Get the Look: Slipcovered Beds
If there’s one thing we get asked about on repeat in our primary bedroom, it’s the bed. Our bed is a slipcovered linen style originally from Serena & Lily (and yes… it’s been unavailable for years). But here’s the good news: this look is very doable—and at a range of price points.
There are a lot of upholstered beds out there, so let’s talk about what sets this one apart. Because it’s not just upholstered—it’s slipcovered. That means you get that relaxed, slightly tailored skirt along the base—often with soft pleats or a loose drape—that instantly reads more casual than a tight, structured upholstered frame.
Slipcovered beds come in a variety of styles, but to really get this look, you’ll want a cream or off-white linen (or linen-like) fabric. We love linen for the subtle texture it brings and the way it adds an elevated, but still relaxed, feel to a space.
We especially love a slipcovered bed like this in a more formal, moody room. In our primary bedroom, the bed creates contrast against the deep chocolate walls and box trim paneling. It’s that mix of polished and lived-in that we’re always chasing.
