French Style Bedsteads

French style bedsteads sit at the more decorative end of the bed frame range, with detailed headboards, sculpted footboards, and slim cabriole or tapered legs that lift the frame from the floor. The raised stance helps a bedroom feel lighter and more open compared with divans or solid base beds, and also makes cleaning underneath far easier. Most bedsteads come in painted finishes that suit both relaxed and formal interiors, and they pair beautifully with French style bedside cabinets, dressing tables, and wardrobes. The sturdy slatted base supports most mattress types, including pocket sprung and memory foam, so you can carry your existing mattress over without issue.
