Twin beds often make an appearance for a very specific, functional reason: Maybe your kids share a room or you’re trying to host as many guests as possible in your vacation home or you’re just tight on square feet. Sure, they’re practical, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be pretty, too.
We’re here to celebrate the visual impact of the double twin bed. The symmetry that the side-by-side provides is a grounding base from which you can mirror or mismatch to any degree. Whether you’ve styled them in alternate colorways of the same pattern or they’re identical down to the footstool, your statement will be made twice as strong.
These seven rooms (and their coordinating accessories) prove that when it comes to twin beds, two actually is better than one.
Rest Nest
When opting for an almost-black paint, you run the risk of making a space dark and dungeon-y. The bedroom, however, seems to be an exception. It’s the one place you’re most likely to get away with a midnight hue, which can create calming vibes, even when you have a neighbor.

If this Tuscany hotel room doesn’t convince you that twin beds aren’t just for children’s rooms, we don’t know what will. Silvery gray velvet bed covers with matching bolsters make this pair so sleek they’re almost chaise-like.
