The bedroom is one of the main and most sacred rooms in our house. A place where we can retire from others and fully relax at the end of a hard day, feel as relaxed and comfortable as possible. Bedroom furniture should provide rest for your body and soul. Functionality, quality, comfort, and style of furniture are usually considered especially carefully because they will help to create a special cozy and relaxing atmosphere in the bedroom.

Are you looking for an entire bedroom furniture set or just a few pieces? First of all, you need to decide what to give preference to – a ready-made headset or individual furniture elements that can be combined with each other in style and color. It’s convenient that freestanding options can be replaced every few years if you want to update the interior, but the furniture set has its advantages – all items and accessories in the set are perfectly combined with each other in design and color and you don’t have to waste time choosing them. In addition, the cost of such a set, as a rule, is more profitable than the purchase of individual elements. So what to choose? It depends on your budget and the size of the bedroom. The minimal equipment for the bedroom includes several essential elements: a bed (most often double), nightstands, and a wardrobe. Additionally, if there is enough free space in the bedroom, you can furnish it with other functional items, such as a mirror, a chest of drawers, a reading chair and a coffee table, a dresser, a desk, or an ottoman for the end of your bed.

About 5 thousand years ago, the ancient Sumerians began to allocate special rooms in their dwellings, where they are equipped with a small elevation for sleeping. It was this solid trestle bed that was the progenitor of today’s bed. Of course, modern recreational devices are much more comfortable, and they look more attractive. This centerpiece of any bedroom consists of a frame, a mattress, and a spring box or wooden slats base for the mattress. The bed frame is responsible for the strength and durability of a bed. The most reliable options are usually hardwood and metal. The base of the bed, the surface on which the mattress rests, can be made from a single sheet of plywood, chipboard, or separate slats. A standard chipboard sheet, which was previously often used under a mattress, is practically not used by modern manufacturers as it does not have the proper orthopedic effect and also does not provide proper air circulation for ventilation of the mattress. When choosing such an important element as a mattress, one should take into account the age and weight of the sleepers, as well as their individual preferences for the softness of the sleeping bed.

If you are the lucky owner of a separate dressing room, only bedside tables and a chest of drawers can be placed in the bedroom – the more free space, the better. Otherwise, the bedroom needs an armoire or a wardrobe, which will compactly accommodate bedding and clothes for storage. Wardrobes can be freestanding or fitted. The former can be moved in case of rearrangement of furniture, the latter are stationary. There are also several models of cabinets – sliding wardrobe, hinged, or corner. Sliding wardrobe doors save space and are the perfect choice for small bedrooms. Hinged door cabinets are more convenient to use – you can view all the contents at once by opening all the doors, moreover, as a rule, such cabinets have a more affordable price. To visually increase the space of a small bedroom, it is recommended to choose cabinets with mirrored facades, as well as place additional mirrors on the walls.

In the bedroom, you can relax not only physically, but also mentally cozily sitting with a book or working comfortably on documents. And although experts do not recommend equipping a workplace in the bedroom, in small apartments sometimes you have to create a small work area right there. For these purposes, you can install a desk or a special hanging console, supplement them with spacious hanging or floor shelves for storing books and other necessary little things, a comfortable armchair, and a stylish floor lamp for working in the evening. Arranging a reading nook in the bedroom does not at all contradict relaxation.

A good dressing table can really elevate a bedroom. A dressing table is an obligatory attribute of the bedroom where the fair sex lives. A spacious countertop or a sufficient number of shelves to accommodate cosmetics and beauty accessories, together with a large mirror, ensure the functionality and indispensability of this element of bedroom furniture. It is also desirable to equip the women’s corner with a separate backlight and complete it with a comfortable ottoman.

When choosing furniture, pay special attention to accessories. It is desirable that it be made of high-quality metal, which will ensure its durability. Check that the doors and drawers open easily, do not jam during operation, and are equipped with closers and shock absorbers, which will significantly extend the life of the furniture and make its operation more comfortable.
