Buying a new bedroom furniture set can be a chore. Who has the time these days to go comparison shopping to big box furniture stores, wholesale stores, discount furniture stores, and designer furniture stores in search of the perfect bedroom set?
Here are the basics you should know before you buy.
Cost: The sky is the limit when it comes to bedroom furniture sets, especially if you start looking at designer furniture, expensive wood materials, leathers, and etc. For those with budgets, a basic set including a frame, headboard, and 1-2 nightstands can be purchased for around 0. A bedroom set can also save you time and money because you will spend less when buying a set and you won't have to shop around for individual pieces to match and complete your room.
Styles: The style you choose for your set will set the tone for your bedroom. Do you want something practical, fun, light like a storage bedroom set? Are you looking for something traditional like a four-poster bed set? Maybe a bed set with an upholstered headboard? Something modern that is platform-style which is low to the ground? Knowing what style you prefer will help you make a decision more quickly.
Size: Most bedroom furniture sets come in full-sized, queen-sized, or king-sized. As the central focal point of a bedroom, deciding on a size is not only based on what size you prefer, but also the size of your room and how much of a statement you want to make. Do you need space for bookshelves? A work desk? A reclining chair for reading?
Typical bedroom set pieces: Many bedroom sets begin with a bed frame and headboard. Bedroom sets can go up to 6 additional pieces that could include: night or bedside tables, dressers, chests drawers, mirrors, bookcases, and storage benches. Buying bedroom furniture set is often more aesthetically appealing because additional pieces will match your bed frame.
Designer or non-designer? Some of the most popular household brands today include South Shore, Modus Nevis, Prepac, Young American, and American Drew. When it comes to designer bedroom furniture sets, most of your guests won't notice whether something is designer or not - but they will notice when your bedroom set is good quality. Generally speaking, better quality sets will cost you more but will also last you longer.
Kids' bedroom sets: Last but not least, if you're looking for a bedroom set for kids, it's better to go simpler and choose something more affordable because the furniture will wear quickly. Choose additional pieces that are practical, that will actually be used, and a style that will stand the test of time - that means no to the race car bed.
Good luck!
