5 Pieces Of Furniture Every Bedroom Needs

Posted on - 3rd August 2020

Our bedrooms aren’t just for sleeping. For many of us they are a place to rest and relax, whether that’s taking a nap, reading a book, pampering ourselves or getting ready in the morning. For that reason, there are a few staple pieces of furniture every bedroom should have. In this article, we’ll take a look at 5 pieces of furniture every bedroom should have and how you can style them in your home to create a relaxing atmosphere that is conducive to a good night’s sleep.

Essential Bedroom Furniture

Bed

Yes, you guessed it. One piece of furniture every bedroom should have is a bed - it goes without saying. However, there are all types of beds and mattresses available on the market, and choosing the right one is pretty important considering we spend such a large portion of our lives sleeping. Not only do you need to give some thought to the bed frame itself but also the mattress and the type of support you need from a bed.

From divan beds to metal, wood and upholstered beds, there’s a whole world of beds out there to choose from. Ottoman and storage beds are also becoming increasingly popular and solve a big problem for bedrooms that are short on space. Whether you use them a place to store your scatter cushions while you sleep or reserve it as a spot for your unused seasonal clothing, extra storage always comes in handy no matter what.

When it comes to choosing the right mattress, you also need to consider the type of support you need. Many mattresses are rated in terms of their firmness and the type of support they provide, while some feature memory foam toppers which shape themselves to your body.

Chest Of Drawers

A good chest of drawers is handy for storage and can be a fantastic style statement in any bedroom. From classic, traditional styles that work effortlessly with wooden bed frames to glossy contemporary styles with clean lines, chests of drawers are available in a wide range of sizes and styles perfect for an bedroom space.

Another great thing about a chest of drawers is that they provide a space for finishing touches such as ornaments, trinkets, table lamps, a mirror, pictures, vases and candles. This is a great way to put your stamp on a room without the need for extensive decorating.

Wardrobe

Everyone needs a place to put their clothes! No matter your style, having somewhere to put your clothes is an outright necessity. And if you’re not lucky enough to have your own walk in wardrobe separate from your bedroom, it’s likely that your wardrobe lives in your bedroom. A good wardrobe should be sturdy and have room for the majority of your clothes. If you favour a capsule wardrobe then a smaller wardrobe will help free up room in your bedroom for other furniture and mod cons. Built in wardrobes are also a great choice that integrate seamlessly into the room.

Bedside Table

A bedside table isn’t just a great interior decor element, it’s a functional furniture piece that can be used to frame your bed and complement your decor. Whether you favour contemporary, industrial or classic styles, a good bedside table is a fantastic place for a reading lamp, your alarm clock, and charging your phone every night!

Lighting

Lighting is so important in your bedroom. Ideally, a bedroom should have two different types of lighting. That is, a main light which can be utilised when maximum illumination is needed ana gentler light for winding down and relaxation.

Pendant lighting, floor lamps, table lamps and string lights are all fantastic additions to a bedroom and can be used to great effect to create a cosy, welcoming atmosphere that’s conducive to good night's sleep.
