Bedroom Design: From Forest Floor To Fitted Furniture

Bedroom Design: from forest floor to fitted furniture

Fitted furniture could be the perfect solution for your bedroom. Offering extra storage and more room through clever space-saving, and lending your bedroom design a uniformity by using the same material throughout, having your bedroom furniture fitted is likely to leave you with a room that's a joy to be in. The process, which takes you all the way from a design for your bedroom to a finished product, with furniture fitted precisely to your bedroom by a skilled carpenter, is a fascinating one, and it's easy to see from the care taken at each stage why the finished article speaks so clearly of quality.

The process begins with the raw materials - with trees that are chosen for maturity and suitability for the furniture-making process. Many British manufacturers of furniture, particularly firms that offer bespoke fitted furniture, have policies in place to ensure the sustainability of commercially used timber both in the UK and abroad. The Heartwood Forest project in Hertfordshire, for instance, aims to create the largest new forest of native species in Britain - over 850 acres of woodland. That's a good thing for furniture manufacturers, as many of our native British trees are ideal for woodworking.

There is a distinction between hardwoods and softwoods that is more complicated than simply their durability - suffice it to say that many softwoods are just as durable as hardwoods, and that they tend to be easier to work with. English oak is a hardwood, but a popular choice for the traditional feel it gives to a bedroom, where pine and cedar are softwoods, and just as popular for modern fitted furniture.

The harvesting and machining of timber is a traditional process itself, and a wide range of decorative effects that can be produced even at this early stage of creating a piece of furniture. The timber can be as cleanly and neatly cut as desired, so that furniture makers can create a polished elegance or a more raw quality to fit any bedroom design. The next stages will depend on that bedroom design, but for fitted furniture a carpenter will have to decide - most often in close consultation with his customer - exactly the form of the furniture he will fit to the bedroom. Fitted furniture is prepared and installed using techniques that are traditional: techniques that have become traditional for their reliability and aesthetic appeal. A bedroom will really begin to take shape from the timber as the carpenter works, and this is where the choice of timber can really be seen to make a difference to the appearance of the bedroom. One of the advantages of choosing furniture that is made from quality timber and fitted exactly to a bedroom design is that the choice of wood lends its character naturally and effortlessly to the bedroom. Pine and cedar fitted furniture can be very easily used to give a bedroom a modern and clean look, for instance, where a bedroom design that features oak can easily be made to feel warm and traditional.

As you would expect from a process that emphasises quality materials and skilled craftsmanship at every stage, using natural timber to create furniture that is fitted to your bedroom design can really transform the room. In fact, it could be the combination of traditional techniques and innovative, space-saving bedroom design that makes fitted furniture a popular choice for a bedroom that isn't just a place to sleep, but a pleasure to be in.
