How to choose your dream bedroom furniture

Finding the perfect furniture for your bedroom can be difficult. Here’s our handy guide to make your shopping experience a breeze.

Key Things To Consider

Selecting the right bedroom furniture is about finding the perfect balance between style and practicality. The pieces you choose should not only complement your décor but also meet your everyday needs. Here we’ll take you through colours, materials, space saving tips and more, to help you create a bedroom that's both functional and stylish.

Begin at the Bedside:

Bedside tables are essential to any functional bedroom, and there's lots to consider when choosing the right one for you:


  • Start With Space: Start by measuring the space available at either side of your bed, taking the swing of any internal doors and wardrobe doors into account. We have bedside tables ranging from slim to extra-wide to suit the space you have. Check the height of your mattress as well, as its best to keep the bedside table level with or slightly below this.

  • What's Your Style? Consider the look you're wanting to achieve in the space, and what decor you may already have to tie in. Thinking modern and minimal? Look out for handless designs with clean lines in either a matt or gloss finish. Tempted by traditional? Think about rich wood tones and intricate details such as molding or beveled edges.

  • Select Your Storage: Bedside tables can give your space a much-needed storage boost. Want things clutter free? Drawers keep your essentials tucked-away but within easy reach, while shelves are great for quick access and having items on display. The top surface is ideal for placing your phone along with decorative items, pictures and a lamp.

  • Material Matters: With plenty of materials and finishes available, picking the best for you can be tricky. Oaks and Walnuts bring warmth and a natural feel to your space, and usually don't require much maintenance. Gloss and painted finishes bring a brighter and more modern feel and, while they may be more prone to smudges, can be wiped down easily.

chest of drawers tips

Choosing a Chest

Chests of drawers can provide a huge boost in storage for your bedroom or hallway. Here’s what to consider when finding the right one for you:


  • Measuring is a Must: Start by measuring the space where you wish to place a chest of drawers and be sure to leave enough space for you to be able to stand back and open the drawers fully. If you have limited space, consider a tall chest of drawers, which can provide plenty of storage without requiring too much floor space.

  • Decide on Drawers: Consider what you’d like to tuck away within your chest of drawers. If you’re looking for a place to store big and bulky items, look for styles that offer large drawers throughout. Need a place for smaller items? We have styles that offer a variety of different drawer sizes that are perfect jewellery and accessories.

  • Make it a Match: Since your chest of drawers will likely share the room with bedside tables, wardrobes and other furniture, think about how it will complement those pieces. To make coordinating your space easier, we offer several collections with matching sets that bring everything together effortlessly.

  • What's Your Style? Do you have a style or image in mind for your space? Consider how your chest of drawers will tie in with your theme. We have styles ranging from modern and minimal to traditional and timeless, with a range of natural, painted and gloss finishes which are sure to blend seamlessly with your décor.

What About Wardrobes?

Choosing the right wardrobe is key to achieving a well organised bedroom, offering practical storage while enhancing the room's style and function. Here's what to consider:


  • Stand Out Style: Due to their large size, wardrobes are likely to be one of the most standout pieces in your room, so it’s got to look good! Mirrored finishes can brighten your room and not feel too imposing, while wood grains are great for adding a warm natural feel. A classic white finish is great for a more understated look.

  • What's Inside Counts: We offer lots of different internal layouts within our wardrobes, so you can pick a layout that suits your storage needs. A mix of hanging rails and shelves offer flexibility for hanging up as well as folding clothes along with bedding etc. while drawers are a handy addition for smaller everyday items.

  • Opening Options: A classic hinged door wardrobe provides complete visibility and access to your stored-away items but requires clearance for the doors to open. If you’re short on space, a sliding door system maximises floorspace or you can opt for an open-wardrobe for a boutique-hotel look.

  • Measure Up: Wardrobes are often the main storage in a bedroom, and whilst it’s tempting to go as big as possible, measure your space and keep an eye on your walkways and sources of natural light which you don’t want to block. To maximise storage, go vertical—just be sure to check your ceiling height first.

dressing table tips

Decide on a Dressing Table:

Dressing tables can bring function and style to your morning and night routines. Here’s what you’ll need to keep in mind when finding the right one for you:


  • Well Organised: Think about what you’d like to store in your dressing table. Drawers are ideal for keeping makeup, jewellery and skincare products organised and out of sight. Cupboards are great for bulkier items like hairdryers, while open shelves allow you to display more decorative items or even baskets.

  • Be Sure on Size: Decided on where you’d like to place your new dressing table? Measure the space and check for any doors that open into that area to avoid any clashes. For the best lighting, consider placing the dressing table by a window, but make sure you check the height of the window from the floor first.

  • Must-Have Mirror: A mirror is a vital component of a practical dressing table but consider if this is something you want permanently fixed to the dressing table, or freestanding so you can move it or store it away for a clutter-free surface. Many of our dressing tables feature removable mirrors for added flexibility.

  • Material Matters: Dressing tables often face spills from makeup, skincare, fragrances and more, so it’s best to go for a low-maintenance material and finish. Glossy surfaces are quick to wipe down, whilst textured / wood grain styles can make spills and smudges less visible in-between cleaning.
