In today’s small house or apartment, it is important to be able to fit more than one child in a bedroom without being cramped. Each child needs his or her own bed, with room to fit essentials like a toy box or a TV stand- maybe even a computer desk for older children. Keep this in mind when shopping for kids bedroom furniture and you’ll be better off when trying to arrange the bedroom. A kids’ bedroom set with bunk beds plus room for storage can solve all the problems created by having more than one child in a bedroom.
The extra convenient Shaker Loft Bedroom Set in Maple features a top bunk with a bottom bunk at a ninety degree angle. The built in ladder provide a route onto and off of the top bunk, while the built in closet and drawers provide clothing storage. Behind the ladder is a built in desk with drawers- the perfect spot to get some homework done. All the features of the loft bed add up to a very convenient set for a small bedroom. Made from a combination of hardwood and high density fiberboard, the entire set is finished in an attractive maple tone. Even for a child who doesn’t have to share a bedroom, this would be a great set for the child who loves to have sleepovers.
This loft bed set is made by South Shore Furniture with the space conscious parent in mind. Other convenient offerings from South Shore include wooden storage beds, modern platform beds, and other affordable bedroom furniture pieces to help folks make the most of limited space.

A house with a traditional design plan calls for very traditional furniture. People want a sense of unity in their surroundings, and a piece of furniture that is out of place with the other pieces in the room can have a jarring effect on the eye. So when you need barstools for your traditional design in your kitchen or dining room area, a good traditional barstool is a necessary item.
The traditionally styled Pompei Bar Stool is made of solid wrought iron with a rustic black and gold finish. The distinctly Italian style curves in the wrought iron back would look right at home in an outdoor café on the streets of a relaxed Italian city. The back also has another detail that adds to the beauty of the piece as well as the rustic charm: a slate mosaic at the top of the chair back to gives it an interestingly beautiful stained glass appearance. All this with a lazy Susan style swivel underneath a padded seat upholstered in a soft natural colored fabric. This lovely barstool is available in 24 inch and 30 inch heights for versatility of use- use them at your dining room table or at your bar or workbench.
The Pompei Bar Stool is one of the many unique creations by Hillsdale Furniture. They have wrought iron furniture pieces for every room of your home including kids bedroom furniture, iron daybeds and wrought iron headboards and much more. The selection is as limitless as the number of things you can accomplish with a quality piece of furniture.

What could be better than settling down into bed on a cold winter day with a nice cup of cocoa or herbal tea and a good book? Keep the heater turned down so the bed is that much cozier, climb into some comfy flannel pajamas, sip your warm drink and read until you drift off to sleep, wake up and do it all over again. What a lovely way to spend a day. While it’s a beautiful daydream, most of us don’t have that kind of time. Why not decorate your bedroom with a lovely bedroom set that makes you feel just as relaxed and cozy?
The Mountain Lodge Platform Bed Set with Dresser looks and feels like a bedroom set you’d find in a mountain retreat cabin. The platform bed and headboard are styled in modern, clean lines and a dark ebony finish for a very classy look. The nightstand and triple dresser are both finished in a matching ebony color with classic wooden knob drawer pulls. For a slightly cozier look and feel, you can pay a few dollars extra for the button tufted headboard instead of the wooden one. The bed is available in queen size only.
Designed and built by South Shore Furniture this set is only one of many in the furniture line. There are dozens of other headboards, sleigh beds, and king master bedroom furniture to choose from, and the more choices you have, the easier time you’ll have finding the one that suits you best.

Every bedroom could use at least a little bit more storage. This is especially true of tiny little college dorms and apartments, where space is invariably at a premium. Some of the bigger college cities have apartments for students where the rent is so high that up to six people can end up splitting the rent on a three bedroom apartment. In situations like those, it is very important to have the most compact yet storage efficient living space available. Buying a sensible set of furniture for your high school grad to take to college is very important. A storage bed is a great idea, and so is a tall chest of drawers with lots of storage space and yet a small footprint in the room. Another great idea is a bookcase headboard that will provide even more storage space in the floor space already taken up by a bed.
The Manhattan Tall Bookcase Headboard is an idea alternative for this. Taller than the average bookcase headboard, it has several storage compartments for books, pictures, keepsakes, and even perhaps the nighttime essentials that would usually be kept on a nightstand. Made from solid wood laminate and finished in a dark espresso hue, this headboard is available in twin or double/ queen sizes to fit the typical college apartment sized bed. With this headboard attached to a storage bed, a storage bench at the end of the bed, and a tall chest of drawers on the wall opposite the headboard, a student can stay neatly on one side of a small room and even have room for a desk in the process.
This headboard is part of the Manhattan collection by Prepac Furniture, the leader in quality, affordable bedroom furniture that is ready to assemble. They also carry modern platform beds and storage beds that will work in the space- saving bedroom design.

There are dozens of different uses for a good barstool, although a barstool is sometimes not the first thing people think of for seating. Not only can an attractive barstool liven up an otherwise ordinary kitchen or breakfast nook, but it can be used as a convenient seat in the kitchen during lengthy cooking or baking projects or recipe file organization. Being able to sit down at the kitchen counter to compile a shopping list is also a handy option to have available.
The decidedly elegant feel of the Macinac Bar Stool would look right at home placed around a glass top bistro table in a cozy little breakfast nook. The wrought iron barstool frame has dramatically bowed legs with a ring along the inside to serve as a support for the legs and a footrest. The chair back is decorated with vertical slats with a lathed appearance, and topped with a charming arched solid piece painted with a cherry pattern. The seat is round, lushly padded with a thick layer of foam and upholstered in a lovely beige fabric. It is available in 26 inch or 30 inch heights to accommodate your every counter stool or bar stool need.
This lovely barstool is made by Hillsdale Furniture. The folks at Hillsdale really know their barstools, and they have a very large selection of original pieces.

A set of bunk beds is the handiest type of bed you can buy for a child’s bedroom. When shopping for kids bedroom furniture for a room shared by two or more children, bunk beds make the most of limited space by building up from the floor instead of across the floor. A feature that makes bunk beds even more convenient is the ability to add drawers underneath the bottom bunk to add even more storage space within the small footprint of the bunk beds. Bunk beds with drawers underneath would also be a great way to make the most out of a small guest bedroom. Two sets of bunk beds with drawers would be enough sleeping space to house an entire family comfortably.
Atlantic Furniture makes several extremely attractive Mission style bunk bed sets to choose from. The Mission style is very popular for its simplicity and contemporary good looks. These beds are a great choice for a kids bedroom furniture set or for guest bedroom furniture. The beds do not come with the drawers underneath, to keep the cost down for those who do not wish to use drawers. The Flat Panel Bed Drawers are available as a set of two, and they have a lovely walnut finish to match the bunk beds in the collection. The drawers are available in twin/ full size and queen/ king size so that they can be used underneath other beds as well.
These drawers are made by Atlantic Furniture. They had designed and produced numerous pieces of affordable bedroom furniture and kids bedroom furniture made from quality hardwoods.

Clean, straight lines and simple styling are hallmarks of the newest modern bedroom furniture trend. A platform bed sits very low to the ground, and is very stylish in its simplicity. Possibly the best part of the platform bed is that it is self- contained support for your mattress. You do not use a box spring with a platform bed, which keeps the cost of replacing your bed down as low as possible. You’ll only need to replace your mattress- and that’s only if you really need to. Platform beds are great for those who like extra support in a firm sleeping surface.
The Cosmos Platform Bed Set with Dresser includes a platform bed and nightstands with a bridge storage shelf over the head of the bed. It also includes a double dresser. The entire set is finished in a dark charcoal shade and made of very sturdy wood laminate particle board. The set is available with either a full or queen size bed frame, so it is perfect for a teenager’s bedroom. There are other pieces available for separate purchase in the Cosmos collection from South Shore Furniture, so you can add pieces if you need them. The choice is entirely up to you.
The South Shore Furniture company makes this lovely set of affordable bedroom furniture. If this set isn’t quite your speed, simply take a virtual walk through the other pieces they offer, such as contemporary storage beds and traditional sleigh beds in addition to many other styles.

A nightstand is a great versatile piece of furniture. It is very handy to have a nightstand on each side of the bed. It is also handy to have a nightstand in other places in the house, such as sofa end tables in the family room, as a small TV stand, or as a catchall inside the front door for your purse or other objects you tend to bail as soon as you walk in the front door. If you have a set of great nightstands by your bed when you decide to redesign, you can always repurpose them in another room of the house and save money at the same time.
The Contemporary Charcoal Nightstand is a particularly great piece for all these places and more. Unlike most nightstands, this one has a storage rack inside for storing many CDs safely. There is also a drawer and an open cubby at the top for storing other items. If you love to go to sleep at night listening to Mozart or Rossini through a pair of headphones, then this nightstand would be perfect as you can store your favorite CDs and your personal CD player within arm’s reach. The large surface is also enough room to place a lamp and still have room for a glass of water and your glasses, plus your bedtime reading material.
Made by South Shore Furniture, this nightstand is just one of many great pieces of furniture available in their line of affordable bedroom furniture. If you’re also in the market for a bed, you’ll find many different modern platform beds and metal headboards, as well as dozens of other pieces to choose from.

Most people want their dining room to be beautiful, especially since the dining room tends to be one of the front rooms in the house. A lovely dining room can be very inviting to visitors, and they may find it hard to say no when you ask them to stay for a cup of coffee. A beautiful dining set can be just the right touch to make a dining room that is just ‘okay’ into a lovely room that people don’t want to leave. As a fine example, take a look at the Caster Chair Dining Set by Pastel Furniture.

The most obvious use for side chairs is as chairs at the dining room table, but there are lots of other uses for chairs around the house. If you frequently have friends or coworkers drop by your house for a minute, then a chair or two by the front door might come in handy for a quick chat or as a place to put a purse and a coat. A couple of extra chairs in the living room can help during family game night. And there is always room for a chair in the kitchen, where it is handy to have a place to sit while babysitting cookies in the oven or while organizing recipes. Simply having extra chairs available can quickly increase your capacity at the dinner table to accommodate extra guests during the holidays.
One very attractive and inexpensive set of chairs for all these purposes and more is the Wilshire Side Chairs Set of Two. For one very reasonable price, you get two chairs that are decorated in traditional Americana style with lovely swirl carved legs and an upholstered seat. The back has several inset carving patterns that arch up into a lovely fountain motif. The chairs are available in antique pine, antique white, rubbed black, and cranberry finishes. These chairs match with any other piece of furniture in Hillsdale’s Wilshire Collection including the dining room table with matching carved legs.
Hillsdale Furniture is a very versatile furniture company. They make furniture for every room out of every material available to suit any taste and any budget.

Having extra chairs around the kitchen or dining room table always comes in handy. Extra guests need a place at the table too. But if one or two of the guests are kids, there may be a need for different seating. Having a higher chair can work out a lot better than trying to perch kids on a phone book in the chair, and that can mean less hassle at the table and a more peaceful meal for everyone. A high barstool without the normal swivel could be just the answer.
The Northern Heights Non- Swivel Bar Stool Set of Two is a great choice for this purpose. Built like a chair without the swivel of a typical barstool, it has a handy increased height of a barstool. It is finished in a black and honey finish, and the seat is upholstered in a lovely honey colored fabric. The legs are carved and the back has a dashing crisscross pattern. A simple yet lovely chair, it will fit in nicely with any design plan you have going in your kitchen or dining room. It comes in a set of two, so you don’t have to worry about ordering a large quantity of them separately.
Designed and produced by Hillsdale Furniture, these barstools are just one of many designs available in barstools. There are also headboards, modern platform beds, and contemporary bedroom furniture by the same company that everything they make is reasonably priced, very high in quality, and extra durable for many years of usefulness.
