Four poster bedroom sets for large bedrooms

If you have a large bedroom, then investing in four poster bedroom sets makes a lot of sense because they are the right options for big spaces. Four poster bedroom sets are beautiful, opulent and extravagant and is the best option if you want to emulate the vintage styles of classic bedrooms. The focus of the bedroom will obviously be the large four poster bed, and you can buy sets which include end benches, a couple of ottomans, an armoire or a cupboard, a big and beautiful vanity complete with a dresser and a mirror with an ornate border.



A four poster bed will have – quite obviously – four posts, which support a rectangular panel over the bed. Or, if you so wish, you can opt for a four poster be without the overhead panel. The posts of such beds in four poster bedroom sets can be ornate or simple, according to your tastes. Some people love the look of an intricately etched bedpost while others enjoy the sleek and gleaming polish of a bed post that is not engraved. Either way, a four poster bed is bound to look majestic, so you can enjoy the opulence it lends your bedroom. If you choose a bed with a panel over head then that panel can also be beautifully engraved to match the posts. From the posts, you can hang elaborate valences made of silk or lace, or even finely spun cotton, if you live in a warm climate and need the air to pass through the material.



You can bunch the lace of these curtains up and tie them with elaborate ties with frills and fringes, or you can simply use a length of silk ribbon to keep them in place till bed time, when you let them loose and they float around your bed, encasing you within their whispering and rustling luxury. The whole concept of four posters emerged from the times when royalty slept with their help and man-servants in the same room. It would not do to have the “lower ranks” witness their masters sleeping and thus, the canopy of curtains was necessary to prevent the somnolent privacy of the sleeping upper classes. The drapes were also necessary to keep the sleeping royal or nobleman warm.



Depending on the style of your home, you can buy four poster bedroom sets to suit your aesthetic senses. You can opt for bright drapes instead of the traditional white lace and liven up your space. Modern day four poster bedroom sets have sleek designs and a contemporary touch. What is more, a bedroom with four poster bedroom sets only looks more romantic! An elegant four poster bed can be accessorised with a tall boy cabinet with polished copper knobs. You can add a few ottomans to the room and a European style vanity with a dresser will not look out of place. Look for four poster bedroom sets in yard sales or furniture stores, though you can also find online options at spectacular deals.
