Six Things to Consider When Choosing Bedroom Furniture

Posted on November 5th, 2020 by Kittle's Furniture.

Your bedroom furniture plays an important role when it comes to creating a peaceful oasis. Before you shop your favorite Kittle’s Store , there are a few important things to keep in mind. From the size and material to functionality and style, it’s important to find the right furniture that will work for you. Read on for a list of six important things to consider when choosing your bedroom furniture for a comfortable, relaxing space you will love.

1. Make the Bed a Priority

Beds are at the heart of any bedroom, so try and make this purchase your first, then incorporate everything else around it. If you’re not sure which size bed to choose, measure the dimensions of your bedroom and use that as a guide. If you already have a bed that’s too small, it might be time to upgrade to something larger like a king or California king (if you have the room). Look for a bed featuring a finish or color you like that will easily match with everything else in this space. Beds come in a myriad of styles like sleigh, canopy, platform, and more. Kittle’s offers the widest variety of styles, so explore them all at your favorite store  to get a better idea of which options will work for you.

2. Storage

From winter clothing to extra throw blankets, it’s important to buy bedroom furniture that gives you the storage you need. Chests and dressers feature drawers that are perfect for items like undergarments, t-shirts, and other light articles of clothing. If your bedroom closet is small, look for a stylish armoire that gives you additional space to hang your clothing to keep it wrinkle-free. A storage bench or ottoman is another easy way to get more storage in the bedroom to keep it free of clutter.

3. Functionality

As you shop for your new bedroom furniture, think about the functionality of the room. Draw a few different layout ideas on paper or use the Room Planner on our website to help you come up with the best design for your needs. A pair of night stands next to the bed with a table lamp gives you a place for books, eyeglasses, and a glass of water. Having a lamp next to you also makes it much easier to read before bedtime since you won’t have to get up again to flip the overhead light switch off. Look at every product and consider how it will serve a useful function for you in the bedroom.

4. Design and Style

Every home is different, so it’s crucial to choose the right furniture that complements your style. Whether you adore a modern look or prefer something classic, explore the variety of styles to find the one that suits you best. A bed with a fabric upholstered headboard is a beautiful choice to create a calm, romantic vibe in the bedroom. Pieces featuring metal, glass, or vibrant colored finishes can elevate your bedroom and give it contemporary appeal. While your furniture doesn’t need to match exactly, it’s good to choose items within the same basic style family to make sure everything looks coordinated.

5. Accessories and Décor

If you’re redesigning the entire bedroom, consider a few new accessories, too. A large mirror will add brightness and reflection while giving you a place to prep and check out your outfit before you head out for the day. Decorative items like vases, wall art, and area rugs will pull everything together. It’s best to choose your furniture first, then choose your accents to work around it. Smaller pieces of furniture like benches can also be a great way to add more functionality and tie the room together in a cohesive way.

6. Quality

Most importantly, make sure that your new furniture for the bedroom is constructed using high-quality material. Frames should be made of solid hardwood, and drawers on chests and dressers should glide smoothly when you open and close them. When you shop for new furniture, visit our showroom to see and touch everything in person. This is the best way to determine the level of quality of the furniture you’re interested in. Remember that furniture is an investment, so it’s vital that you select items that will serve your needs for years to come.
