A black colored bed frame is an elegant and simple addition to any bedroom. It is sure to make a statement while also blending in with a variety of decor styles from farmhouse to modern or traditional. Black bed frames can be hard to come by in the marketplace, with many of the options being grey or tan, it is hard to find a quality and stylish black frame. Well you are in luck. In this post we have included options for all styles and preferences from a standard black metal frame to an upholstered headboard bed set and wooden platform options. Whether you are looking for a low sitting bed frame or a sturdy frame you are sure to find a black frame that meets you needs within this post.
The different types of black bed frames
While all the bed frames in this post are black, there are a variety of different styles of frames to choose from. Each has its own benefits and downsides depending on your specific needs and what you are looking to get out of a bed.
- Standard metal frame – A standard metal bed frame is meant to hold a mattress and box spring and is a great simple/minimalist option for anyone who just wants a standard frame or who wants to attach their own headboard or footboard
- Platform bed – A platform bed frame uses bed slats as a platform and does not require you to use a box spring. You can put your mattress directly on a platform bed. This allows your overall bed set to sit lower to the ground, saving 8″ of height that your box spring would add.
- Upholstered bed frames – Black upholstered bed frames look very classy and elegant in any room. They also provide a soft backrest for sitting up in bed and can make your bedroom feel like a cozy haven.
