We list the essential bedroom furniture to stock-up
on when you remodel your home.
Be it the cosiest
couch in the living room or the most relaxing rocking chair in the corner of
your study, nothing comes close to the comfort one experiences in the bedroom. It’s
not just the bed but the overall feel of your bedroom.
Sleeping, even though
the most dominant, is just one of the things you do in your bedroom. Reading a
book, private phone calls with friends or that special someone, or even singing
along to your favourite song, there is something about your bedroom that
makes you feel relaxed, just like a warm hug.
However, a
cluttered bedroom can make one feel suffocated or an overly spacious one
can exhibit a feeling of emptiness. It should have that perfect balance of
aesthetics and comfort.
Here are 5
must-have furniture items to avoid clutter or an uncomfortably spacious bedroom.[i]
1 A bed
Apart from the snug
mattress for our beauty sleep, the type of bed is elementary. Make sure you
pick a bed that fits your room, with respect to size and looks. A king size bed
is great if you like space while seeping but you may have to dial down on other
items if you have a small room. So take your pick! You could choose one with
some storage space underneath to avoid a mess.
Also, placement
makes a difference. Since a bed is the biggest furniture in the room, it is
advisable to place it against a wall, so you don’t bump into it while moving
around, or leave an unnecessary empty gap that does absolutely nothing.
2 A nightstand or a bedside cabinet
It serves as a
furniture to place your night lamp, a jug of water and glass, your book, mobile
phone, Bluetooth speakers etc.[ii]
Since it’s usually small and placed next to your bed, a nightstand or a bedside
cabinet makes life a bit simpler. Consider this a part of your bed and should
blend-in with it.
Also, place your
cabinet in a spot with a charging plug nearby for your lamp and electronic
devices.
3 A wardrobe
A wardrobe is a
large piece of furniture[iii].
Align it with the largest wall in the bedroom so that your room will look
spacious. Think about symmetry as well. Ensure that your wardrobe doors are not
obstructed by your bedroom door or any other furniture. This could cause bumps
and spoil the aesthetics.
4 A dressing table
A dressing table is
a multipurpose cabinet[iv].
Its top holds a mirror, perfume bottles, make-up, and other items needed to
apply finishing touches to your wardrobe. Even though you’ve got a wardrobe for
your clothing, the drawers of a dressing table can accommodate small to medium-sized
clothing. Things that usually tend to get misplaced in a big wardrobe.
There are those
that also have space for a small seat. Place it close to a lamp for when
natural light from the window is not sufficient.
5 A chair near the window
A place of quiet
contemplation and relaxation. Be it relishing a cup of tea or indulging in your
favourite book, a chair near the window, is a great spot to relax.[1]
An elegant chair in
the room acts as an ornament, enhancing the look of your room. When placed near
the window keeps you closer to natural light and fresh air. You could even opt
for a rocking chair if you are looking for a classic look.
