subject: Choosing Of Bedroom Furniture [print this page] Bedrooms are basically sanctuariesBedrooms are basically sanctuaries. A bedroom is a personal space where we sleep, curl up with an interesting book, or shut ourselves away from the world and the everyday stresses of our normal lives. The fact is, whatever we do in the bedroom, the appropriate and most useful types of furniture are essential.
Points for consideration before buying bedroom furniture:
- Material: The most common material used for making bedroom furniture is a compressed form of particleboard. This has a nice look, is functional and will not be overly costly. Other materials used are metal or hardwood. You have to choose your furniture on the basis of whether you are looking for items that will last for generations or are simply wishing to get a few years of good use out of the item.
- Colour scheme: Identical colour scheme of all the bedroom furniture brings forward a welcoming ambience. Mixing and matching of colours also can be done to enhance the beauty of your bedroom.
Choice of furniture
- Bed: You should initiate your bedroom layout planning, by focusing on the bed first. A strong and comfortable bed is the most vital item in your bedroom. The base of the bed should be well built and sturdy. The mattress must be firm and comfortable. There are other types of beds such as sofas and trundles, which are great when space is limited or for unexpected visitors. These are adjustable space saving beds useful in a small room. When selecting a bed, do ensure that it goes well with the room size and allows you unrestricted movement in and around the room.
- Dressing table: A mirror and dressing table needs to be installed for makeup and personal grooming. This may be a distinct piece or incorporated inside wardrobe units.
- Chest of drawers: This will give you an additional space for storage in your room. A cedar chest may be utilised for storage of seasonal clothing or for storing treasured items.
- Armoire: If you lack closet space, a suitable storage in order to hang clothes as well as additional items can be found in the form of Armoires. Armoires can also provide space for keeping televisions.
- Writing desk: A small writing desk may be placed near a window of your bedroom for reading, writing or homework for children.
- Nightstands: Nightstands are generally kept near a bed. You may select a table and cover it with a small cloth or have small stands consisting of drawers and shelves to cater to your needs. A lamp and a good book may be kept near the nightstand at night to be easily accessible.
- Ottoman: Ottomans are available in many styles, and sizes. These are usually portable and can be placed near beds or bed ends.
- Bookcase: Certain individuals enjoy reading before going to bed. Bookcases can be kept close to the bed. Small bookcases serve the purpose of nightstands and tall ones may be made use of, as dressers.
Selecting the right kind of bedroom furniture creates an inviting space and is able to reflect your personality and individual style.
