Your bedroom set is made essentially for rest and therefore your furniture should be comfortable before anything else. You should also style your bedroom according to your taste and preference. You can put as much furniture as you want in your bedroom but remember to keep it spacious and free. The basic furniture, however, should be for sleep and storage before moving on to the more sophisticated pieces. Here is a simple guide to furnishing your bedroom.
A Nice Bed
The bed is the center of your bedroom and it sets the mood for all the other furniture. It is important to first choose a functional and comfortable bed. It is advisable to test a bed before buying it. Lie on it to see if it is long and wide enough.
You can also have a set of measurements in mind when you visit the store based on the size of your bedroom. Any furniture Singapore retailer should be able to advise you on the right type and size of bed to buy. For couples, choose a bed alongside your partner to ensure it is big and comfortable enough for both of you. If a queen size bed is too small, there are options for king, super king or even emperor beds.
Once you have the right type and measurements for your bed, you can explore different designs. A headboard is the most visible feature of a bed, so choose one that will set the mood for the entire bedroom. A lot of headboards have fabric fittings of different colours while some are entirely made of wood or metal. You can however go for a more subtle headboard for a simplistic and cosy look.
A Pair of Nightstands?
Nightstands offer a lot of functionality and convenience when you sleep. You can use them to place your books, lamps, alarm clocks and basically anything else you need. Most nightstands also have drawers and compartments for added storage space. They are a great style feature too and they complement the frame of your bed. As such, choose a nightstand that matches your bed frame’s colour or material. Most furniture Singapore retailers sell beds with a matching pair of nightstands to save you the hassle of buying them separately.
Must Get a Dresser
Dressers are primarily used for storing clothes and other personal items, but they can become another focal point of your bedroom decor. The first step is to get the size right. Ensure your dresser is big enough to store everything you need. Since they are usually kept against the wall, ensure your dresser stays out of the way of doors and windows and leaves sufficient floor space in your room.
Ensure your dresser conforms to your style by choosing the right color and material. You can go for a dresser that comes with a mirror to create the illusion of space. You can place picture frames, vases and all forms of decorative pieces on top of your dresser to crown your bedroom decor.
Finally
After you’ve mastered the basics of sleep and storage, you can sophisticate your bedroom further with other pieces of furniture, such as vanities, benches, work tables and cupboards. After buying all the furniture you want, always ensure that you arrange it neatly to maximize on floor space.
