Choosing the right colour for your bed and bedroom furniture can be almost as difficult as choosing the bedroom furniture it’s self. There is so much to consider.
Do you to blend with the walls, the carpets or do you go for completely new look?

"Our beds are special and need more than a mere lick of wax.

There are many ways to choose colour, so here are a few steps we recommend to help you choose the right colours for you.

Inspiration and choice

Make sure you know why you like what you like - and dislike what you don't. Many people forget to apply this simple rule. It does however mean you arrive at your final decision much easier and much quicker. Look for new ideas in magazines and books, movies, shops, restaurants and other peoples' homes. And remember to enjoy yourself, colour is fun!

The County Kerry bed and the Oldwood finish… like coffee and cream

Some of the beds in the Revival Collection seem to lend themselves perfectly to a wax finish because of there design. For example, it’s difficult to see the County Kerry bed and bedroom collection in anything other than a distressed Oldwood finish.

The history behind the Mackintosh bed suggests that it ought to be an oak bed as that was the wood of choice during the Arts & Crafts period, so it seems as if a Pale Oak wax finish or a Mellow Brown wax finish would be most appropriate.

Painted sleigh beds and furniture go hand in hand Beds and furniture have been painted for hundreds years to achieve a more elegant finish than can be achieved by waxing. From Gustavian and French Louis style bedroom suites to simple shaker beds painted finish gives furniture a different appeal

Revival beds have probably used a paint finish on all our beds at sometime or another, however its worth pointing out that some of our beds go hand in hand with paint finishes. For example the Orleans four poster with its Louis XV look, or the Parisienne with its chic continental lines seem to made for our Ivory Cream or Pearl White finish.

Testimonial

We are absolutely delighted with our new furniture in our new home and it looks just the part in our 400 year old farmhouse! I would just like to say that our experience of ordering and taking receipt of this furniture has been a very positive one and wanted you and your staff to know. Everyone was always very helpful, we were kept informed at all times and it felt like a very personal service.

The quality of the furniture appears very high and the driver who delivered it and assembled it was helpful and hardworking. All in all a good experience all round! Well done to you all – my husband and I both work in service industries so we know it’s worth telling someone when they’ve done a good job. We will certainly try and use your services again and recommend them to our friends.
Kind Regards
