How To Choose the Perfect Bedroom Furniture Set

Deciding to upgrade furniture is one of those things that just makes a home feel more put together. It’s a part of adulting we often forget about. When you’re ready to trade in that random dresser-and-nightstand combo for something more your style, or when you recognize the wasted possible storage space under the bed and decide to use it properly, where do you begin? There’s much to consider as to how to choose the perfect bedroom furniture set. Whether setting up your first home, or simply giving your current spot a fresh look, here’s what you need to think about.

Space

Prior to shopping for bedroom furniture, you’ll need to determine how much space you have. Taking measurements and contemplating what furniture combinations would work best is essential. For example, someone with a lot of space may opt for an extravagant bed, such as a canopy bed. They may also decide to get a large dresser and matching nightstands.

A person with a more compact living space may choose a bed frame with drawers built in for storage to avoid taking up any additional space that could be use differently. Either way, you’ll want to note the length of walls, the height from floor to ceiling, the distance between opposite walls, and account for the maximum space you’re willing to fill. You should leave yourself a bit of room for adding belongings as well. Plan your bed size and drawer vacancy with a little room for life’s twists and turns. You don’t want to be kicking yourself later for going too small and not getting what you really need.

Style

Many people choose to decorate in themes. This is something that you’ll want to consider as you begin shopping for bedroom furniture. Recognizing that, in selecting furniture, you should allow yourself room to grow. This means that you should plan for changes in the future.

In addition to leaving yourself space to grow regarding furniture size, you’ll want to choose a style you know you’ll still like in years to come. As humans, we’re ever-changing, so it’s important to choose something that fits the décor and theme of your house as well as your personality while leaving the options for some small changes throughout the years. SuperNova Furniture has styles for all preferencing, ranging from French Provencal, traditional, rustic, or modern.

Bed

As touched on previously, there are a couple of things to consider when choosing your bed. You’ll need to decide on a size, mattress type, and bed frame.

Size

Bed sizes range from twin to California king and the measurements of each should be evaluated. The standard size for a twin is 38” x 75”, a full-sized bed is 53” x 75”, a queen-sized is 60” x 80”, a king-sized bed is 76” x 80”, and a California king is 72” x 84”.

Take time to think about how much space you need to sleep comfortably, as well as if there’s room for another person. Whether you sleep alone now or not, it’s a good idea to ensure you can still get a good night’s sleep if there was an overnight guest. Mattress size has varying lengths and widths, so accounting for your body’s measurements can allow you to rest more comfortably as well without your limbs dangling off the edge.

Mattress

Other than mattress size, there are a multitude of mattress types to shop through. Whether you want a standard innerspring mattress, a Posturepedic-innerspring hybrid, memory foam, or Tempur-Pedic brand, you have tons of options. The difference is in quality and preference. It’s highly recommended that you visit any SuperNova furniture store and try out the various mattress options.

You have to decide if you like the regular innerspring type mattress, want the top of the mattress to have memory foam on it, or if you want to go for top-notch comfort, durability, and versatility. With mattresses such as the Tempur-Pedic brand, you and a partner could have different levels of firmness, temperature, and elevation within one bed. There are no wrong choices—just what’s right for you, your preferences, and your budget.

Bed Frame

Bed frames are statement pieces. A sturdy and durable one can contribute to your room’s aesthetics and stabilize your mattress. At one time or another, we all had that bed that squeaked when we moved, and that’s a sign of a basic frame.

In general, we recommend picking out the bed frame first since it’s the centerpiece of the room and then matching the rest of the furniture with it. When picking out a frame for your new mattress, look at the variations of styles—from modern to traditional to rustic, you can pick whatever your heart desires. Quality frames have attached headboards and foot boards that give your bed character and tie it in with the rest of the room. The color, frame type, thickness, and design are all things you should also consider when choosing a bed frame.

The experts at Supernova Furniture can help you find the perfect frame to go with your mattress of choice. We can also advise you on picking a perfect dresser and nightstand combination.

Other Furniture

Once you’ve figured out the specified details of your bed and its frame, you can work your way through the potential make-up of the rest of the room. Matching the furniture to the frame is fairly simple and we are happy to walk you through a variety of scenarios to help determine furniture that matches the frame and best fits your vision.

For the other pieces of furniture that will fill your bedroom, you’ll want to look at options for dressers, nightstands, armoires, wardrobes, and mirrors. The choices range depending on personal style and overall theme. These items come in an assortment of materials such as solid wood, wood veneer, different finish options, textured panels, metal handles, and even drawers lined with felt. It’s important to account for what smaller decorations or appliances you’ll need when making decisions on furniture, such as tables for lamps, book storage, and media solutions.

Media

When thinking about the media devices that will be in your bedroom, you’ll want to plan for their placement. You won’t want to cover up walls that you may mount things on. Additionally, this may mean you need to add a desk or table. Consider all possibilities and needs before making your final decisions.
