Often when a young person first goes out on their own, they have a sparse collection of furniture. Perhaps they have a few hand-me-downs from mom and dad and maybe a second-hand mattress. If they are just starting out in a career, they may lack the necessary funds to outfit an entire apartment. The key to making a new place feel like a home is to get a new bed. Rather than getting a small twin bed, even if they are single, it is a nice idea to plan ahead for the future and pick up a Queen Size Wood Bed.

The Bassett Spectator Benchback Bed from Vaughan Bassett Furniture comes in a wide variety of colors, including Ebony, Dark English Oak, or Light Camel’s Hair Oak, so you can find a version of this bed that fits your tastes. It features a traditional antique look and the wood grain finish is beautiful. The bed includes the wooden headboard, footboard, and rails. The larger sizes of the bed also come with slats. In addition to queen size, it also come in full, king, and California King.

In addition to the bed, Vaughan Bassett Furniture also makes a number of pieces that coordinate nicely with it. They sell wood bedroom sets including dressers, chests, and night stands in the same color selection, so you can have a set that matches or mix and match a variety of colors for a unique look. A great company since 1919, Vaughan Bassett is an industry leader that you can trust.

Sharing a home means making compromises and concessions. The home’s décor has to be pleasing and comfortable to both partners. Not all couples share the same tastes, especially in master bedroom furniture. One partner may favor minimalistic, modern designs while the other may have a love for Classic Bedroom Furniture. If both are to be happy sharing the same room, some compromises must be made. Transitional furniture can be a happy medium between the two styles. Transitional pieces like headboards and dressers have some elements of each style. For example, a bed might have a modern shape but be made of a more traditional material like wood.

The Mountain Lodge Rounded Bedroom set is one example of a transitional bedroom set. It has the simple lines and clean look of modern design. The head and footboard panels are smooth and unadorned by traditional carvings or flourishes. However, it also has the dark wood finish and thick molding details of traditional bedroom sets. The high arched shape of the headboard and mirrors is a motif often used in both styles. Choosing this set is a compromise that is easy to make.

Even if a couple’s tastes diverge when it comes to affordable bedroom sets, they will be able to agree on this well-priced set from South Shore Furniture. This company has been in the business of making reasonably priced furniture for three generations. It offers excellent value for the price and a style that can bring together even polar opposites of design.

When you think of Wrought Iron Beds, you don’t usually think of contemporary bedroom furniture. More likely, what comes immediately to mind is something from your grandmother’s house or a quaint, old bed and breakfast where you once vacationed. Iron beds are usually decoratively scrolled and heavily embellished for a fanciful, romantic look. Oftentimes, they give a room an old-fashioned look and feel. This may be a desirable look for some, but minimalists and modernists won’t enjoy this aesthetic. These beds usually just don’t lend themselves well to modern design. That may be the perception held by many consumers, but it’s not necessarily the complete truth. There’s more to wrought iron than just granny’s old bed.

Iron and metal beds are being seen in the most contemporary homes these days, thanks to some creative thinking designers at companies like Hillsdale Furniture. Though many of their designs live up to the traditional reputation that wrought iron has garnered, there are also quite a few exceptions to the rule. Some of their beds and headboards are strikingly different and would blend seamlessly with any modern bedroom furniture.

The Marco Bed is one of Hillsdale’s more modern iron beds. It has an arching headboard and footboard with an unexpected V-shaped motif in the center. Its finish is unusual for an iron bed as well; it’s brown rather than the traditional white or black. It’s not fanciful in the least. The strong lines have a masculine appeal. This bed challenges all your notions about metal beds.

A small bedroom may not be able to accommodate enough storage for its occupant. This is especially true with children’s rooms. Usually the smallest bedrooms in a home, kids’ rooms need smart Storage Bed Solutions for all the clothes, toys and books that might otherwise accumulate in the floor. The smallest family members often have the largest messes and they need the help good furniture can give them. A kids’ bedroom furniture must be durable, safe and practical and if it can add storage space to the room and help control the clutter, it could be a parent’s dream-come-true.

One smart solution for organizing a small bedroom is a storage bed. Many of these beds take their design cues from the berths of ships. These sleeping quarters are notoriously tiny but they creatively take advantage of every inch of space to create opportunities for built-in storage. The Shaker Mate’s Bed is one example of nautically inspired youth bedroom sets. A common feature among these beds is a set of built-in drawers under the bed. Headboards may feature bookcases for tucking away bedtime stories or study materials. One advantage of a storage bed is that even small children can reach the shelves of a headboard and the low drawers. They can begin learning good tidying up habits at an early age.

Children’s Bedroom Furniture can be just as stylish and practical as their parents’ bedroom sets. With all the options available today, there is no need to sacrifice form for function. Even the littlest family members deserve beautiful and practical furnishings.

Most children, at one time or another, have dreamt of having bunk beds. There’s something exciting about crawling up a ladder to the ceiling or under another bed in order to go to sleep. Look in any catalog of Children’s Bedroom Furniture and you’ll see evidence of this passion in the many different choices for this type of kid’s beds.

The Cottage Colors Bunk Bed from Alexander Julian will indulge this childhood fantasy with grown-up cottage style. Finished in white, it is a lovely addition to any home’s décor. This pair of children’s beds makes the most of even limited space. In addition to the two bunk beds, a trundle bed can be added to sleep a third person without taking up more space in the room when it’s not in use. Think of the possibilities for adding bed space in vacation homes like lake houses and beach cottages. The style of these beds will fit right in to a vacation place, too. Their solid wood construction and painted finish would be charming in any setting but is even more appropriate near the water.

Bunk beds are actually a type of Platform Bed. The mattress sits directly on the bed’s flat surface, eliminating the need for a box spring, not to mention the cost of one. In addition, most bunk beds are designed to be used either stacked or separated into two twin beds. This adds versatility to their list of features, a good thing when the charm of climbing to the top bunk every night wears off.

Captains who lived on board their ship many years ago knew one thing: they needed more room. Many of us who watch television shows that feature pirates or even just regular ships believe that the ships were very large and that the captains had huge quarters in their bedrooms. This, however, was not so. Most captains had a very small room and had to do what they could to get more space, which is just like the average homeowner nowadays. That’s why captains would often have drawers under their Platform Beds, and is why many people now look for the same thing.

The Atlantic Bookcase Platform Bed is not just a bed, but is a great way to add space to a room that needs to have more space. To start with, this bed has plenty of storage space, with three drawers that rest under the bed to provide room for clothing, toys, or any sort of knick knacks. But not only does it have drawers, it also has a trundle underneath it. This is ideal for homes that have more than one child who share a room with little space, or for the ultimate in sleepover beds!

Because this bed is made by Atlantic furniture, you can rest assured that it is going to keep your children safe and will last for a long time. This great space saver comes in a variety of colors, including antique walnut, white, and natural maple.
