High gloss furnishings first started appearing in kitchens via top European design houses – traditional wooden cabinets and drawers were swapped out for shiny black or white finishes. The style soon caught the imaginations of designers and home owners alike, so it’s no surprise that we began seeing high gloss products creep into other parts of the house – including baths, tables, beds and even wall paints.
At one point though, it was difficult to bring these materials into the home because of the high costs. However, now that materials technology has become more advanced, high gloss furniture is available to more people, at all price points.
Trends come and go but high gloss in the bedroom is here to stay. We can confidently say this because sleek, white high gloss furniture can do so much for a bedroom – it has the ability to create a dramatic contrast against textured materials in the room, like blankets, rugs and curtains. There is also a colour trend emerging whereby white glossy furniture is paired with bright, bold colours to really dazzle. Simply put, you won’t run out of complimentary decor ideas any time soon.
The centrepiece of any stylish bedroom should of course be the bed itself, which is why if you’re aiming for a sleek contemporary look, you simply cannot overlook a white high gloss bed frame. Featuring a high quality Italian lacquered finish, the Aden Ottoman is a design-focussed, yet solid piece of craftsmanship. Also exclusive to Time4Sleep is the Ice Aria bed which is one for the minimalists – its crisp, straight lines ensure it should be the starting point for anyone looking to create a contemporary designer bedroom. To take your room to another level don’t forget to add in the matching bedside drawers.
