We all need somewhere to escape to and for many of us, the bedroom is the perfect place. Whether you share a flat and need some private space of your own, or you run a busy household and need a place to relax at the end of the day, the bedroom furniture you choose can make all the difference.

Your Perfect Bedroom Furniture

You only need to watch a few TV make-over shows to know that the bedroom is often a chaotic place where ironing piles are kept, kids’ toys collect and books and papers pile up. Once the bedroom make-over is complete, people are delighted that they finally have a place to call their own, where they can shut the door and relax. You don’t need a TV crew in your home for 48 hours to create the perfect bedroom. Furniture, fabric and accessories can do that for you, with a little time and attention:

• Your bed – the focal point of any bedroom furniture set is the bed. Today’s market caters for a wide range of tastes, so you can choose a bed that fits in with your personal style. Whether that’s a contemporary leather headboard or an antique French bedstead is up to you. Just buying a new bed and mattress, along with some fresh bed linen, can make your bedroom seem like a new place.

• Wardrobes – the right bedroom furniture helps you to remove clutter from your room and keep it out of sight, and what better than a large, versatile wardrobe. Hang your clothes up, stack them on shelves, find space for your shoes and even store extra bed linen and towels. The wardrobe can look great from the outside and hold all your possessions away from prying eyes on the inside.

• Drawers and tables – most bedroom furniture sets come with the option of one or more chests of drawers and bedside or occasional tables. A good chest of drawers looks fabulous in any bedroom and as well as providing you with extra storage, will also be a great place to put flowers, ornaments and photographs, bringing a personal touch to your room.

• Chairs – if you have room, put a comfortable chair in your bedroom. Furniture isn’t all about practicality – it can also look beautiful, and a small, easy chair is a great place to escape to with a book or some music so that you can have some space away from the rest of the house. Sit it near a window so that you can get fresh air and a view outside.
