The first thing to think about is the bed. While one may need to actually test out new mattress to find that perfect fit, like a good picture, every comfortable mattress deserves a unique, stylish bed frame to accent the other features of the bedroom. Perhaps your grandmother gave you a bedside cabinet and you need a perfect bed to compliment this family heirloom. Perhaps you are tired of sleeping on a divan bed you have had for 10 years & are ready to add some class to your bedroom with a bit of decent furniture.

There are many factors in considering a new bed for your bedroom. There may be style considerations, size considerations, and price to consider while shopping for a bed. Everyone wants the most elegance for their money, but functional considerations are important! Perhaps you have a pile of linen stuffed in your wardrobe with nowhere to go. A storage bed might be the perfect solution. A storage bed combines a mattress frame with a chest of drawers or a lift up mattress base and is the perfect solution for keeping your bedroom linen and anything else you need to store in your bedroom perfectly organized.
While choosing new bedroom furniture, you may also want to consider a king size bed.

Be sure to measure your bedroom first and make sure you have enough space between your new king size bed and the walls and furniture of your bedroom. A good 36 inches is required for walking space, and make sure your bed fits in proportion to the walls of your bedroom. King size beds are usually 160cm wide and 210cm long at least, depending on the bed, & super king beds are even bigger at 190cm wide x 200cm long. And don't forget, good Feng Shui practices would have you put your headboard against a wall, allowing to wake up and get out of either side of the bed.

Then there are the bedside cabinets. Will you want one on each side of the bed? Many people just buy one, but that isn't terribly practical if there are two of you in the bed, & you each want somewhere to put your books, alarm clocks etc. Sometimes it's better to have a smaller bed & allow enough room for the furniture rather than fill the whole room with a bed & have nowhere to put anything.

Finally don't forget your chest of drawers. Ideally it should match either your bed, or your bedside cabinets, or maybe even both. Drawers need to be roomy, yet sturdy enough to hold plenty of clothing. Of all of the furniture items in a bedroom these get the hardest time, after all, we all have these stuffed to the brim, especially in winter when storing knitwear, jeans, heavy socks etc.
If choosing modern style bedroom furniture you will need to be aware that many of the new chests of drawers are quite long & low, & may not have enough room for everything.

They look great in large Italian rooms, but in our small UK bedrooms might not quite be large enough. In this instance it might be a good idea to buy two tall chests & put the side by side. Look at the room you think you need & then double it to find the chest of drawers you need.

Remember, when choosing new bedroom furniture having enough room to store all of your clothing is as important a consideration as style, so happy shopping!
