Choosing the Right Bedroom Furniture

The most important piece of furniture in your bedroom is your bed. It should be the main focus of the room and your jumping-off point when creating your bedroom design. Start by measuring your bedroom and consider the various sizes available to you with the space you have. You want to ensure that you add approximately 4" to the length of the bed for a headboard and foot-board. You will also want to make sure that the bed is not too big for the space, preventing your from adding other furniture or overwhelming the space.

• King measures 76 to 78 x 80 inches
• California King measures 72 x 84 inches
• Queen measures 60 x 80 inches
• Double or Full measures 54 x 75 inches

You want at least 30 inches of walking space around the sides and foot of the bed, so consider the above bed measurements carefully to choose the right bed size for your space.

Functionality

While the bed is the most important piece of furniture in the bedroom, you may also find that you need additional storage. Not all bedrooms feature large closets. If this is your situation, consider incorporating a dresser or chest of drawers into your design. You can also consider incorporating shelves as they are often easier to use than drawers because you can see what it holds. You can also opt for nightstands that have drawers, allowing for even more storage. Night stands are also great places to place lamps, alarm clocks, telephones, or anything else you may need to easily reach.

Because the bed will take up the bulk of the floor space in your bedroom, carefully consider the other furniture you include in the space, ensuring it serves a function and is not wasting precious space.

Add Some Personality

Your bedroom is a reflection of your own personality. It is the most personal and intimate area of your home, so make sure it reflects you and helps you relax. Accessories are a great way to add personality to a space. Your personality can easily be expressed through the artwork you display, the colors and patterns you choose, and even the knickknacks you feature. When you find something that speaks to you, consider incorporating it into your design.
