The Bed
Two of the important questions are: what type of bed do you like and where do you want to place the bed?
There are many fabulous beds available, ranging from well-sprung bases and thickly padded mattresses to beds with electronic controls that fit your body in every way, ensuring a good night’s sleep.
This is the most vital purchase you will make for your dream bedroom. It can also be the most expensive, depending on the level of comfort you desire, second only to the cost of storage. If the bed will be the focus of the room, such as in the case of a bed with an antique frame or an ancient, Italianate carved bed head, then it is probably acceptable to spend more on this item.
Some modern bed heads feature built-in side tables and lighting fixtures, so you will need to plan space for these, too. They are essential for individual table lamps and for storing personal items such as books and even your medication. If you like to light candles before retiring to bed, then a bedside table is more than essential.
Placing a bed ought to be a simple task, but sometimes the situation forces an unsatisfactory conclusion. A huge bed can dominate the room; a small bed can look out of place in a large room. Therefore, it is important to select a bed to fit the room’s proportions. When you need more storage you could consider a bed with a base fitted with pull-out drawers (ideal for young children or teenagers). The final result will come through planning and thoughtful purchasing.
