Ottoman beds are not just admired for their generous internal storage, but for their stylish designs that can transform your bedroom into the cosy escape that you’ve always wanted.

However, choosing the right ottoman bed that complements your bedroom decor can be a little bit tricky as there’s so many different styles, colours and options out there.

But don’t worry! In this guide, we’ll help point you into the right direction when it comes to picking the ottoman bed that suits your personal preferences and matches beautifully with your surrounding furniture, colour schemes and accessories.

Colour Schemes: Their Impact On Ottomans In Bedroom Spaces

Colours have a major impact on the overall look of your ottoman bed and how it feels in the bedroom space. If you’re someone who’s interior design-conscious, it’s definitely worth considering! Let’s take a look at the various effects of colours with different ottoman beds:

Dark Colours

Darker tones such as ebony, navy and grey can give the illusion that your ottoman bed is slightly smaller than what it actually is. Darker shades are great for making the space feel drawn in and cosier, which is ideal if you’re thinking about creating a bedroom that has a snug and ambient feel.

Light Colours

Light colours, such as cream, pink, and silver can make your bedroom feel bigger, with a light and airy feel. These colour tones often go with a wide variety of interior styles, as they can be paired with many bedding accessories and furniture without clashing.

Warm Tones

Warmer colours do exactly as they suggest: they add a sense of warmth to the bedroom space, making it feel cosy and inviting. If your ottoman bed has been made with brown or cream fabrics, it works particularly well in countryside homes, rustic cottages and the farmhouse look that’s trending right now.

Choosing The Right Headboard: Traditional Vs Modern

Another big factor to consider when purchasing your new ottoman bed is the headboard and the style you’d like to go for. We have a selection of both traditional and contemporary headboards to choose from, accommodating to various personal preferences.

Traditional Headboards

Our traditional style headboards, such as our chesterfield headboard, are certainly great options if the classic look is your cup of tea. Designed with a tufted pattern, this headboard takes you back to quintessential English manor houses and luxurious hotels. It’s certainly a great choice if you want to finish your ottoman bed with a sophisticated look.

Modern Headboards

ust as stylish as our traditional headboards, we also have a wide range of modern headboards for those that are into the modern, minimalist look. Many of our contemporary headboards are designed with panelling or line detailing, such as our Sunrise Headboard and Modena Headboard. These elegant line patterns also give the illusion that your ottoman bed is wider or longer, which is perfect if you’re thinking about giving your compact bedroom a roomier feel.

Organising The Internal Storage

The internal storage of your ottoman bed can have a huge impact on the rest of your bedroom space and its decor. By freeing up a lot of floor space, you can create more room for other decor accessories, or simply leave it for a minimalist look. Let’s take a look at some ways you can maximise the internal storage of your ottoman bed:

Storage Organisers

Storage organisers for ottoman beds are perfect for giving all of your belongings their own designated space. If you’re someone that really doesn’t want to see chaos every time they open their ottoman bed, these storage organisers are really useful for keeping everything at bay!

Inside these storage organisers, you can layer clothes or spare bedding and stack them on top of each other to make the most of your space underneath your bed. Designed with handles and zips, they’re very easy to pick up and are effective ways to keep your items safely stored away.

Vacuum Packed Bags

For items such as bedding, pillows and clothing, vacuum packed bags are a clever solution that can massively cut down the space you’re taking up under your ottoman bed!

Layering Bedding Accessories & Surrounding Furniture: The Final Touches

Your ottoman bed wouldn’t be complete without the final touches of bedding and other decorative accessories. By adding comfort, style and personality to your bedroom space, you’ll want nothing more than to get home and relax in your bedroom at the end of a long day!

Bedside Tables

Bedside tables are one of the most effective ways to upgrade your ottoman bed and the surrounding decor. Displaying anything from alarm clocks, photographs, elegant lamps, your ottoman bed will certainly have a homely feel.

Cushions & Throws

Pair your ottoman bed with some cushions and throws that are a contrasting colour to your headboard to tie everything together. These textures and colours will add a whole new level of comfort to your bedroom space!

Rugs

Placing a rug beneath or around your ottoman bed is a simple way to add softness and definition to your bedroom space. Whether you choose a neutral tone for a subtle look or a bold pattern to make a statement, rugs are great styling accessories to make your bedroom feel complete. Plus, your feet won’t be as cold when you get up in the morning!
