Bed
What is a bedroom without a bed? A bed is the basic thing and the size and location of the bed determines the space and alignment of rest of the furniture. Any homeowner would want the bed to be positioned in certain directions depending on his or her sleeping habits and location of ventilation in the room.

With the number of beds available in the market today, make sure to invest in one that supports your sleeping position, preferred firmness, and budget. Since some people find themselves developing allergies after using the wrong mattress, you should also consider the materials that are used to make the mattress.
Once you’re able to find a mattress that suits these qualifications, start looking for the best mattress topper for side sleeper, back sleeper, or stomach sleeper, depending on your sleeping position. This accessory can protect your bed and make it cozier.
Rest and headboards
A bed needs a headboard to enable you to have a support to lean on while you are reading or working in your bed. What fun would be morning breakfasts in bed without a headboard to lean on? The headboard size is determined by the size of the bed. Some beds have prefixed headboards and such beds eliminate the needs of looking for a headboard separately.
Always consider the purpose when choosing rest and headboards. If you’re going to use these pieces to support your back when reading, it’s best if you choose one that’s made from the cushion. If you’re going to use your rest and headboards solely for aesthetics, consider having yours customized and follow a design that suits your bedroom’s theme.
Wardrobe
Wardrobes are another significant part of the bedroom that occupy almost 1/5th of the room’s space. If your bedroom is too big, you can generally opt for walk-in wardrobes. In case there is not enough room for that, the usual wardrobes with panelled doors are also a great choice. The theme of the whole room is dictated by the wardrobe styles. A sophisticated wardrobe will make choosing an outfit a joy rather than a chore.

When installing a wardrobe in your bedroom, always start by inspecting your available space first. Sure, wardrobes are important for every bedroom but keep in mind that this is not the only furniture you’ll have to use in the area. Installing wardrobes that are too big can make your bedroom feel cramped, preventing you from moving around, which will ultimately cause stress.
Bedside tables
Where would you house your alarm clock, water jug, and bedtime books, if not on the bedside table? Your bedroom furniture set is incomplete without bedside table that compliments the theme of the room. You can choose to buy twin bedside tables for either side of the bed or choose a single one, according to the space availability and your style taste. Bedside table is a unique furniture piece in itself. It alone can set a unique style statement.

If this is your first time to choose bedside tables, consider the items you’re planning to put in it. If you’re going to use your bedside tables to place your tissue paper holder, laptop, books, and lamps, you might need a bigger furniture. But, if you’re only going to utilize a bedside table as a storage space for your jewelry box and device, a smaller piece might suffice.
Chest of drawers
A firmly standing drawer chest is what you need to house your big and small personal care items and clothes that you wear regularly. It helps you store your belongings with minimum fuss. Available in several widths, heights and varying number of drawers, you get to pick the size of storage that you would need. A drawer chest is the most comfortable piece of furniture for every homeowner as it acts as a table top as well as a storage piece.
Maximise your chest of drawers by painting it in a color that either complements or contrasts with the color palettes in your bedroom. This way, you can use your drawers as your bedroom’s focal point.
