Wooden bed may give sleigh designs 'a contemporary twist'

Those who like the curved head and foot boards of a French Sleigh bed but may not be so keen on their size could find that wooden contemporary beds provide the answer.

The Donnington is a traditional-looking bedstead made from solid pine and it features sloping, slatted boards at either end.

Also similar to the design of wooden sleigh beds, the headboard is higher than the foot board.

Its simple, chunky design could make it the perfect choice for some people who are keen on the traditional shape of French beds but have a small room.

The pine finish could also mean that it is adaptable and able to easily complement existing furniture.

Similar in design, although with a slightly more modern twist, is the Harvest Echo bedstead. This model features a light oak finish and beech wood sprung slats.
