A bed frame establishes the largest physical footprint in the room. Its height determines usable volume, its width controls circulation, and its form dictates whether the space feels ordered or constrained.

Proportions must be kept slim. For instance, a single bed frame works exceptionally well in box rooms because it preserves a clear walkway. In UK homes, the small double bed frame is often the “Goldilocks” choice, offering extra comfort without the bulk of a standard double.
