Bedroom furniture is designed for relaxation; it should be comfortable, functional and attractive. But how to choose it correctly so that it really fulfills its functions and creates a feeling of coziness and comfort?
Why should you buy a complete bedroom set?
Before we get into the step-by-step guide to purchasing these important bedroom furniture pieces, let's first cover the basics.
Why even consider a complete kit? There are two reasons for this. Firstly, bedroom sets must match each other. A traditional five-piece bedroom set typically includes a bed and headboard, a chest of drawers, two nightstands and a mirror.
All these elements are perfectly designed to provide a uniform and beautiful look that will ultimately make it easier for you to decorate your entire bedroom. Secondly, we all know how difficult it is to find different pieces of bedroom furniture that match the design.
A set of bedroom furniture minimizes the search for the right design. With just one purchase, you can easily get everything you need for your room.
Style directions
The frantic pace of life and information overload of our days justifiably evoke a natural desire to feel exclusively comfort and coziness in a living space.
The bedroom should be doubly conducive to relaxation. Pretentiousness and luxury are increasingly giving way to practicality, lightness and minimalism.
A modern interior includes elements of one or more established styles and takes into account the latest technological developments, as well as the latest fashion trends in design.
Creativity and originality are encouraged. High-tech and art deco, minimalism and Provence are perfectly combined. Next, we will consider in more detail those styles that are usually taken as a basis.
High tech
Appeared at the end of the 20th century as a consequence of the development of high technology and the fashion for futurism. Characterized by clear lines, simple shapes, light and even transparent shades, and open space. Metal and glass predominate. No or minimal use of wooden products is used. Bulky chandeliers are excluded. Instead, several lighting fixtures are installed for zoned lighting.
A high-tech bedroom may include a large, laconic design bed made of modern materials, a transformable leather sofa or eco-leather chairs, glass bedside tables, light curtains or blinds.
Minimalism
It is distinguished by the absence of unnecessary details. Allows only the most necessary. Characterized by simplicity, convenience, free space, light. Solid, calm colors are used. Matte surfaces are welcome, without gloss or shine.
Unlike high-tech, wooden objects are present in the interior, but in a strict design, without unnecessary decor. Nothing should weigh down the space. Ideal for introverts and lovers of healthy asceticism.
Provence
Comfort and simplicity are the main trump cards. Imagine a cute village house in the vast French countryside. This is roughly what a Provence style room looks like from the inside.
Calm pastel colors (pale pink, pale blue, milky coffee, light lilac). Matte surfaces. Deliberate simplicity in finishing (rough plaster, wood, stone). An abundance of textiles in the decor (curtains, rugs, pillows, bedspreads). Floral ornament.
The result is a light and romantic interior with its own unique charm.
Art Deco
The most expressive style presented above. It is chosen by lovers of brilliance and luxury. Characteristic combinations of white and black interspersed with “expensive” colors (such as deep ruby, bright emerald or shimmering sapphire), silver and gold, metal and wood.
Smooth mirror surfaces are preferred: lacquered furniture, glass objects, mirrors. No floral motifs. The decoration is complemented by items made of silk, satin, and fur.
Whatever style you choose as a basis, remember practicality and comfort. A modern bedroom should be pleasing to the eye, while remaining the main place in the house for restoring physical and mental strength.
Choose your style
What interior style do you prefer? Clean and minimalist, warm and rustic, or classic and traditional? The furniture and furnishings you choose should reflect this style.
- If you have some items that you would like to keep for sentimental reasons, you should choose others that do not conflict with them.
- Try to find a unified theme, because the bedroom interior should be calming and not disturbing. Doing this is not as scary as it seems.
- Check out the photos of bedroom furniture and note the options that catch your eye and suit your style.
Are you drawn to an elegant, minimalist or modern look? Or do you crave cozy comfort?
- Think about the feel of the room as much as the theme.
- The bedroom should feel serene, but how it looks is up to you.
Collect some style examples and get a feel for what you like, so when you fall in love with a piece of furniture, you'll know if it suits the look you want.
Room size
Pay attention to the available space. What is the best place for a wardrobe? A good sized cabinet should be at least two meters long. How much space is left for a bed? Plan the layout of your bed, storage cabinets, walk-in closet, and desk if you need one.
What size bed is needed, or will one crib be enough? If you have a large bedroom, you can even create a small sitting area. Bunk beds take up less space and are a good furniture option for children's bedrooms.
The right size furniture can make your room look beautiful without being too cluttered.
Lighting and backlighting
Modern interiors love zoning, and this is evident in all details, including lighting. So you will need ceiling lamps, wall sconces with floor lamps, and designer night lights. Choose systems with regulators so that different zones can be turned on separately and the light intensity can be controlled.
Chandelier and lamps
A universal option for a modern bedroom is spotlights around the perimeter of the room or plasterboard structure. But in a small bedroom you can easily leave a chandelier with a modern metal or glass shade. An interesting solution is two small and long pendant lamps on both sides of the bed instead of sconces and night lights.
Decorative lighting
Decorative lighting in a modern interior gives it a light touch of futurism. LED strips are used in large rooms when decorating “floating” ceilings. And if you stretch it along the perimeter of the bed or podium, you will have the feeling that the bed is flying in weightlessness. Small built-in lamps in niches, on cabinet shelves and in modular shelving look no worse.

What items do you need
This may seem like a simple question, but it's worth a little thought. Do you need a complete bedroom set with a bed, dresser and nightstands, or do you just need a new bed or headboard?
If you're replacing old furniture, ask yourself if your current setup is right for you. Maybe an extra dresser will provide you with the storage solution you need to declutter while giving your room a more relaxed feel.
Consider different combinations of parts to find a design that suits your unique needs.
Is it possible to add other furniture to the room?
While creating a peaceful place to sleep is the most important function of a bedroom, you can do it in other ways. If you have ottoman storage at the foot of your bed, you'll find that this simple addition gives you a comfortable place to sit and get dressed.
Two accent chairs placed near the table create a cozy place to sit and read a book.
The bedroom is a place where you can relax even when you're not in bed. As you put effort into creating a bedroom that nourishes you, consider how else you can enjoy it.
Design tips
When choosing furniture for the bedroom you need to adhere to the following recommendations:
- Furniture in small bedrooms should be pastel shades;
- Lighting built into the furniture, vertical patterns and mirror inserts will visually increase the space;
- Place as few objects as possible opposite the front door, this will preserve space;
- Bright colors are appropriate to use in large, spacious rooms.
Invest in quality
Higher quality bedroom furniture is worth the money for many reasons. Not only will it pay for itself by looking beautiful for years to come, but well-made furniture will delight you with its assembly and materials.
The coating is smooth, and the joints are held tightly, without wobbling or squeaking. To truly create a cozy design, choose furniture for your bedroom that is durable and beautiful.
- Accessories such as rugs, throw pillows and blankets are also important additions to the room's design.
- Not only do they add style and visual interest, but premium accessories add a sense of fun.
- Soft textures are naturally relaxing and inviting, so something as simple as a soft rug or throw will add an extra dose of comfort to your bedroom.
Sleeping area
The choice of bed for sleeping is given a dominant place. A good rest will primarily depend on a comfortable bed. Of course, hardly anyone will refuse a huge and very spacious sleeping place, however, when choosing a bed, the first thing you need to do is measure the room.
The size of the bed should correspond to the size of the room, fit well in it, leaving enough free space for other interior items and free movement in the room.
If your bedroom is small, then you should pay attention to compact-sized furniture, but having a large number of free square meters at your disposal, you can choose a truly royal-sized bed.
In the store, be sure to make sure that the furniture is assembled firmly and securely. It is advisable, if possible, to lie down on the bed before purchasing, feel whether it suits you, and try it on to suit your height and body shape.
The mattress will be responsible for the comfort and safety of sleep, so before purchasing, be sure to study its filling, the composition of the woven and non-woven materials used, inspect and check its surface. Of course, it is better to give preference to orthopedic, elastic models.
Bedroom color combination
The colors you choose for your furniture and walls will create the atmosphere you want in your bedroom. Contemporary bedroom furniture in shades of blue, white and gray creates a cool and serene feeling and can give you a relaxing evening.
- On the other hand, red and yellow colors are bright and do not contribute to creating a peaceful atmosphere.
- Black and purple colors can be quite unpleasant and are best avoided in the bedroom.
- Choose colors that complement each other and create a feeling of harmony.
After all, your bedroom should be your personal sanctuary. Each person's ideal bedroom will suit their needs differently.
Decide what furniture will best suit you and your space, and everything else will fall into place. With some thought and planning, you can design the bedroom of your dreams with our simple tips.
Materials and textiles
When planning interiors in a modern style, convenience and practicality come first, and only then the specifics or composition of materials. Therefore, there are no strict canons regarding natural or artificial textures. Precious wood species and expensive natural textiles get along well with chrome, acrylic and mirrors.
Floor finishing
For your bedroom floor, don’t hesitate to choose wood-look laminate, without any complicated frills. Collections designed for rough untreated boards, gray oak or wenge are especially popular. Stone or porcelain tiles are too cold and require heated floors or convectors, while real parquet is more difficult to install and maintain.
Wall decoration
The simplest, most practical and affordable material for wall decoration is ordinary paint. And it is this that is most often used in modern interiors. A significant advantage is that you can tint and mix it yourself - which means you can create a subtle play of shades and transitions.
The wall behind the headboard is often made an accent wall - leave brickwork, concrete, or line it with wood panels. Photo wallpapers are not very common in modern interiors. If you want an accent color, use dark brown or dark gray paint.
Ceiling design
A faithful friend of all modern interiors are stretch ceilings, which perfectly reflect the concept of the style itself. The canvas can be either glossy or matte, but satin, textiles and photo printing are almost never used. In spacious bedrooms, plasterboard boxes are good for zoning and multi-level lighting.
Curtains
The simplest and most practical Roman blinds or any other roller blinds are best suited for a modern bedroom. They are attached to the entire window opening or directly to the sash, so they do not clutter up the space and do not collect dust. If you like to sleep in complete darkness, choose a blackout lining without hesitation.
The second successful option is classic thick floor-length curtains, but without unnecessary ruffles, flounces, tassels and lambrequins. Choose a fabric that drapes neatly in even folds, and for decor - simple tiebacks and loops. Modern tulle is the same: simple, laconic, without lace, embroidery or fringe.
