I’ve had something to say for a while. I have been nervous to share not knowing what the response would be, but here it goes. Trade in your guest room double bed for a pair of twins! I know I know, what am I talking about – have I gone crazy?! I wasn’t sure myself at first but over the last year I have been falling in love with daybeds and twin bedframes and now I can’t get enough! Have you ever had something stuck in your head, and suddenly you start seeing it everywhere? As I was flipping through HULU the other week, I came across the Dick Van Dyke show. My love of Mary Poppins (and his part in particular) had me tuning into the show and I couldn’t believe my eyes. Twin beds! I knew it was fate (and of course 1961 sensor laws) that had me positive it was a sign that twin beds are not only the past but the future. Now I am not telling you and your spouse to hop into separate twins (although sometimes with my husband’s snoring, a girl can be tempted) but twin beds are a trendy and versatile way to spruce up a spare bedroom.
Twin beds are perfect for accommodating all types of visitors. Whether it is a couple of friends who took advantage of wine night, my son’s best friends, or my nieces and nephews coming for a sleepover, they have the perfect spot to rest their weary heads. Sometimes it is hard to know the dynamics of visitors and having separate places to snooze eliminates any potential awkwardness!
Not only are twin beds functional, but they can also open up your room and add style to your space. Twin beds are not just for kids – there is a plethora of styles that can add a sophisticated touch to your existing décor. While the options we’re showcasing in this post are wood or metal, there are some fabulous upholstered options that give you one more way to add in another textile and pattern. Plus, this pretty adjustment leaves plenty of room for that cute table or chest you’ve been wanting to display!
It is so fun to play around with new room formations, that is one of the many things I love about the shop – no limits on how many times we can rearrange and redecorate! Come by and play with us this season and find your next must-have décor items. Until next time – happy decorating.

September 28, 2021 at 9:46 amThese were from a home shoot we did last year so we don’t have that model in the shop right now. However there is a wide variety of metal twin beds that can be special ordered through one of our designers. I would be happy to assist you in finding one you love – just email us at info@nellhills.com
