How to Incorporate a Wooden Bed Frame into a Minimalist Bedroom

Minimalism is more than just a design trend, it's a lifestyle choice. And at the heart of any minimalist bedroom lies one essential piece of furniture: the bed. A wooden bed frame from Get Laid Beds offers the perfect balance of simplicity, natural beauty, and functional design, making it a seamless fit for your clutter-free sanctuary. But how do you ensure your wooden frame enhances the minimalist aesthetic without overpowering it?

Here’s how to style your bedroom around a wooden bed frame while staying true to minimalist principles.

1. Choose the Right Wood Finish

The first step to minimalist success is selecting a finish that harmonises with the rest of your space. Think soft, natural tones like Scandinavian White, Oak, or Ash for a light and airy vibe. Prefer a bit more contrast? Opt for rich, deeper hues like Walnut or Black for a touch of drama, without excess.

At Get Laid Beds, our handcrafted wooden frames are available in a wide range of finishes, so you can find one that perfectly complements your minimalist palette.

2. Let the Bed Frame Be the Focal Point

In a minimalist room, less is more. Allow your wooden bed frame to shine by giving it centre stage. Avoid bulky headboards or excessive bedding. Instead, choose a low platform bed, like the Low Modern Bed or Low Loft Bed, which adds structure without visual clutter.

Pair it with a simple duvet in neutral tones - white, beige, or soft grey - and let texture do the talking through subtle linen or cotton weaves.

3. Keep the Surroundings Simple

Minimalism thrives on negative space. Keep bedside tables sleek and functional, or opt for built-in floating shelves. Decorative accents should be intentional: a single piece of wall art, a small plant in a neutral pot, or a minimalist lamp is all you need.

Let the clean lines and craftsmanship of your wooden bed frame anchor the room, rather than competing with other visual elements.

4. Embrace Hidden Storage

One of the biggest challenges in minimalist living is managing clutter. Wooden bed frames from Get Laid Beds can be customised with underbed storage drawers, making it easy to keep your space looking tidy while still having all your essentials close at hand.

Choose storage that blends seamlessly into the frame so it doesn't disrupt the streamlined look of your bedroom.

5. Add Natural Accents for Warmth

Minimalist doesn’t mean cold or sterile. Wooden bed frames introduce natural warmth and organic texture into the room. To build on this, incorporate other natural elements sparingly: think a woven rug, a cotton throw, or a small bamboo plant.

This keeps the space grounded and cosy while maintaining that crisp, clean look.

A wooden bed frame is the ideal centrepiece for any minimalist bedroom. Its timeless beauty, sustainable appeal, and clean design effortlessly tie a room together without adding visual noise. With a bit of thoughtful styling, your bed from Get Laid Beds becomes more than furniture, it becomes a serene escape from the chaos of the world.
