How to choose?
Types of bedroom sets differ not only in style and equipment, but also in color, material, size and shape. Bedroom furniture takes up a lot of space, so its color is extremely important. There are three ways to go here:
- Light coloured... The most versatile bedroom set is white, beige and gray. It is suitable for rooms of all sizes, does not look bulky, does not require complex maintenance. In addition, it takes into account the functional purpose of the room (sleep and rest) and promotes relaxation.
- Dark... It is worth making a reservation right away - such furniture is suitable only for spacious bedrooms over 20-30 sq.m. And even in large rooms, it is necessary to balance active black, brown or gray with light finishes - otherwise the situation will turn out to be too gloomy.
- Color... Avoid bright colors in bedroom furniture, it is optimal to choose any pastel. The best is considered blue or turquoise; psychologists, it is these colors that contribute to relaxation. Muted yellows and greens can also relieve stress and improve sleep.
Moving on to the choice of materials:
- Chipboard... Most bedroom sets are made from chipboards. Such headsets are distinguished by a wide selection of textures and colors, as well as an affordable price. However, when purchasing any items, ask the seller for certificates - after all, low-quality materials often emit toxic substances, which is unacceptable in living spaces.
- Natural wood... Eco-friendly, high quality and durable. There are completely different shapes, but the main disadvantage of the array is the price. A bed and a couple of bedside tables will cost a lot, and if you add a chest of drawers, a wardrobe and a table to this, the check will increase several times.
Advice: To be sure of the quality of the goods before buying, viewing the documents for the goods is not enough. Be sure to carry out a visual inspection: check how the drawers and doors open and close, inspect the connecting parts, inspect the surface for trifles in the form of clues, smudges, irregularities.
When choosing a bedroom set, pay attention to its dimensions. The main rule is that the headset should be proportional to the room. That is, the more spacious the apartment, the larger the objects in it can be. For example, for 10-12 meters, instead of a 2 * 2 bed, you will have to get by with a width of 140-160 cm. At the same time, such a sleeping place will simply get lost in an area of 30 squares. The same applies to all other cabinet and upholstered furniture.
But the shape of the bedroom furniture is no longer so fundamental. Sharp corners and clear lines or curved fronts and curved legs - depending on your taste. Consider only that the more minimalistic the design, the longer the bedroom set will not go out of fashion.
What's in the headset?
There is no standard set of a bedroom set - everything is selected based on the consumer's request. Most often, the set includes 3-4 modules, including:
- bed;
- bedside tables;
- wardrobe;
- chest of drawers;
- toilet table;
- desk;
- bench or pouf;
- armchair, lounger or chair.
The main element of any bedroom, of course, bed... It is to her that all other furniture is usually selected. In small bedrooms, it is sometimes replaced by a catwalk to save space, and in small bedrooms, beds with drawers are also convenient for storing bedding or clothes. Also, when choosing, keep in mind that models with legs will look more airy than one-piece deaf structures.
Modern bedside tables are available in a huge number of designs - standard with a drawer and door or light weightless consoles, on casters or brackets, floor or hanging. Base your choice not only on appearance, but also on size - in narrow rooms, for example, after installing a bed, there is a very limited space for side tables.
Bedside tables do not have to be symmetrical and the same - replace one of them with a chest of drawers or remove them altogether to make the interior more modern.
Wardrobes there are both freestanding and built-in - facades unite them with the rest of the headset. The size and shape (straight or corner cabinet) is selected based on the dimensions of the room and the required storage space.
In addition to or instead of the cabinet, purchase chest of drawers... Unlike the previous version, its functions do not end with storage inside - a TV is often placed on the tabletop or used as a make-up area.
Dressing table - the dream of any woman, so that he does not get out of the ensemble and looks harmonious, buy in the same style as the bedroom set. A mirror must be hung or installed on top, this must not be forgotten when planning lighting. An additional light source is needed here.
If you often have to work from home - equip a cozy office right in the bedroom. This will require desk and a comfortable chair.
Many bedroom sets include items upholstered furniture:
- it is convenient to fold the bedspread on the bench at the foot of the bed before going to bed;
- chairs or poufs are used next to tables;
- a cozy armchair or couch will replace the sitting or reading area.

The next item is cupboard... The main requirement for its installation is close to the wall so that it takes up less space. One of the most convenient places is to the side of the entrance (or two cabinets on the sides of the door if it is in the center of the wall). So the cabinet will remain invisible and will not visually eat up the space. Another acceptable scheme is two closets on the sides of the bed, between them you can hang shelves or a wall-mounted storage unit.
Location selection chest of drawers is not limited by anything, most often it is placed in front of the bed, hanging a TV over it. You can also replace one or both bedside tables with a chest of drawers.
Work or dressing table it is logical to install at the window - and for a right-handed person the window should remain on the left, and for a left-handed person - on the right. Then you will not block your light and additional lighting during the daytime will not be needed.
