How to Choose the Right Bedroom Furniture
The bedroom is one of the main sanctuary areas of the home (especially if you have a house full of kids like we do!), and it’s important to make it feel like one. If your bedroom feels out of date, out of storage, or just plain mismatched - it might be time for a refresh! Choosing the right bedroom furniture for your space can make all the difference, and it’s another opportunity to incorporate your personal style into your home.
Deciding which furniture you need in the bedroom comes down to two things: function + style. It’s easy to achieve both when you opt for handcrafted, solid wood furniture that is made to last!
Here are our top tips for selecting the right bedroom furniture for you.
Decide if You Want a Bedroom Set
If you want your bedroom to have a cohesive look and feel, choosing a rustic bedroom set might be your best choice. Instead of picking items one by one, a set will include everything you need for your bedroom to go together seamlessly.
If you want more of an eclectic look, or only want to upgrade a few of your bedroom furniture pieces, you can instead select furniture pieces individually.
What’s typically included in a bedroom set?
Most bedroom sets contain the furniture items below, but they can be customized based on your space and needs.

Start With the Bed
The focal point of the bedroom is, of course, the bed! Because it’s the core piece of any bedroom, we recommend selecting your bedframe first in order to set the stage for the rest of the room.
Whether you love a cozy look like the Kaycee Farmhouse bed, a traditional solid wood bed frame like the Toryn, or prefer something more contemporary and low-profile like the Silverton Live Edge bed frame or Madison Panel Bedroom Set, we have plenty of styles to suit your preferences. Our bed frames can also be customized to fit your specific design tastes and needs.

Optimize Storage
Storage is essential in most bedrooms for added clothing space and function and can be accomplished with a few different options of bedroom furniture.
Dressers, drawer chests, and armoires - Consider the number of people sharing the room, the closet space, and the size of the room when deciding the type and quantity of dressers you will need. Pairing a shorter double dresser with a taller chest of drawers or armoire creates a nice, balanced look in most bedrooms.

Nightstands - Placed on one or both sides of the bed, nightstands give a clean and finished appearance to your room. Nightstands with drawers can also add extra storage to your bedroom.

Chests - Another optional storage solution for the bedroom is a wood chest. We love our Waterfall Hope chests placed at the foot of the bed. They are a great choice for storing blankets, clothing, or keepsakes.

Complete the Look With Decor
Once you have the bones of your bedroom set with your main furniture items, you can complete the look by adding a matching reclaimed wood mirror (a nice touch on top of a dresser) or other home decors such as art, framed pictures, pillows, rugs, and more.
We like to opt for bedroom furniture that is high quality and timeless, and then update decor over time to keep the space feeling both fresh and cozy. A new coat of paint or an updated set of bedding can also work wonders for giving your bedroom a mini refresh!
