Overbed Units

Aside from their practical utility, overbed units are available in a variety of finishes and styles, from high-gloss contemporary versions to traditional oak-effect versions, to allow for their easy integration into existing bedroom furnishings. Rauch and Wiemann, among others, produce a range of overbed units that balance good craftsmanship with good looks, to allow for product choices that suit different tastes and budgets.

Finishes Available in our Overbed Units

Above the bed units are not only convenient storage systems but also key style features in a bedroom. The finish of your overbed unit is instrumental in determining the look of the room, whether you have a modern, traditional, or neutral style. Let us delve into two of the most popular finishes available in overbed furniture:

High-gloss Overbed Units

High-gloss finishes are the first choice for those who prefer a modern or minimalist interior. With their smooth, reflective exterior, high-gloss overbed units immediately lighten up the bedroom by reflecting natural and artificial light off the surfaces of the room. This finish provides a neat, sleek appearance that is well-suited to smaller bedrooms, as it makes the room appear more spacious.

We offer high-gloss overbed units in timeless shades like white, black, and grey, offering plenty of flexibility to match or contrast with your existing bedroom furniture. Whether paired with a high-gloss wardrobe or complemented by neutral tones, these units provide a sleek and cohesive finish.

Along with their stylistic advantages, high-gloss finishes are remarkably low maintenance—a gentle wipe with a soft cloth is often sufficient to leave them sparkling. They're also not prone to fading and stay glossy for years on end, which makes them a long-lasting and low-maintenance choice for families with busy schedules.

Ideal for city apartments or metropolitan homes, high-gloss overbed wardrobes introduce a touch of sophistication with efficient overhead and side storage to save wall space.

Oak-effect Overbed Units

Ideal for homeowners with a taste for a more rustic, traditional bedroom look. The finishes replicate the look of natural oak wood without the expense or bulk of solid wood, providing gorgeous grain effects and texture at an affordable price.

Oak-effect furniture is extremely versatile—it is suitable for a broad variety of décor styles, ranging from country cottage and farmhouse interiors to Scandinavian-style rooms. The wood tones are neutral and can easily mix with other materials and colours, making them perfect for both traditional and modern bedrooms.

Whilst overbed surround units constructed from solid oak may be bulky and pricey, oak-effect options offer an inexpensive alternative which, despite the lower cost, meets a premium visual standard. There are multiple models with matte or glossy finish doors alongside brushed metal knobs, or mirrored insertions, on a well-proportioned, harmonious model.

Oak-effect units not only look great but are also functional. The surfaces are most often laminate or foil-covered, and because of this, they are strong and resistant to day-to-day wear and tear. They come in various configurations like Double overbed units, Overbed bridge units, etc. Whether you are after a rustic retreat or a classic master bedroom, oak-effect overbed bedroom furniture provides a warm and earthy atmosphere.
