Elegant or Casual: a style for your bedroom

Picking your bedroom furniture can be difficult. Not only is it expensive, but also there are so many things to consider when making such a big decision. You have probably done a lot of research before you have gotten to this point so you can eliminate different styles before feeling overwhelmed in person. It’s possible you have already received so many different opinions from others that you just want to go and make an executive decision on your own. No one will blame you. It’s hard when you want to involve family or friends to get multiple ideas, but it gets harder when you don’t necessarily love their never-ending thoughts and comments. Bedroom sets are such a big purchase, it’s important to take some time and make the right decision for you and your spouse.
In the beginning, you need to decide what style of headboard you will want. This will set the tone for the entire room. It’s important to look around your room and close your eyes. In that moment you should imagine what you have always wished for to be in that room. It could be class, elegance, casual, modern, or even cutesy. Only you can make that choice, but really try to feel the vibe of the room. An elegant room shouldn’t have a kid’s style of furniture. That just wouldn’t make any sense.
Nowadays there are so many new options of headboards as well. Many individuals have actually gone away from the traditional wood headboards. That is probably because the upholstered styles are becoming more popular. Why is that? The upholstered headboards have different features to add some character. Many are tufted with buttons or even have beads as an added decoration. The texture of the fabric can easily create a different style as well. It gives a little more personality to the room and allows your guests to see that.
If you have chosen a non-traditional headboard, chances are there aren’t matching tufted nightstands and dressers, but that’s okay. The styles today don’t always match. The focus can be matching in color, but not with texture. Having a variety of furniture styles, fabrics, and prints creates a completely different look than having everything match. It can truly bring out the elegance because the different pieces will have more of an antique and Victorian look.
In addition to having multiple choices to choose from with the headboard, the options for dressers are endless. The tiniest differences can really bring out variety in your room. It all depends on what look you would like to achieve, as well as functionality. If you have a large amount of clothing, which most women do, that’s definitely something to consider for the size of dresser you want to purchase. A triple dresser is definitely the way to go if you have a plethora of clothing. Your husband will appreciate having a little more space of his own.
In addition to the size of the dresser, the look of the legs is how to tell whether or not it is modern or antique. Square bottoms are typically a modern look, whereas rounded shaped bottoms resemble a Victorian style. The knobs go hand in hand with the legs. Eventually you could change the knobs on the dressers or nightstands, but if you are spending a lot of money, you might as well get what you want on the first try. Colored furniture is also in right now and adds a different charm when the top is stained for contrast. The room immediately has an added amount of depth and makes decorating much easier.
Choosing the right bedroom sets can be a process, but definitely fun. With all of the newer trends, anything you choose will be considered in style.
