Your bedroom is more than just the place you go to sleep. It’s often also your dressing room, five minutes of peace and sanctuary. So, it’s important you have all the essential furniture items to accommodate this. Here are our suggestions for some of the fundamental pieces of furniture for your bedroom.
The most important feature of your bedroom is the bed. This is where you retreat after a long day, and you’ll spend approximately a third of your life there, so choosing the right one is important! You may want to choose your bed based on style or practicality. An ottoman bed is great for the extra storage, which makes it a good mix of both, while a metal bed frame is more decorative, and an oak more natural.
The next item you’ll need is something to store your clothes. Do you like to hang everything up to avoid creases? Then a wardrobe is probably your best option. Many people have a chest of drawers for their more delicate items, which doubles up as another surface for your bedroom accessories. You may opt for one of each, or try a combi wardrobe which has the best of both worlds.
A bedside table brings the room together and makes it look more sophisticated. Ideal for storing your night-time reading material, any sleep essentials and a bedside lamp, a bedside table is both practical and stylish. A lamp gives the room additional light and ambience, so it may be worth adding one to your bedroom shopping list!
If you have some extra room to fill, you may want to get some additional furniture to make the room feel complete. For example, if you like somewhere to sit and do your personal grooming or apply your makeup, it may be worth adding a dressing table. This can also provide an air of luxury to your bedroom. Some people like to feature an accent chair in their bedroom to tie the room together. It may be somewhere to sit and read or where all of your clothes end up – so consider this one carefully!
