Sloane Bed

A fully upholstered headboard and footboard give the Sloane a soft, finished look on every side, in either a rich chocolate-brown velvet or a neutral, boucle-like performance fabric. There is no channeling or tufting competing for attention: the shape does the work, and the fabric adds the texture. As beds go, this is the one that reads complete without a lot of extra styling around it.

It comes in queen and king, both at a substantial 50 inches tall, so the headboard reads as real furniture rather than a low panel. The upholstered footboard is a detail a lot of platform beds skip, and it makes the frame feel finished from the foot of the bed, not just the head.

Styling Tips

Velvet in a color this dark works as an anchor, so keep the walls and bedding lighter and let the headboard be the one dark, saturated surface in the room. The performance boucle does the opposite job, reading soft and neutral enough to sit behind almost any bedding.

Flank it with a pair of nightstands in a warm wood to offset all that upholstery, and keep floor lamps or sconces rather than table lamps if the nightstands are on the narrow side.
