Round beds—which originally rose to popularity in the swinging ’60s—are officially back in the interior design spotlight this year. If you’re looking for a statement piece for your bedroom, round beds might be the answer. Keep reading to see what style of round bed is right for you, plus some of the pros and cons associated with the furniture design.

Round Bed Styles

Round beds serve as a showstopping focal point. Learn which design aesthetics work best with round beds and how to style the furniture piece.

Retro Room Designs

Round beds first took off in the ’60s, so it’s no surprise that they’re commonly found in spaces that are going for a retro look. Round beds in retro-inspired rooms often come in bright colors and lush materials, sometimes with a matching curved bedrest. If you want to channel the groovy aesthetic in your room, style the bed with elaborate tufted headboards, or go for canopy drapes to complete the look. You’ll also want to use colorful bedding that matches the rest of your space or provides striking contrast. Many vintage beds with retro appeal come in soft velvet upholstery fabric.

Old-Money Aesthetic

Round beds are often found in luxury or old-money aesthetics. When opting for a modern luxe style, consider a neutral color palette, such as white, gray, beige, or black. Choose a round bed in one of these shades and dress it with matching sheets and a duvet in a similar color for a monochromatic bedding palette.

Fabric choices also matter in luxury styles. To get the old-money look, opt for soft-to-the-touch fabrics like silk and bamboo. For traditional appeal, shop for round beds with diamond-tufted headboards.

Minimalist Bedrooms

Because of their soft organic shape, round beds are a popular choice in minimalist interior design. To achieve the look, purchase a round mattress that fits your bed to keep lines as visually clean as possible. Use neutral sheets, a simple headboard, and warm lighting for a no-frills minimalist bedroom.
