Complete Bedroom Furniture Buying Guide for Homeowners and DIY Enthusiasts

1. Considering the Style and Design

As a homeowner, one of the critical decisions you'll need to make when purchasing bedroom furniture is the style you desire. It's essential to take into account the décor and architectural style of your home, ensuring that the furniture complements and enhances your environment. 

Traditional furniture, characterized by intricate details and dark wood tones, can create a warm and elaborate atmosphere. Alternatively, contemporary furniture, marked by its clean lines and light colours, can establish a minimalistic and modern aesthetic. 

Fitted wardrobes, for instance, offer a seamless look ideal for creating a streamlined bedroom. These can be found in wide-ranging widths, allowing you to choose the perfect size for your room. Look for features that make them unique, such as mirrored doors or elaborate carvings, to add character to your space. 

Besides, consider the functionality of kneehole units and drawer units. Kneehole units offer practical storage and can double as a desk, while drawer units enable easy organisation of smaller items. 

• Remember: Your goal should be to create a cohesive design that has balance and is visually pleasing.
  
  
• Consider: How the furniture will enhance the room's functionality. Are you looking for storage solutions? Workspaces? Always ensure your choices align with your needs.
  
  
• Don't forget: You can always mix and match styles for a personalised touch.
  
  

Whether you're replacing your existing bedroom furniture or you're furnishing a new home, careful consideration of the style and design of your bedroom furniture will ensure you create a space that is functional, aesthetically pleasing, and truly feels like home.

Exploring Different Finishes for Bedroom Furniture

To enhance the aesthetic appeal and durability of your bedroom furniture, we offer a range of exquisite finishes.

Among these, melamine faced chipboard (MFC), a popular and cost-effective choice, provides a robust, scratch-resistant surface perfect for wardrobes and cabinets. This will ensure longevity and maintenance simplicity, ideal for a high-use area such as a bedroom. 

• If you desire a more personalised touch, consider our painted doors. Available in a plethora of colour options, these allow for an instant room transformation aligning with your specific colour preferences and interior decor. The rich shades and silky smooth finishes provide a sophisticated look and feel for your bedroom furniture.
  
  
• Our vinyl wrapped doors are another fantastic option. Expertly crafted and not to be mistaken with inferior foil wrapped doors, which are notorious for delaminating, these doors provide an excellent balance between design and durability. The manufacturing process tightly seals the vinyl to the door, ensuring it remains affixed for years to come, resists moisture, and vastly reduces the chance of peeling or cracking.
  
  
• For texture enthusiasts, we also offer textured vinyl doors. These lend a unique, tactile element to your furniture, typically simulating the feel of natural wood grain. It truly is the alliance of timeless appeal and modern durability.
  
  

Remember, both matt and gloss finishes are available across most ranges, each carrying their distinct characteristics. While matt finishes can infuse a sense of calmness and sophistication, gloss finishes can grant your room a vibrant, contemporary feel.

Kneehole Units: Ideal for those who desire a dedicated dressing area or perhaps a compact workspace within their bedroom. Kneehole units offer the liberty to select the number of drawers or shelves on either side of the central space, where you can fit a chair. 

In conclusion, bedroom furniture customisation goes a long way by adding a personal touch and ensuring that the design maximises functionality within your unique space. By considering these options, you will be able to choose furniture that is not only in alignment with your taste but also complements your lifestyle seamlessly.

Tips for Measuring Your Bedroom for the Right Furniture Fit

Understanding the layout and space of your room is paramount in selecting the right bedroom furniture. Every piece you choose, from fitted cabinets to kneehole units, should co-exist harmoniously, enhancing both aesthetics and functionality.

To ensure you get the perfect fit, here are some expertly curated tips on accurately measuring your bedroom: 

1. Prepare a Floor Plan: Start by sketching a simple floor plan of your room, ensuring to mark out doors, windows, and any fixed architectural features such as fireplaces or fitted shelves.
   
   
2. Measure the Room: Using a reliable tape measure, record the length and width of your room, along with the height (from floor to ceiling). Measuring the dimensions of each wall is also useful, particularly when considering fitted wardrobes or cabinets.
   
   
3. Note Down Obstructive Elements: Make note of anything that may influence furniture placement, such as radiators, electrical outlets, or beams.
   
   
4. Account for Walking Space: It's essential to maintain a balance between furniture and free space. Aim for at least 24 inches of walking space around the bed and other key pieces of furniture.
   
   
5. Consider Door and Drawer Openings: When planning for fitted wardrobes or drawer units, ensure that there's enough space for door and drawer openings. Avoid placing these within a tight corner or right against another piece of furniture.

By taking the time to carry out these measurements, you'll be well-equipped to make informed choices about the bedroom furniture that best suits your space.

Understanding Better Furniture Dimensions 

Traditionally, bedroom furniture comes in a set of standard dimensions. However, our products offer various widths and options that allow for a personalised fit. It's crucial to appreciate the typical dimensions to ensure an appropriate match with your room's capacity. For example: 

Accurately measuring your bedroom and understanding furniture dimensions empowers you to create a personalised, harmonious living space. It paves the way for furniture that not only looks good, but also works in practicality - making your bedroom a true sanctuary.
