Sleep in Style with French Country & Painted Beds and Headboards
Belle Escape offers an extensive collection of French country beds and headboards that bring relaxed European elegance to your bedroom. From distressed painted finishes and artistic motifs to timeless carved silhouettes, our beds and headboards balance old-world craftsmanship with everyday comfort. For authentic French style, pair a French-style bed with soft linen bedding and layer with natural textiles—washed linen, matelassé, or subtle patterns—for an inviting, lived-in look. Complete the space with wood-carved nightstands, antique-inspired accents, and a touch of patina for timeless French charm.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I choose the right bed size for my room?
Allow at least 30–36 inches of clearance around the bed for comfortable movement. In smaller rooms, consider a headboard paired with a simpler frame to keep the space feeling open. - Do finishes vary from piece to piece?
Yes. Our beds and headboards are handcrafted, and natural variations in paint tone, wood grain, and distressing are part of their authentic French character. - Custom Beds and Headboards

Pro Tip: To create a cohesive French country bedroom, pair your bed or headboard with a linen or cotton duvet, a carved nightstand, and warm accent lighting. Layer textures rather than patterns to keep the look timeless and serene.
