There are a few things that are necessary to complete your sleeping space. A couple of accompanying nightstands for storage, linens, and of course, a mattress<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, a bed frame<\/a> is a must-have for your bed setup. Metal bed frames are a popular option, but they aren’t always the most stylish to include in a space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re looking for ideas on how to hide metal bed frame legs, you\u2019re in luck. Ashley Ferguson, principal designer of Ashley Ferguson Interiors<\/a>, is here to share her best tricks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to hide bed frame legs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Turn to a bed skirt<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBed skirts are the heavy hitter when it comes to hiding bed frame legs,\u201d Ferguson says. \u201cThere are so many different types of skirting options\u2014tailored, box pleat, gathered, and the list goes on.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The skirt can be a great area to get some fun fabric into your room as well, adds Ferguson. “Simple bedding<\/a> and a fun print on the bed skirt can make a tr\u00e9s chic room,” she says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wrap with a cover<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To \u201cbring some softness to your room,\u201d as Ferguson says, consider one of the newer wraparound bed wraps. These look less skirt-like and more like they\u2019re simply part of the bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Opt for bedding that reaches the floor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ferguson recommends choosing \u201cto-the-floor bedding\u201d to cover up those metal bed frame legs. Specifically, she suggests a heavy-weight bed cover. \u201cThey are very en vogue currently, and add a great look to the space,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Utilize furniture<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Another way to hide the legs is through your furniture choices. Ferguson advises creating \u201ca sitting area at the front of the bed\u201d or choosing \u201ca long\u00a0bench<\/a>\u00a0that can double as storage.\u201d Just make sure it’s long enough to hide the legs, she says.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try metal sleeves<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ferguson says you can find metal sleeves to hide your bed frame legs. These act like caps that the feet sit in. \u201cIf your bedding hangs low enough, they should cover the legs, and all you\u2019ll see are the cool feet,\u201d she explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embrace the metal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEmbrace the metal and paint it a fun color,\u201d suggests Ferguson. \u201cGive your room some pop with a totally unexpected color painted on the metal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bottom line: If your budget is geared more toward a metal bed frame, at least there are many ways to minimize its look if the metallic details aren\u2019t all that appealing to you. Paint is very nearly free, while bed skirts, wraps, and sleeves are also cost-effective options.<\/p>\n\n\n

FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

How do you cover a metal bed frame?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re wondering how to hide legs on a metal bed frame, you\u2019ll be pleased to know that there are lots of ways to go about it. You can go with a bed skirt, a wraparound cover, bedding that reaches the floor, camouflaging furniture, or metal sleeves for the feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can I hide my bed frame without a bed skirt?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Instead of a bed skirt, you can consider the wraparound cover, which is a more modern take on a bed skirt. Or, hide the frame with furniture by creating a seating area in front of the bed or opting for a long bench. There are also special metal sleeves that the feet can go into, which look more stylish than the standard metal legs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do you hide the bottom of an adjustable bed frame?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe easiest way to hide an adjustable bed frame<\/span> is to use a bed skirt or dust ruffle, paired with a bench or a piece of furniture at the end of the bed,\u201d Ferguson says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
