We invest so much into the furniture we choose to own.
The investment is not merely by way of finances, but in terms of our selves; our individual thought, intention, purpose and taste.
The furniture for the living room or patio furniture tend to be an amalgam of what we would like to own and what we would like to be seen to own.
The reactions of our relatives, friends, nosy neighbors, envious colleagues all figure in our minds to a greater or lesser degree when we are furnishing the more public spaces in our homes.
However, when it comes to our bedrooms it is your distinctive personality that receives priority.
Hence, choosing the right bedroom furniture is of great importance.
From the Zen to the cluttered, the escalating array of bedroom furniture allows you to build your personal comfort zone.
If this is the kind of space you want, then you could perhaps do away with furniture altogether with the exception of an unobtrusive built-in wardrobe and a mattress on the carpet.
If you are meticulous about coordination you can opt for a modular bedroom suite with matching bed, night stands and accessories.
There is no limit to the furniture options available.
From rattan to powder coated metal or even leather and wood of every hue and texture, from the blond maple and rubber wood to the rich grained teak and the noble ebony, you can choose the ones that you prefer the most.
Options for Beds range from single to queen sized in every format.
Do you want to go low-slung contemporary? Then a platform bed with crisply fitted sheets presents a tasteful, no-nonsense easy maintenance option.
A plump duvet thrown over topped with pillows and cushions changes the slim-lined appearance of the bedroom into something more cozy and inviting.
For a more classic feel, you might find a four-poster just your thing - distinguished and regal without compromising on comfort or eye-appeal.
If your partner is a roller, you may both agree to a twin arrangement rather than a double.
Then there's bedroom furniture for tots and teenagers, practically genres in their own rights.
One can imagine the nursery in pastel painted furniture, traditionally blue for boys and pink for girls with cozy little box-spring beds to be tucked into and bounced good night.
There is the rustic, rough-hewn, textured preference for teenagers who are not going to treat their environment with a great deal of reverence.
Bunk-beds are an all-time favorite.
The sofa-bed is a perennial favorite for singletons who might prefer the compactness of studio apartments.
Closets and shelf space are integral bedroom furniture that also defines the individuals whose rooms they adorn.
Three-door wardrobes with ceiling to floor mirrors might reflect the fashionable, figure-conscious trend-setters.
Walk-in closets are a functional hold-all for busier types.
Chests of drawers suit the more organized, meticulous minds whereas an assortment of shelves depicts the more open, accessible personalities.
A bedroom has sanctity of its own, and bedroom furniture has much to do with how cozy, secure and appealing you want to make it.
