The beauty of solid wood furniture lends enduring style to any room in your home. From dining sets to kitchen cabinets, wood furnishings add depth and natural appeal that integrate seamlessly with a variety of design schemes. In the bedroom, your selection of a solid wood bedstead sets the tone for a naturally restful space.

Log beds make bold statements. By nature, they are sturdy and durable. They imbue a bedroom with a rustic look. Peeled pine logs with a light natural finish can freshen the bedroom with an aura of warm, pine scented summer air. Perfect for log homes, but also providing distinctive, pleasing contrasts in otherwise formal settings, real wood bed frames lend themselves to a range of color and decor schemes.

Originally hand crafted piece by piece, log beds today are widely available in furniture stores and online. Materials are not limited to pine. Hickory logs provide added durability and attractive wood grains. Cedar logs present a distinctive reddish tinge unique to the variety.

With several different styles to choose from, log beds give you options when you are designing a bedroom. A natural choice for a children's room, they come in bunk bed profiles as well as single twins. Their rugged lines and refreshable finishes are equal to a good deal of wear and tear.

A teen might prefer a canopy bed for a rustic yet versatile look. Changing the bed curtains to suit seasonal decor keeps a log canopy bed updated. A pile of vividly hued pillows softens the square lines of a canopy frame to create a softer, more relaxing atmosphere.

Queen or king-sized log beds fill master bedrooms with the honeyed tones of real wood. Many manufacturers use environmentally friendly finishes on their peeled log furnishings, so couples can rest assured of a healthy night's sleep. The addition of a feather bed topper, soft flannel sheets and an antique quilt coverlet completes a pleasing profile of opulent -- albeit rustic -- luxury.

In the guest room, log furnishings offer a welcome departure from anonymity. The silky, solid wood surfaces and the warm embrace of natural wood help make guests feel comfortable. A matching log bureau topped with a vase of fresh wildflowers conjures the vision of a country vacation, even in the heart of the city.

Decorating with long-lasting, natural log furnishings gives bedrooms unparalleled appeal. With their natural, neutral tones and versatile profiles, they blend beautifully into a variety of different settings.
