Sourcing Authentic Carved Beds: What to Know Before You Buy
In the current interior design era, carved beds have emerged as a classic piece of furniture that brings elegance and tradition to a bed room. Whether you're designing a whole bed room or simply replacing your old bed furniture, selecting an authentic carved bed can make all the difference in your space. But how do you know if you're getting the real thing? Here's your all-in guide to assist you in making a wise choice—along with all you need to learn about all relevant subjects such as bed design, bed price, bed side table, and even bed mattress options.
What Constitutes a Carved Bed Genuine?
Authenticity in carved beds is a matter of craftsmanship and material. Genuine carved beds are constructed using solid wood such as teak, Sheesham, or oak, providing durability and a detailed bed back design that machined ones simply cannot match.
-
Watch out for the following telltale signs of authenticity:
-
Imperfections in hand-carved details (an indicator of human touch)
-
Heavy wooden bed design rich with texture
-
Branding or certification by well-known furniture makers
-
Increased weight and solidity
-
A genuine bed isn't just furniture—it's an investment in art, comfort, and heritage.
Bed Materials: What Works Best?
-
For carved beds, wood is always the king. But there are other things to keep in mind:
-
Bed cushion design: Opt for matching embroidered or quilted cushions.
-
Bed mattress: Opt for memory foam or coir-based mattresses to bear the weight of the heavy wooden frame.
-
Bed cover & bedsheet materials: Opt for cotton or silk for luxury textures.
-
Bed frame: Ensure it's reinforced to bear the weight.
Steer clear of light MDF or particle board if you wish your carved bed to endure.
Tips to Match Your Carved Bed with the Bedroom
Match with a bed side table design that goes well with the carving.
Select soft, earthy bed room colour palettes—cream, terracotta, olive green—for a vintage appearance.
Add cozy bed room interior design elements such as wooden blinds or throw blankets.
Increase the headboard with a wall-mounted light or bed headboard cover.
Use Vastu-aligned positioning (i.e., direction of the bed according to vastu) for improved harmony in your bedroom.
Protecting Your Carved Bed: Bugs, Sores & Maintenance
A common concern is bed bugs. Make sure the bed is treated before bringing it home. Use bed bugs spray periodically, and consider a bed net if you’re in a tropical area.

Polish the wood once a year
Use a zip cover for the bed to cover the mattress
