Few additions to your bedroom define the space more than the bedroom
furniture set you purchase. Bedroom furniture is something that, when
chosen wisely, gives your bedroom character and compliments your
personality and tastes. Of course, choosing the right furniture can also
make a huge difference when it comes to maximizing space usage and
storage, so it's important to take into account both your needs and
desires before you purchase a new bedroom furniture set.
Basic Bedroom Design
The right bedroom design for you varies depending on what you use your bedroom for. Is just a place where you sleep away the night? In that case focus on the bed and little else. If you're like most homeowners, however, the bedroom has become a multi-purpose space. Avid readers probably will want to incorporate a nightstand and bookshelves into their design plan, while movie buffs and television addicts should explore television wall mounts or T.V. stands. Fashion devotees probably need to consider larger clothes storage needs, and purchase the appropriate wardrobes, dressers, and other storage solutions. Before you start shopping, sit down and make a list of what your bedroom is used for and look for furniture that compliments that.
What Bedroom Furniture Do You Need (And What Do You Not?)
Some homeowners have the luxury of spacious bedrooms that can accommodate just about any furniture choices they make. For the rest of us, it's important to be realistic about weighing needs and desires. Is a king sized bed the best choice, or would a queen sized bed allow for that much needed second dresser? Sure, two nightstands add a touch of symmetry to any bedroom, but would purchasing just one free up space and give your bedroom a more open and inviting feel? And that antique wardrobe is a stunning piece, but keep in mind it's going to take up most of an entire wall. If it's the perfect fit, go for it. But something a little smaller and compact might be a better choice if you're pressed for space.
Think Space and Storage
By now you've probably noticed a theme coming through here: even the most beautiful bedroom furniture set can make a room feel cramped and uncomfortable if it's overdone. The best way to avoid this is to look for furniture solutions that provide both looks and storage. Platform beds, for example, offer ample storage space underneath either in open space or built in drawers. A shoulder height lingerie chest provides more storage space in the same area than a delicate Queen Anne style dresser. And a nightstand with drawers and cabinets is always a better choice than a small end table. Generally when it comes to bedroom design, more storage in less space is the way to go. It will mean you'll be able to enjoy the furniture you do have more, and because you'll have ample storage space for your needs, you won't be constantly fighting the clutter and inconvenience that is so common when you run out of space to put all your stuff.
Take Advantage of Expert Advice
When it comes to designing the perfect bedroom for you, there are two resources you'd be remiss not to look into. The first is a good interior decorator. They are more than skilled in optimizing space and beautifying rooms at the same time, and you'd be amazed how valuable their services can be. The second is a good custom furniture builder. If you have the means, you'll be getting exactly the look you want in your bedroom furniture, it will be built to last (unlike so much of the stock furniture available to customers at retail outlets), and it can be built specifically for your needs. Both professionals and their services are well worth the extra investment in the end.
