You spend nearly 1/3 of your life in bed, so it only makes sense that you should have quality bedroom furniture. Whether you’re looking to fill out a master bedroom or just want to add clothing storage to your apartment, the right pieces can make all the difference. Not sure where to start? The Adirondack Furniture team offers suggestions for key bedroom furniture choices that will make yours a functional, welcoming retreat.
Start With the Right Bed
A sturdy, attractive bed is the cornerstone of any bedroom. As the focal point of the room, it sets the tone for all other furnishings. What many furniture shoppers aren’t aware of is that a bed frame can help extend the life of your mattress. A strong, properly built frame provides the support your mattress needs to wear evenly and remain comfortable over time.
Beds come in many shapes and sizes, so you’ll need to check the available space and determine which will best suit your bedroom. From durable, rustic wood to sleek and modern metal, there’s likely an option that will make the most of your space.
Dressers And Nightstands
While the bed is often the centerpiece of the room, functional storage is just as important. You need a designated place for your clothing, extra bedding, jewelry, cosmetics, and more, and a matching dresser and nightstand help bring your room together. Dressers provide multiple drawers that save space in your closet with neat, concealed storage for everything from clothing to accessories.
Nightstands sit bedside and allow space for smaller items that you’ll need just before getting into or out of bed – think your glasses, alarm clock, a charging phone, or the book you read before dozing off. It’s also a great place for a table lamp. In addition to their functional benefits, complementary dressers and nightstands help provide a cohesive look throughout your bedroom.
Armoires And Wardrobes
Sometimes it seems there’s never enough storage space, even with generous closets. Adding an armoire or wardrobe is a smart option for those who need more room for clothing, and many options offer additional storage solutions as well. Taller armoires house pants, dresses, and other garments without creating lines due to folding, while wider selections may include a spot for jewelry or other items. If you love to watch the late show in bed, a shorter option makes a great place for your TV as well.
Benches
Placing a bench at the end of your bed adds a stylish touch that you’ll get plenty of use from. Not only will a bench provide room for throws and decorative pillows, but it’s an ideal place to pull on your shoes before heading out for the day. You might consider a bench with built-in storage as well to keep footwear, seasonal items, and more out of sight.
Mirrors
Everyone appreciates the useful aspect of mirrors. After all, we want to look our best before heading off for a day of work or a night on the town. But mirrors can also serve an important interior design function. Adding a mirror to your bedroom reflects the space, opening it up for a larger, more airy feel. Mirrors can also brighten your bedroom by reflecting natural light, even when windows are limited.
