Bedrooms: Your Guide To Buying The Best Discounted Furniture


You spend so much time sleeping and relaxing in your bedroom you want it to look the best it can. When you’re choosing bedroom furniture, a little thought before you buy helps create the perfect look. Whatever your style and budget, and whoever the bedroom is for – kids, a couple, teenagers – you can pick up discounted furniture to make the most of your bedroom without spending a fortune.

Think about purpose. All bedrooms are different, depending on the person or people sleeping in the bed. Kids need plenty of storage space for toys, a television, clothes, shoes and books. A children’s bedroom may have multi-purpose furniture such as a bed with built-in desk or a TV cabinet with drawers and hangers. A bedroom for teenagers needs a desk and space for clothes while a bedroom for you and your partner may include a large wardrobe, a stylish chest of drawers or a dressing table with a mirror. Pick up discounted furniture that includes space for storing winter clothes, and a large bed that gives you plenty of space to relax.

Consider style. Your kids’ style is a lot different to your own. Children’s bedrooms call for bold and bright furniture in the colour scheme they like the best – vibrant pinks, bold blues or jungle greens. Depending on your taste, your bedroom furniture may be classic in style, antique or contemporary. Modern furniture keeps you up-to-date and fashionable while antique furniture is more suited to older homes. Coordinated furniture makes your room look tidy and organized while a mix of eclectic pieces creates an individual and bohemian look. The material and the finish of your bedroom furniture also helps create the mood. Choose solid wood for a classic, natural and individual look. Real wood finish is less expensive than solid wood as it is made from layers of real wood, but it can create a similar effect. Modern wood-effect finishes look more modern and uniform.

Measure up. Make sure you have the correct measurements of your bedroom, including the size of doorways. Take note of the measurements of the furniture you want to buy. You could make a scale drawing of your bedroom and place the new furniture, on pieces of paper, where you want them to check everything will go where you want it to. And don’t forget how you will get the furniture into your bedroom – large, ready-made pieces are difficult to manoeuvre up narrow, winding stairs. Decide if you want to create a fully fitted bedroom, with furniture that is made-to-measure to the exact space you have, or if you’ll work with individual pieces. Don’t forget small touches like mirrors and mood lighting and you’re ready to move in.
