White Oak Beds - Platform, Storage, and Other Frames

This white oak bed is all about contrasts. For example, the straight lines of the inset paneling and tops of the headboard and footboard are the opposite of the attention-grabbing bowed sides that accent the frame. What’s more, two-toned stain options enable you to further customize this bed to embrace bold color contrasts. The end result is a white oak bed frame that feels refreshingly modern while simultaneously paying homage to classic style elements.

As its name clearly suggests, the Felipe Mission Panel Bed is a celebration of mission design thanks to its straight lines, subtly carved panels, and overall minimalist appearance. As discussed in Design Guide to Mission Style Furniture from Amish Artisans, both red and white oak are staples of this iconic American style, making white oak a perfect choice for this particular bed frame.

Showing how minimalist style is more than capable of making a splash is the Bankston Bed, shown in quartersawn white oak. Compatible with both mattresses and boxprings, this bed frame can best be described as transitionally-styled, a furniture theme that straddles the line between traditional and contemporary.

So far, the predominant form of white oak displayed amongst the highlighted bed frames was quartersawn white oak. However, the Bering Sea Poster Bed is photographed in a variation of this wood option, rustic quartersawn white oak. The key difference? This timber is chosen for its distinctive ruggedness, from mineral deposits to color variations. The end result is a bed that feels truly one-of-a-kind, meringue the eloquence of a traditional poster bed with woodsy undertones.

Another bed frame that shows off the more rugged potential of white oak is the Lachine Panel Bed, also exhibited in rustic quartersawn white oak. Choose the more organic treatment of this wood species, and the bed will feel right at home amongst a farmhouse-themed or industrial bedroom. However, opt for the more polished quartersawn white oak, and the bed frame’s simple design can lend itself to both traditional mission decor or modern vibes.

Bed frames available in white oak extend well beyond the silhouettes covered so far. Case in point, our practical and stylish Mission Hills Murphy Bed was photographed in Quartersawn White Oak. 

Like all of our Amish-crafted murphy beds, this piece is designed for a smooth, easy set-up that requires no heavy lifting. Available in sizes Twin through Queen, this bed frame can come with (or without) the bookcases. Additional customization options include the wood species, coloring, and even the types of hardware.

The mission-inspired Alpine bedroom set—shown in Quartersawn White Oak—includes an impressive 40 different pieces that all coordinate with one another. While the panel bed complete with artistic cut-outs is the foundation of the collection, shoppers can pick and choose from a generous range of storage units of varying sizes, spanning from petite drawer chests to the aptly named Alpine Deluxe Mule Chest.

The Ravalli Bedroom Set features two different panel beds, one with an upholstered headboard and the other without. However, both feature handsome arched bases and modern minimalism, a look that echoes throughout the set’s accompanying dresser, bedside table, and 5-drawer. All bedroom pieces were photographed in quartersawn white oak.
