Mission Daybed with Link Spring

In a fairy tale world, all of us would have more than enough rooms in our homes. In a fairy tale land, we’d be able to have a guest room set aside specifically for the use of our friends and family. That room would not only be fashionably appointed, it would always be picked up and would be the very reason that many friends and family wanted to stay at your home. This, however, isn’t a fairy tale world, and we often find that we don’t have enough room to allow a friend to spend the night, especially if you are living in an apartment. A daybed, however, can give you enough room for any guest.

The Mission Daybed works beautifully in any style of home and with any décor. It is a simply styled wood daybed that is made with a solid oak construction. The sturdy slats on the arm give it a country look while the way the back is styled, with a slight curve and a few solid slats, keep it contemporary. This bed would work well in any area, no matter whether you’re putting it in a living room or if you actually happen to have a spare room that you can, well, spare.

The creative team at Hillsdale Furniture know how to make furniture that looks beautiful and lasts for decades, as this daybed will do. So even if you’re living in a small apartment now, but move to a larger home later, it will last and you will be able to incorporate it into your new home. Got a study? A daybed works wonderfully there, giving you a place to sit down as well as a sleeping place for guests who happen to show up at your home. Whether you choose to make this affordable bedroom furniture a focal point or simply a side piece, it is sure to be a purchase you’ll love in the years to come.

Ocean Park Bed

The Titanic, before it sank, was one of the most luxurious ocean liners of its time. It was absolutely opulent, from stem to stern, and was the only way for those who had plenty of money to travel. While the Titanic did, unfortunately, meet its end, the opulence of that era is still popular and can be brought into your bedroom easily and inexpensively, especially when you look to metal beds. Metal beds were often used during that time because, at the turn of the century, metal was scarce and expensive. Now, however, metal beds are very affordable and can make a bedroom truly come alive.

The Ocean Park Bed is just the type of metal bed that you would find on the Titanic. This metal bed has all of the classic styles that were so popular back then. The straight rails on the headboard and footboard are nestled in between the thicker posts. Each post is capped with a shiny ball. Below the ball is the unique touch of the inverted bowed headboard and footboard. The metal bends into a graceful bow and makes this piece of master bedroom furniture truly opulent.

If you add the right fabrics to this bed, such as some earth toned patterns or some darker solid colors, you can truly create an unbeatable luxurious feel. Alternately, you could throw all white on this Hillsdale Furniture bed and make a little slice of heaven appear in your own bedroom. The great thing about this bed is that you not only can use it when you’re trying to create an magical bedroom, but the metal fits in almost any décor, so no matter whether you want to create a relaxed atmosphere in your bedroom or any other type of atmosphere, this bed makes the perfect piece of affordable bedroom furniture.

Looking at Platform Beds? Start Here

Looking at Platform Beds? Start Here

You’ve heard about platform beds and you know how they work. You know that they are a great option for any bedroom, especially if you have a newer mattress, because you do not need to have a box spring once you have a mattress that has enough support in it. You still, however, are not sure which platform bed you should choose for our bedroom. Look no further, the answer is here!

To begin your search for platform beds, figure out how much room you have available. All platform beds are different sizes, and even some that say they are a full size actually have a little extra room on the outside of where the mattress is for style purposes. If you choose a bed that has this extra area, you may find that your bedroom does not look the way you hoped it would and is more cramped than you would like. Make sure you have the measurements of your bedroom on hand with you when you’re looking at beds. You may even want to draw up a mock bedroom on graph paper, with one block representing one square foot, so that you can get an idea as to how your bedroom would look with each platform bed, along with other bedroom furniture, in place.

If you are unsure as to which style to select, simply go with your gut. There are platform beds for every style and every type of person, and you may find that the perfect bed pops out at you when you least expect it. Go into your search for a platform bed without any preconceived notion, and you’ll find a bed that is not only perfect for your bedroom, but that perfectly matches your style.

Lily Rose Bedroom Set

Most parents of girls are surprised to see that their daughter becomes more fashion forward than they would ever believe at a very young age. Many four year olds can dress themselves in better outfits than their fathers can! This, however, means that they have a strict idea of what they would like to have in their bedroom, which can make getting a bedroom set a bit difficult, especially when you’re looking at children’s bedroom sets. Many children’s bedroom sets are extremely childish in their design and are not suitable for “young ladies”.

The Lily Rose Bookcase Bedroom Set, however, is a very lady-like bedroom set that would work beautifully for a young girl. This bedroom set comes with everything you would need to set up a young lady’s bedroom (except linens), including a bed, a bookcase headboard and a night stand for her to place her lamp or alarm clock on. The bed sits on three drawers, allowing your young girl to place her clothing or her special treasures inside of the drawers. The bookcase headboard is an ideal place for your young girl to put her books, dolls, or anything she would like to display, and the nightstand has one drawer and a hiding place underneath that works well for additional storage.

Add some feminine colored linens to this set by South Shore Furniture and you’ve got a bedroom ready to go! Remember: the colors this season are pink and chocolate, but pink and orange also work well for a girl’s room. If your daughter doesn’t care for pink, try a nice lavender or purple. All of these colors mesh well together and, when you add them together with this children’s bedroom furniture set, you’ll find an easy to decorate a bedroom she’s sure to love.

Fargo Bed

What kind of a feeling do you want to evoke in your bedroom? One thing that many people don’t realize is that, much like music or a beautiful piece of art, the way a house or particular room is furnished evokes a feeling. These feelings are why some people feel uncomfortable in certain rooms and why others can walk into a room and feel instantly at ease. When you’re decorating your bedroom, it is important to figure out what type of feeling you’re looking for, as the right piece of furniture can help it to give off the right feeling and the wrong piece can take it in a direction that you may not want to go in. If you want sweet, wood beds are often a great choice.

The Fargo Bed is a bed that instantly gives off the feeling of sweetness and simplicity when included in your bedroom furniture. This bed comes in a very simple style, with wood slats attacked to a solid top piece. Both the headboard and the footboard look identical and are finished with a light oak finish. It is available in a twin, full, queen, or king size, which means that it can be used to bring a sense of peace and sweetness to a married couple’s bedroom or to a young child’s room.

Another beauty about a piece like this from Hillsdale Furniture is that it transcends different styles and changes in the furniture realm as it is so simple and sweet that it will work for generations. Add some other light oak furniture and some light linens to this wood bed, and you’ve got a sweet and wonderful master bedroom. Or throw some brighter colors on it and stash it in your spare room to create a peaceful place for your friends or family to spend the night in.
