6 Things to Look for When you Buy Bedroom Furniture

When it’s time to buy new bedroom furniture, you will want to pay attention to some important points before you make your selections. There is a seemingly endless array of beautiful bedroom furniture options on the market, from sleek contemporary designs to updated classics.

Before you buy, it makes sense to thumb through home décor magazines and visit furniture stores to see the latest trends. You can find beautiful discount bedroom furniture in Middletown and the Monmouth Mall in Eatontown, New Jersey near the main furniture store in Howell.

Here are some things to think about when you shop for bedroom furniture.

1.     Measure the Room

Before you purchase new furniture for your bedroom, the first step is to measure your space so you know the bedroom furniture your room can comfortably fit. Make sure to take note of windows and doorways, and when you lay out the plan on graph paper be sure to leave enough room for easy movement.

2.     Decide on the Bed Size

Keeping the dimensions of the room in mind, decide on the size of your bed. Beds come in sizes ranging from narrow twins to large California kings. A full size bed is 54” x 75”, a queen is 60” x 80” and a king bed is 76” x 80”.

3.     Think about Storage

While you probably have at least one closet in your bedroom, you may find that you need additional storage space for clothing and linens. A typical bedroom set comes with a nightstand and a dresser, and many furniture brands carry occasional pieces that match the set. Look for tall chests, armoires, cabinets and vanities to hold your belongings. You can also find bedroom sets featuring a storage bed with a drawer beneath the mattress.

4.     Choose a Style

Like furniture for other rooms in the house, bedroom furniture comes in a wide range of styles. If you love the quality look of traditional furniture, look for updated classics with sleigh beds and poster beds. Transitional bedroom furniture blends with any style in your home, and sleek contemporary designs are increasingly popular. Other bedroom styles include casual Farmhouse, breezy coastal and Hollywood glam.

5.     Consider the Quality

When you invest in bedroom furniture you will want to buy a bedroom set that is built to stand the test of time. Look for brands with durable sets made of solid wood with top quality veneers. Pay attention to drawer glides and details like English and French dovetail drawer construction.

6.     Look for Special Features

Some manufacturers include special features in their bedroom furniture that add luxury and convenience. Find cedar drawers that protect clothing and linens, hidden jewelry drawers and built-in lighting. Some beds even come with USB ports to charge your cell phone and tablet.
