Keeping your bedroom well organised and well geared is essential - no matter how big, small, new or old it may be.
You spend one-third of your life in bed and at least another few hours resting in your bedroom. That makes up a good chunk of your life, so it’s worth spending that little bit extra to get it looking spick and span!
Maybe you’ve just moved into your new place, or you’re just looking to upgrade the state of your bedroom.
Whatever the case may be, you’re going to need bedroom furniture.
In this article, we will lay out all things essential regarding furniture for your bedroom, so you can figure out precisely what you need to buy and understand why some essentials are worth the money.
Let’s get going!
A Mirror
You don’t realise how valuable a full-length mirror is until you have one in your bedroom.
They are especially important to the fashion-conscious among us who want a complete view of their outfit for the day. It gives you a thorough insight into your appearance when compared to a classic mirror that only shows the top half of your body.
A mirror also opens up the area by making even the smallest of rooms look bigger and reflecting light around the site - an ideal solution for rooms with limited natural light sources.
Another significant advantage of having a large mirror is the lack of space it requires. You can attach a full-length mirror to your wardrobe, or mount it to any wall which has sufficient space in which to do so.
It’s a simple yet effective way to make your bedroom more functional and stylish.
An Armchair
Introducing an armchair into your bedroom is a great way to add a touch of finesse to the area. It provides another option for your guests to sit and can prove a functional second area for you to get some late-night work done.
The multi-purpose nature of an armchair makes it a bedroom essential - if you have the space to fit it in.
A Chest of Drawers
Consumer culture is alive and kicking! It is often the case that we have limited space in our wardrobes, so we need another area to put our bits and bobs.
Putting a chest of drawers in your bedroom is much more efficient than stuffing your belongings into the loft or the shed. It keeps your things easily accessible, as well as providing a surface on which you can put your memories on display.
Keep your photo frames, candles, and other keepsakes on top of your chest of drawers to really add that touch of personality to your bedroom.
A High-Quality Bed Base and Mattress
You’d be surprised how many people don’t invest sufficiently in a good-quality bed base and mattress.
We spend a considerable chunk of our lives on this piece of furniture - so spend the money! Your brain and body will thank you.
The first thing to consider is your mattress. This is what you’ll be spending your nights on, so it’s crucial to get the correct type.
You can get a foam, hybrid, latex or airbed mattress - which can be customized based on how firm you want the mattress to be. Quite honestly, there are a myriad of options to choose from - all depending on your sleeping position, your body type and body aches you may have.
In terms of bed bases, you can get several potential types: the traditional, flatbed base - or the new and improved adjustable bed base.
This type of bed base allows you to adjust the top of the bed to give yourself a comfortable angle to read and sleep. It is an excellent solution for those of us with body aches, as you can move the bed remotely to find the position that suits you best.
The FlexiSpot EB01 Adjustable Bed Base ticks the boxes as a bed base that provides comfort to those suffering from aches and provides a better night’s sleep to the remainder of the population.
The head can be adjusted by up to 60 degrees and fits in with your old standard-sized bed frame. It also provides a storage area underneath the bed, which can be very handy for those of us with smaller rooms.
A Bedside Table
A small but very handy piece of equipment: the bedside table is undoubtedly an essential piece of bedroom furniture.
On a bedside table, you can store your everyday items such as your phone, wallet and charger. It can also act as a surface to put a chic lamp, or maybe a piece of memorabilia to elevate your room to another level.
Bedside tables are usually relatively cheap compared to other items of bedroom furniture, so they are an excellent idea to add that high-quality look to your bedroom - all with a small budget.
Another win-win situation!
