You spend at least one-third of your day in your bedroom, so the furniture that adorns it should offer a nice mix of comfort and functionality. Whether you’re replacing just the bed or updating the entire room, use this guide to decide on the best new pieces. 

3 Tips to Select Master Bedroom Furniture

1. Determine Budget & Space

Before heading off to the furniture store, determine what your budget looks like and browse online to get an idea of the average cost of different pieces.

Also, note the different materials and construction processes used. For items like mattresses, headboards, and nightstands, it’s often worth paying more for quality that will last a long time. 

2. Measure the Space

Use a measuring tape to determine how much space you can set aside for each new piece. Measure the doorframes leading to the room and consider the maximum size a piece can be to fit around tight corners. With this information, you’ll avoid making a purchase only to realize it won’t fit in your home. 

3. Look at Lifestyle

If you’re sharing the room with someone, think about which pieces you’ll both use. The bed, for instance, should accommodate both of your heights. If one of you is tall, look for designs without a footboard. Also, consider a compromised height that allows each of you to get in and out of bed comfortably. 

When purchasing new nightstands, look for pieces that are approximately the same height as your bed. This will make it easy to locate your lamp and any other items you’ve tucked away. If you like to keep a lot of items by the bed, choose one with multiple drawers. 

As for dressers and chests, choose according to the space you have. Dressers tend to be better for couples who are sharing, but chests fit better in tighter quarters. In either case, determine what you plan to store before making a final decision.
