What To Consider When Purchasing Bedroom Furniture

Nov 10, 2020

The bedroom is a special place in our homes. It gives us an opportunity to express and display our own personal style while also creating an intimate retreat from the outside world. When it comes to searching for a certain style, designer furniture piece or size such as a super king bed size in Australia, there are many factors to consider.

As purchasing luxurious designer furniture is a significant investment, space, size and style are all factors that must be considered.

Consider your style

Style is an essential element when it comes to designer bedroom furniture. For example, you may want your bedroom furniture to have a traditional look, consisting of rich timber finishings with symmetrical details to match a clean and classic colour scheme. The benefit of a traditional style is that the furniture will remain timelessly charming for many years to come.

Or maybe sleek and contemporary furniture is more your style, making a bold statement with captivating colour choices and modern finishings? Whichever styling option you decide to go with, planning ahead will ensure that you are purchasing designer bedroom furniture that perfectly captures your personality.

Consider the size

When searching for designer beds, it’s crucial to select the right size. Even though it will be the focal point of the room, the bed shouldn’t dominate the available space. It is ideal to have at least a 75cm clearance on the front and sides of the bed frame.

Whether you are looking for a single, double, queen, king or super king bed size in Australia, an ideal bed size should measure about 10 – 15cm longer than the tallest person that is using the bed. If you are sharing the bed, you should both be able to comfortably lie down side by side without feeling cramped.

Consider the available space

It is also very important to measure the available space of your bedroom as this is crucial when purchasing multiple bedroom furniture pieces. You will want to create a harmonious environment without having a ‘stuffy’ feel.

Factors such as the dimensions of the furniture in relation to the size of doorways are also important to consider. You need to make sure that there are no issues fitting in furniture around tight corners and door frames such as beds, dressers and bedside tables once leaving the showroom.

Consider what other furniture pieces you may need

A new bed may be your main focus, but what about other bedroom furniture pieces such as cabinets, bedside tables, tallboys, dressers and ottomans? These additional furnishings are an excellent opportunity to make a statement and express your personal style.

Think about the existing room décor and what type of style you are wishing to achieve. Does your bedroom have a spacious or walk-in wardrobe? If not, then purchasing a tallboy or a dresser will provide additional storage space while also tying the style of the room together.
