Wooden beds 'can be the central element to a guestroom'

A bed is often the central element to room and therefore those decorating a guest room in their house may want to purchase wooden contemporary beds to create a focal point.

According to Kevin Sharkey, decorating executive editorial director of Martha Stewart Living magazine, "the content of a good guest room is evergreen, it never changes," the Chicago Tribune reports.

He also furthers that "a guest room has to function". Therefore a practical and stable Willis and Gambier bed may be the ideal item of furniture.

With a range of designs to chose from there is likely to be a model to suit most people's tastes, whether they require a double, king-sized or single design.

Perhaps something like the Ridgeway bedstead, which is made from solid wood and finished in light wood, would provide the simple yet versatile style required.

Dara Caponigro, style director at Domino magazine, suggested to Statesville.com that having a good bed "makes decorating the rest of the room very easy".
