Finding Form and Function in Bedroom Furniture
Have you ever tried to picture your bedroom completely empty, a cold, austere space with no personality or welcoming cosiness, devoid of furniture or warmth? Although it may have been empty and unfurnished when you viewed the property, prior to buying or renting the home, it’s unlikely that you would have thought it unwelcoming, without character, because your thoughts would in all likelihood, be elsewhere.
Aesthetic Appeal and Function
Your dominant and enduring mental image would probably be focussed on positioning your current or new bedroom furniture in this space. These are the very items that imbue the room with your own personal stamp of taste, style, and aesthetic appeal, as well as the room’s unique ambience; all this in addition to the important functional aspect of bedroom furniture.
All furniture pieces are designed to perform a specific function, provide comfort, and enhance one’s quality of home life, so items intended for use in the bedroom are synonymous with the requirements of this particular space.
Typical Bedroom Furniture
A bed always occupies pride of place in the bedroom. Preferences and requirements differ from person to person. Some prefer a firm bed and mattress, while others want a gentle, softer support to allow them to sleep in luxurious comfort. Lying on various beds in the Ericssons Mattress & Pine (or other) furniture showroom is the best way to check and test the suitability and individual comfort level of beds and mattresses.
Unusual Sizes
Extra-depth mattresses have become popular, as have extra length beds that accommodate tall persons from top to toe, whereas previously, some people were put off these options, when available, because they struggled to find a suitable selection of bedding that catered for unusually-sized beds. Fortunately, increasing customer demand has been instrumental in eliminating this lack of options.
Bedside Pedestals
Bedside pedestals are attractive, practical, and highly functional bedroom furniture additions that perfect the bedroom furniture picture. Pedestals provide extra storage space for bedtime reading matter, a bottle or glass of water to quench a midnight thirst, the occupants’ mobile or fixed-line phones, and bedside or reading lamps, conveniently close to switch on and off from the comfort of one’s bed.
Dressing Table
Although originally associated with ladies, the dressing table serves modern metro men too, gents who care for good grooming and their appearance as much as do their female counterparts. The dressing table, its mirror and stool enable the seated user to style their hair, apply and remove make-up and perform beauty routines conveniently, in comfort.
Wardrobes
The demand for free-standing wardrobes has decreased. Such units are generally acquired to hang and store clothing, footwear, and accessories in older dwellings, which don’t feature built-in cupboards, or when bedrooms and their furniture pieces are themed.
Sundry Pieces
In large homes with particularly spacious bedrooms, lounge furniture pieces like easy chairs, a coffee table or set of occasional tables may be positioned near a window, ideal for those who like to relax, read a book or newspaper while enjoying a cup of tea or coffee in the intimate comfort of the bedroom.
Whatever your requirements, be sure to visit an Ericssons showroom before furnishing your personal, private space, your bedroom. You’ll be delighted with our competitive prices, superior quality and service excellence that are vital features of our Ericssons furniture operation.
