Sheesham Wood Bed in Bangalore | Sheesham Wood Poster bed in Bangalore | Sheesham Wood Furniture Bangalore















The four-poster bed is precisely what the name states - a bed with four long posts at each corner. These posts placed on the four sides of the bed, which may or may not be connected support canopies or decorations. Incipiently, they have wooden columns, making it one of the few solid wooden furniture materials in a room. For this reason, these beds are highly coveted and are considered a status symbol. There are stories in history, of knights who would buy these beds from their first killings because of their symbolism. 

For the past decade, it has been believed that these beds have gone “out of fashion”. The drop in sales was primarily due to the rising awareness regarding climate change which led to concerns regarding the impact on the environment. Makers have found a solution in using materials such as ash and metal instead of mahogany to make it environment-friendly, thus gaining popularity once again. Depending on what the homeowner desires, these beds are adorned with anything from mere white canopy cloth to lavish silks.

These beds demand attention by creating a dramatic focal point in the bedroom and are loved by almost everyone. The viewer weighs your status based on the size of the bed, a larger one signifying higher status. While some changes have been made, sharper wooden frames and curvier metal frames, the essence of the bed persists. Tamed to fit into the modern spaces of today, they still make for an opulent design statement. 

The initial purpose of these beds was to provide privacy while the servants slept in the same room. Today, they offer multiple benefits. 

Privacy
Even today, Indians live in large joint families, which implies several people walking in and out of your room if they need something. It may not always be feasible to lock your room doors, and that is when these beds come in handy. Using thick materials to drape provides you with the required privacy while allowing access to someone else. 
It could just be that you stay in one room with your child and don’t want to compromise your privacy. Draping the curtains around your bed helps in a situation like this, you can sleep peacefully knowing your child is safely in the same room, while maintaining your personal space. 

Mosquitos Out:
While there are solutions such as portable mosquito nets available in the market today, these beds can serve the purpose along with privacy. Draping curtains made of thin netted cloth will keep the mosquitos out while also providing you access to the room. Keeping the curtains draped in the day would block the mosquitos from entering the bedding area at all, allowing for a repellant free life.

Keeps the Light Out
Poster beds are typically a room within a room. The four posts provide a perfect setting to put curtains all around and on top of your bed. Most people face difficulty sleeping during the day. Draping the curtains curtails this issue efficiently. It keeps the daylight out, creating a perfect sleeping environment even during the day. 

No Spills:
Sometimes we tend to sit on the bed and perform other activities such as eating, writing or painting, which often leads to spills on the bedsheets. As a solution, the sheer curtains can be supported on the posts and kept open at all times, restricting access. No access means no spillage.  

Natural Heating
Most of us like to put thin or light curtains in our rooms which allow light to enter. While this works in the summer months, it becomes a primary reason for the chilly rooms during winters. But changing to dark curtains just for the winters seems like a task. You can effectively increase the amount of heat retained in your resting space by putting thick and warm curtains around your poster bed. Your bed will stay warm, keeping your body warm during cold winter nights. 

Decorations!!
The most fun part about this bed is the large variety of decor options it offers. You can choose from a varied range of products to show off your interior decorator. A simple sheer curtain would show the wood, the design, the carving, and the colour of the bed, while a darker colour would show the richness of the material. You can match to the existing décor or pump it up with contrast and show your skills.
