design style.
