21st Century Lisi Bed Cotton Velvet

The simple fact that everyone sleeps is great news for those in search of an antique, new or vintage bedroom set. A good night’s rest is a universal necessity, which means that there is an abundance of options to meet everyone’s tastes and decor styles.

While the design of beds was once largely informed by the availability of local materials, modern-day consumers can relish the freedom of mixing and matching their favorite furniture styles from around the globe. Springing for a European bedroom set might mean introducing a royalty-inspired resting haven to your home, one outfitted with a plush, elaborately adorned upholstered headboard that gives new meaning to the terms “king-” and “queen-size” beds. Mid-century modern bedroom sets, with their sleek and streamlined bed frames and unassuming walnut nightstands, might also defy notions of standard bedroom furniture given the venturesome design sensibilities that we’ve come to associate with the style.

Targeting the designs of a specific location lets you take a vacation every time you nap. Italian designers, who upholstered headboards and ashwood or cherry bed frames in varying fabrics and leathers, have introduced luxurious bedroom sets over the years, while the decoratively carved dark walnut antique bedroom sets designed in France in the Louis XVI style have never lost their allure centuries later.

For those who love to host, your guest rooms can treat visitors to a one-of-a-kind experience. Build an atmosphere, be it moody or bright, by pairing pieces that share a single color or commit to a specific era. Dazzle with the dark woods that define the dressing tables and armoires of the Art Deco era or immerse your guests in the glitz and wealth of mirrored finishes and bold color contrasts that characterize a Hollywood Regency bedroom set, a movement in design led by unsung interior decorator Dorothy Draper in the 1920s.

Whatever your needs might be, you should sleep in style. Find a wide-ranging collection of antique, new and vintage bedroom sets on 1stDibs.
