We all know the statistics of how much of our lives we spend asleep, but the curious fact can be taken one step further. If we dress and prepare for our day — as well as end our day there — what percentage of our lives is spent in the bedroom? You would have to guess somewhere close to 40% overall, so it’s obvious that setting up a bedroom right is an essential part of your interior design. Whether big or small, hard wood-floored or carpeted, the bedroom must be handled with care. Here are the five big things to do in order to set up a perfect bedroom.
1. Get the bed right. Obviously, without the proper bed any planning you make in the bedroom will be nullified. Make sure it is up-to-date and allows you to sleep like royalty. Not only will your energy be affected by a poor sleep cycle: your entire demeanor can be damaged if you’re not sleeping soundly. Spend the majority of your budget on the mattress, with a balance between firmness and softness. The box spring, or foundation, is the place where the impact will be absorbed. Don’t undermine a great bed without the right foundation. As for placement, give access to sunlight but don’t drown yourself in it, unless you can block it out with blinds or curtains.
2. Identify and maximize storage space. If you have been blessed with many large closets, the majority of your bedroom furniture can serve a decorative purpose. However, if you need to store clothing, you’ll have to find the right pieces for space and design. A chest of draws with a mirror above it can serve as an ideal place for getting ready. An armoire will afford the luxury of hanging clothes where space in the closet ran out. Coordinating your pieces is essential.
3. Make sure your desk is usable. There is nothing like getting work done on a desk in the privacy of your own bedroom. Whether talking on the phone, sending an email, or just thinking things through, the desk is one of the most intimate places when it comes to self-reflection. If your windows overlook a busy street, move the desk back to keep that solid frame of mind.
4. Keep a chair and table space. No matter how small your bedroom may be the presence of a table and chair makes a huge difference. These pieces might have to be small, but it’s not something to overlook. Within the bedroom, there is going to be a desk and a bed to do your reading and thinking. They represent two extremes, one too rigid in some situations, the other too relaxed. With a cozy chair and side table, you will make your bedroom the ultimate comfort zone.
5. Get the lighting right. Don’t forget about lighting. It’s a room in which a dimmer switch is a must. Also, make sure turning off the lights at the end of the night is not a chore. You don’t have to clap your hands; just put the switch within reach of your bed.

Platform beds are fast becoming one of the most popular trends in interior design. Most of these sleek, understated beds employ a decidedly contemporary style that can add a modern flare to bedrooms with outdated bedroom furniture. If none of that grabs you, how about this—platform beds can save you some serious money. The reason for this is with a platform bed, there is no need for a box spring or foundation.
For those still in the dark about what is a platform bed exactly, here is a brief description: A platform bed consists of a raised, flat, horizontal surface, meant to support a mattress without a box spring. In most platform beds, multiple slats of wood or metal running the width of the bed provide the support. Oftentimes, a thin, flat surface such as masonite or plywood sits on the slats and the mattress, in turn, rests on this surface.
Many platform beds are very low profile, giving them a European or perhaps a Japanese aesthetic. This is one of the many perks of owning a platform bed, setting yourself and your bedroom décor apart from the millions of Americans with boring, old fashioned standard beds. Use your bedroom space to create a peaceful sanctuary where you can unwind with a book after a long day at work or sneak away for a much needed nap on a hectic weekend.
Box springs and foundations can cost upwards of $500. Save yourself this needless expense and join the millions of forward-thinking Americans who have chosen to modernize their bedrooms with a beautiful new platform bed.

You may be redesigning a home or looking for a way to replace bedroom furniture that may be broken or worn out. There are a few things that you should keep in mind that will make it easier to find the bedroom furniture you have always wanted.
Since bedroom furniture can be pricey it is a good idea to make sure that the manufacturer is a reputable one. A manufacturer like Ashley Furniture has been making furniture for over 30 years and has established a reputation for high-quality products, stunning design and the use of cutting edge materials.

A company such as the Ashley furniture has a website which will show you pictures of the different products they make. If you see a product you like, write down the model name or number. Then you can look for a list of retailers which should give you places to shop.
You may not think that an online auction site is a good place to buy big ticket items like bedroom furniture. This may or may not be the case. If there is a particular piece you are looking for to complete a set, you may find what you are looking for. But be careful. Although the cost may be lower, you cannot make sure that a piece is not damaged. High shipping costs may also make the price higher in the end than it would have been in a store.
Many manufacturers such as Ashley furniture do not sell directly to customers but if you shop around you can often find the bedroom furniture you have seen and loved online. You may also be able to find some bargains. There are discount stores which sell name brand items at a large discount. This way you might be able to purchase bedroom furniture that you love at prices you can afford. Many manufacturers like Ashley Furniture have found a way to offer top quality bedroom furniture at a reasonable price.
You want to make sure that your bedroom furniture suits your personal style. You should look for pieces that are classic, timeless and are unlikely to go out of style in a short period of time. A manufacturer like Ashley Furniture will usually offer a range of products with classic lines and timeless styling.
If you are willing to do a bit of research and take some time you can find bedroom furniture which will suit your needs and not break your budget.
