Keep These Things in Mind While Buying Bedroom Furniture

The bedroom is one of the most important spaces in the home, but we don’t really buy bedroom furniture often. Most people may have bought furniture pieces of their bedroom maybe once or at most twice in their lives. So buying new bedroom furniture can be a little overwhelming. Here are some pointers that will help you work it out.

Space

Start by measuring your bedroom. Make a rough sketch of the area and mark the dimensions of it, including where the door is and if there are any windows. Carry this with you when you go furniture shopping.

Style

Now, work out a theme for the room. Do you want something stately and traditional, or modern, simple, and clean? Or do you want something that lies in the middle of the two? Ensure that the furniture blends with the overall decor of your house. You’ll need to match the pieces you buy to any other furniture, fixture, or decor you’ll have in the room.

Bed

Start by working out what headboard and footboard options work for you. Ensure that the footboard is comfortable given your height and that the headboard doesn’t block a window. You can evaluate the style and size of the bed as per your tastes and needs. Don’t forget to work out the type of mattress you’ll buy as well.

Nightstand

This is a necessary bed extension. A nightstand is a convenient space to place often needed items like glasses, phones, lamps, or alarm clocks. Chests, dressers, and armoires: Choose these are the space available and the storage solutions you need. Chests are great for limited floor space as they’re taller and have five to seven drawers stacked vertically. Dressers are wide and often have a mirror above. They’re best when shared by two people. Armoires are great if you’re hanging clothes. You can combine several pieces if you have the space and the need. They could be placed around the room as per its layout or even placed together to form one large unit. Media: If you have the floor space to spare, consider a media chest or simply mount your TV above a dresser or a media shelf.
