When it comes to resting, sleeping, dressing and grooming, the first places that come to mind are bedrooms. Bedroom furniture is what turns bedrooms into functional, comfortable and aesthetic spaces where we take refuge to get away from the tiredness and stress of the whole day and prepare for the day with stylish clothes and accessories in the morning.
Bedroom furniture, designed to meet many needs and expectations, especially storage space, appeals to every taste and decoration style with different material, size, texture, color and form options. The indispensable features of bedroom furniture, such as durability and quality, ensure that the functionality and elegance it possesses continue to exist for many years.
When purchasing bedroom furniture consisting of pieces such as bedsteads, bed bases, nightstands, dressers and wardrobes, it is necessary to make a choice by taking many factors into consideration.
In the selection phase, first of all, you need to make a choice that suits the size of your bedroom. If your bedroom is large, you are lucky! In addition to bedroom furniture such as nightstands and dressers, you can also freely use furniture such as sideboards or armchairs, which we are not used to seeing in bedrooms.
If you have difficulty fitting things into your bedroom, it is very important to make few but precise choices. In this respect, compact designs that are not too large but have multiple functions at the same time and provide extra storage space with add-ons such as shelves or drawers will be the ideal choice. In small bedrooms, you can choose bed base models to gain extra storage space or you can use the idle areas under the beds by using stylish storage boxes.
Another element to consider in bedroom furniture is the aesthetic design of the model. When making a choice in terms of design, you should give priority to models that offer a harmonious appearance with other areas of the house. In this way, you can achieve elegance in your bedrooms without disrupting the overall decoration integrity of your home.
In order to enjoy stylish, comfortable and functional bedroom furniture without any problems, the issue you should care about is the materials used in production.
Material Properties of Bedroom Furniture
Different types of materials are used in the production of bedroom furniture. Material types such as MDF, chipboard, particleboard and metal are the factors that determine the life of bedroom furniture.
Chipboard, which is frequently used in the production of all kinds of furniture, is made by mixing wood shavings with synthetic resin and pressing them. Chipboard, which is advantageous in terms of cost, has many disadvantages in terms of durability. Chipboard materials, which are not particularly resistant to moisture and water, tend to lose their form over time due to cleaning processes.
Coating process is applied to make chipboard material more durable. Chipboard coated with laminate gains a structure resistant to moisture and water, taking the name chipboard. However, chipboard also has a disadvantage in showing sufficient resistance to impacts, breakage and scratching required for long-term use.
MDF, which has a longer lifespan than chipboard and particleboard, is produced by pressing small-sized tree residues under high pressure and heat with the help of adhesives. The breaking down of tree residues used in its production and turning them into fiber gives MDF a more non-porous and solid structure. This is the main element that makes MDF more durable than chipboard.
However, MDF is not sufficient to fully meet the durability required for long-term use. MDF, which has the risk of splintering and splitting under high stress, can absorb water very quickly and cause problems such as swelling.
Metal materials, which are quite resistant to breaking, bending or fragmentation, are generally used in details such as legs or handles of furniture, but they are also preferred as the main material when it comes to bedsteads. Metal bedsteads, which create a romantic and vintage atmosphere in bedrooms, are formed by iron being shaped under high heat and are called wrought iron. Although wrought iron bedsteads have a very solid structure, they can experience problems such as darkening, rusting and corrosion over time.
Solid wood, which is the purest and most natural form of wood, is the most advantageous option for long-term use. Solid wood furniture types are distinguished from other types of materials with their lifespan of approximately 250 years. Solid wood, which is highly resistant to water, moisture, impacts and splintering, turns bedroom sets into furniture that will last a lifetime.
Functional Use of Wardrobe, Dresser and Nightstand
Knowing the type of material used in the production of bedroom furniture as well as having information about the functional uses of the furniture makes the selection process easier. You may be confused about what exactly bedroom furniture, such as wardrobes, dressers or nightstands, are used for. Let's clarify this issue.
Wardrobes are generally a type of furniture where clothes and garments are stored. Therefore, thanks to wardrobes, which are also called wardrobes or clothes cabinets, it is possible to store clothes in an orderly manner and to easily access clothes when needed.
Wardrobes, where clothes are usually hung with hangers, also have accessories such as shelves and drawers to place clothes in. Shelves and drawers also provide the necessary space for storing sleeping products such as duvet covers, blankets or quilts.
The nightstand is a small size but functional bedroom furniture that is used by positioning it on the right and left sides of the bed. The main function of the nightstands is to facilitate access to the items needed, especially while lying in bed. Night lamps, alarm clocks, mobile phones, chargers, personal care products or decorative objects are usually placed on the nightstands.
Nightstands have a wide range of design options. Some models consist of only legs and a table, while some models also include drawers and shelves. If you need extra storage space, you can choose a nightstand model with drawers and place your socks or underwear on the nightstand.
Often confused with a nightstand, a dresser is actually a very different piece of furniture from a nightstand in terms of both its purpose and size. Higher and wider than a nightstand, a dresser allows the storage of many clothes or home textile products, especially underwear, with its drawers.
Dressers also provide the necessary space for make-up and personal care products. You can use a dresser model that is not too high as a dressing table by hanging a mirror on the wall.
Bedroom Decorating Ideas
Bedrooms are multifunctional living spaces. However, since the most basic function of bedrooms is to rest and sleep, it is necessary to prioritize these choices during decoration. It is very important to create a space that is as calm, quiet and comfortable as possible.
We recommend that you use peaceful and easy-on-the-eyes colors on your bedroom walls. Instead of vibrant or bright colors, you can choose neutral and pastel colors.
The lighting used in bedroom decoration should not be too intense, which will help create a relaxing environment. In addition, since bedrooms are also used in preparation for the day or a special night, you may need more intense light in certain areas. Therefore, we recommend that you use different lighting options together in bedrooms. You can meet your need for a strong light source with local lighting by avoiding white and intense light in general lighting.
When choosing furniture for your bedroom, you can follow certain decoration styles in terms of design. The Scandinavian style, which is a symbol of serenity and calmness, is the style that best suits bedroom decoration. In accordance with the Scandinavian style, you can choose bedroom furniture that offers simple elegance and stands out with its functionality.
You can choose the Latanwood Svetik Wardrobe model , which comes to life with the unique form of solid wood thanks to handcrafting, in accordance with the Scandinavian style or to create a more natural and functional space. The Svetik Wardrobe model, which has pine, walnut and white oak options, offers the storage space you need with its large dimensions and drawers. The wardrobe model, which has a Hazeran knitting detail on its doors, adds a natural, simple but striking elegance to your bedrooms with its aesthetic design.
