A design which is very different from others you'll see, modern four poster beds are quite unique in their own way. While some designs are simple, there are more natural designs such as those which use branches to create elegant posts. A light pine wood is used for the bed frame, followed by matching colored branches for the four posts around the bed. This natural effect is created not only with the fact there are branches or faux branches being used, but also since the size and shape is slightly different for each one, going against the typical uniform designs which we are used to seeing.
