"First gaining popularity in the 15th century, four-poster frames have given bedrooms a striking focal point for hundreds of years. Named for their quartet of corner posts, they can be as simple as a short, turned wood knob on each end, or as extravagant as a ceiling-height canopy frame (drapes are optional). Beloved for their craftsmanship, these silhouettes are traditionally made in solid wood with turned, bobbin, and hand-carved details."
"You don't have to be a knight of the seven kingdoms to achieve that castle-like aesthetic, though; There are plenty of modern iterations and Shaker frames made with 21st-century comforts (like plush upholstered headboards and material variety). Whether you choose to coordinate your bedroom furniture with similar wood tones or intentionally contrast with a bold upholstery color, the best four-poster frames make rest the focus of your space."
Four-poster beds originated in the 15th century and have served as a striking focal point in bedrooms for centuries. They are defined by four corner posts that range from simple turned knobs to extravagant ceiling-height canopy frames with optional drapes. Traditional silhouettes are crafted from solid wood and feature turned, bobbin, and hand-carved details. Curtains on some frames provide light blocking and insulation. Contemporary versions include streamlined metal frames, padded headboards, and adjustable slat settings to accommodate different mattress thicknesses without a box spring. Both rustic farmhouse and modern romantic styles are available, allowing coordination of wood tones or contrasting upholstery colors to prioritize rest.
