Staging your bedroom can give your house the edge over other property listings when selling. Seeing a beautiful bedroom implies your home is well cared for and suitable for the next family or person looking to move.
One of the best ways to stage your bedroom is with a new bed frame to set the tone and create a focal point.
A fantastic bed frame can distract attention from awkward layouts, which might scupper a sale and inspire would-be buyers.
Join us below to discover the best beds for staging a bedroom…
Winged headboard beds
Bed frames with winged headboards make stunning focal points in staged bedrooms, delivering that coveted boutique hotel aesthetic buyers love.
The deep buttoning and premium fabrics like velvet or linen enhance luxury, while the protective wings create a cocooning effect that suggests comfort.

Grey and cream colourways attract the widest audience, especially with pristine white bedding and textured throws. Winged headboard frames transform ordinary bedrooms into sophisticated sanctuaries.
Sleigh beds
Sleigh beds command attention in master bedrooms, and their distinctive curved headboards and footboards create drama from every viewing angle.
Modern versions wrapped in grey or silver velvet update the traditional design while keeping its timeless appeal. The substantial silhouette delivers instant grandeur without dominating the space while flowing lines draw potential buyers’ eyes naturally through the room.
Poster frame beds
Make your high ceilings shine with a striking poster bed frame. These architectural pieces draw the eye upward, emphasising room height and creating drama.
You could choose a minimal modern design or traditional turned posts – in any case, these frames make an unforgettable impression during viewings. Dark wood or metal finishes offer sophistication while leaving the posts bare and maintaining an airy, spacious feel.

Low bed frames
Master awkward spaces with sleek, low-profile bed frames. These contemporary designs work wonders in attic rooms or areas with sloping ceilings, creating an illusion of higher ceilings and more space.
Platform-style bases eliminate the need for a bulky box spring, while clean lines and hidden supports maintain visual simplicity. Choose light finishes to enhance the sense of space.
TV beds
Elevate bedroom staging with sophisticated TV beds that conceal entertainment systems. These innovative frames hide televisions within their footboards, rising smoothly at the touch of a button.
The clean, uncluttered look appeals to tech-savvy buyers while maintaining bedroom serenity. Modern designs feature USB ports and cable management, showcasing the practical luxury that today’s buyers demand.

Ottoman beds
Maximise staging impact with clever ottoman beds. The hydraulic lift system reveals generous storage space, perfect for quickly tidying your bedroom.
These frames combine practicality with style, whether wrapped in plush velvet or faux leather. Available across various designs, from sleigh beds to TV beds, ottoman mechanisms offer that extra selling point without compromising aesthetics.
Day beds
Day beds maximise staged guest bedrooms by serving as seating and sleeping spaces, instantly demonstrating room versatility to potential buyers.
Single-sized frames with pull-out trundles underneath effectively double the sleeping capacity while maintaining a streamlined look.
Metal frames in classic white or matt black suit most décor schemes, while upholstered versions add extra comfort as daytime seating. Plump scatter cushions and a cosy throw will effortlessly transform the look from bed to sofa.

Summing up
A staged bedroom with a new bed frame is a surefire way to attract viewings because most sellers don’t bother doing anything special.
Buyers remember exceptional bedrooms, especially those with statement pieces like winged headboards, sleigh beds, and dramatic poster frames.
The right bed frame can also overcome room challenges – low designs for attics, ottoman storage for smaller spaces, TV beds for tech-savvy buyers, and day beds for home offices.
