Bedroom furniture may be purchased in sets or separately.


Any piece of furniture that you decide to move to your bedroom can become a piece of bedroom furniture, but traditionally certain types of furniture are considered bedroom furniture. Some pieces of bedroom furniture may function well when moved to other rooms. Bedroom furniture may be purchased in sets or separately.

Bed
The bed is the most important piece of furniture in the bedroom; it is what defines the room as a bedroom. Beds may be a single mattress on the floor--if that is all you can afford--mattress and box springs on a simple bed frame, or elaborate head and foot boards. Canopy, sleigh and four-poster are styles of bed frames with posts and head and foot boards. You can paint or attach faux headboards to the wall at the head of the bed.

Clothes Storage
A chest of drawers or bureau holds folded articles of clothing. Many people use drawers to hold socks, underwear, pajamas, T-shirts and jeans while placing easily wrinkled items in the closet. Clothes may also be stored in a wardrobe; wardrobes are cabinet-like closets, or closets you can move from one room to another.

Seating
Bedroom benches are designed to be placed at the end of a bed or in front of a window. They have no backs. Many master bedrooms are built with extra room that many architects call a bedroom retreat. The bedroom retreat is designed to provide room for lounge chairs and sofas so parents have a sanctuary away from their children.

Tables
Nightstands and vanities are two table types of bedroom furniture. Nightstands resemble end tables placed on the sides of the bed. Nightstands hold lamps, glasses and pictures and are also normally equipped with a drawer for private items you may wish to keep at the bedside. Vanity tables resemble desks with mirrors. Vanities may be placed in large bathrooms and are typically used by women applying makeup.

Storage
Bedroom furniture pieces like hope chests, trunks, jewelry boxes and armoires are additional storage pieces. Some armoires house bedroom televisions and hid them behind closed doors. Hope chests and trunks are often placed at the ends of the bed but may also be placed in other rooms of the house.
