Price History
Description
Rob Scarlett’s hugely popular Brunel range sets industrial style against mid-century Scandinavian design to create pieces made for modern living. The Brunel Bed features a solid oak frame and headboard that is tailored in smokey grey fabric, complete with button cushion detail.
Our Stylist Says
I’m a fan of the Brunel bed for its clean lines and mix of oak and grey upholstery - it fits right into Scandi, industrial-leaning or pared-back contemporary rooms. Its low profile and hairpin legs keep the scheme feeling light and uncluttered. Styling tip: layer crisp white or neutral linens with a textured throw and a couple of cushions in muted tones or a single accent hue. Pair with simple wood or metal bedside tables, a soft rug underfoot and a streamlined bedside lamp. A leafy plant in the corner and a framed print above the headboard will complete the look without overwhelming the space.

About Heal's
A Rich Legacy in Furniture Design
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
Influences and Design Philosophy
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
Modern Expansion and Growth
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
