Once you’ve chosen your wooden bed, you may want some chest of drawers or an elegant oak or walnut wardrobe to compliment it.  Of course, your bed will need dressing in beautiful linen.  Don’t scrimp on thread count, the higher the more sumptuous it will feel.

If you feel its time to put your summer clothes away for the next few months why not consider underbed drawers for neat, convenient storage.  AKKA’s underbed drawers, made in solid oak or solid walnut, are designed to fit neatly under your bed for optimum storage, fitted with wheels for ease of use.  These drawers are solid wood with dovetails front and back.

 The six AKKA wooden bedroom ranges are different yet have in common beautiful designs and are handmade with the utmost care and attention.  As well as beds, AKKA make beautiful and useful bedroom accessories.  Wooden wardrobes, tallboys, blanket boxes and chests of drawers all fulfill your storage demands, and are aesthetically pleasing.

The extraordinary autumn heat may have disappeared, but AKKA wooden bedrooms will bring some warmth back into your life.

AKKA beds are about comfort and style.  These two elements are completely intertwined in the creating of all AKKA bedroom furniture.

AKKA beds come in a variety of styles including the classic Toulouse and the contemporary Milan range, made out of warm American Oak or elegant Walnut.  To make sure the beds enhance your sleep as well as your bedroom, AKKA’s mattress supplier Dreamworks, have a vast array of products, ranging from cage sprung, pocket sprung and memory foam mattress. These mattresses have a spring count ranging from 1000 to 1700 springs to suit every need and they come in sizes ranging from 3ft up to 6’0ft.

It’s not just beds that AKKA offer but a range of wooden bedroom furniture, including tallboys, wardrobes, drawers, bedside cabinets, dressing tables and a variety of storage accessories including underbed drawers and blanket boxes.

AKKA bedroom furniture is hand crafted with care from quality wood, with style and comfort in mind to make sure your bedroom encourages a good night’s sleep. Full moon or not!

At AKKA, we only use quality wood. American Oak is traditional, with a beautiful grain and comes from a sustainable source. Oak definitely delivers a warmth and classical feel to a bedroom, whilst ageing beautifully over time.

Our black walnut bedroom ranges are distinct and luxurious, bringing a stylish contemporary feel.

To compliment this beautiful wood, AKKA’s furniture is hand crafted with care and attention to detail.  We know that while everyone appreciates style, substance is equally important.  AKKA’s bedroom furniture offers a diversity of style, and pieces that will really work for you.  Take a look at  AKKA’s stylish Stockholm sleigh bed.  Or perhaps the Geneva oak four-poster bed would suit your bedroom better.  If you are looking for a walnut bed then maybe AKKA’s Prague spindle bed could be your ideal?  With its beautifully turned spindles and minimal carvings, this solid walnut bed is a bed you really want to touch and enjoy.  As well as beds, AKKA offers an array of accessories.  Whether you want a two or three door wardrobe we can help.  Three drawers or six drawers?   Perhaps a tall boy would work better for you.   We also have a beautiful oak or walnut dressing table to complete your bedrooms.   We understand how important storage is, so we also offer under bed drawers and blanket boxes.

AKKA’s aim is to create bedroom furniture that will look good and work hard for many years to come.

AKKA furniture can bring these styles to your bedroom.  The Toulouse bed comes in solid oak brings Louis Phillipe classic feel to your bedroom.  You can accessorise with a Toulouse bedside and solid two chest drawer.  For a more contemporary French feel, take a look at Paris The combination of oak and walnut on the solid veneer headboard of this bed is an enchanting mix, but we also offer the opportunity to own a bed with a beautifully upholstered, plush leather headboard.  This high quality pull-up leather has been lightly brushed with the addition of beeswax to give a pleasant matt appearance and a sense of hotel chic to your bedroom.  The leather comes from the Selvaggio range of our partner, JMT Leather.

The Milan bedroom range is made from solid oak and has a modernist style, perfect for a more minimalist feel to your bedroom.

If you have been inspired by your travels this summer and want to recreate a whole new look in your bedroom, then please take a look at all the AKKA ranges.  The beautifully handcrafted bedroom furniture we offer are all made with loving care from solid oak or walnut. We create wardrobes, chests, tallboys, dressing tables, mirrors, blanket boxes and underbed drawers.

The ideal bedroom temperature is around 65 degrees Fahrenheit. A room that’s too warm can disrupt comfortable sleep.

Here are some that might help you achieve a good nights kip during the balmy nights:

• Too many blankets and pillows will just send the thermometer sky high. Keep your bed covers to a minimum. 
• Go natural! – man made bed linen is not as cool as natural fibres.
• A slightly open window helps but it’s not always feasible to do this. A fan also cools things down by moving air from bodies and taking the heat with it.
• A more drastic action is to take a pair of cotton socks, rinse them in cold water, wring them until they are damp and put them on. Cooling your feet lowers the overall temperature of your skin and body.
• Sleep in a ’spread eagle’ position, so heat doesn’t gather around you and think of ice bergs!

 Akka Furniture hopes these tips help. We believe that bedrooms should be special and our wooden furniture is created with care to turn your bedroom into a sanctuary that works in every season.

Made from oak and walnut, our beds, cabinets, wardrobes and accessories, are all stylish yet timeless, crafted to last a lifetime. Take time to look through our ranges to find one that suits.  As well as beds, Akka Furniture can provide you with an array of wooden wardrobes and your storage needs can all be met with our many beautiful and functional pieces which include chests, tallboys and blanket boxes.

There are normally tell tale signs when your bed and mattress need changing. Do you wake up in the night with an aching back or keep rolling into your partner? Have you ‘turned’ the mattress and now fall into a hollow part of the mattress formed by your body posture?  When you lay towards the edge of your bed, does the mattress not support your weight and is showing signs or wear?

Research done by sleep expert Dr Chis Idzikowski found that people with uncomfortable beds and mattresses sleep one hour  less than people who have comfortable beds!  The Furniture Industry Research Association shows that beds and mattresses can deteriorate by as much as 70% over 10 years!

If you are one of those people who need to change a bed or mattress why don’t you have a look at AKKA furniture?  We stock eight different styles of wooden beds ranging from 3ft to 6ft in size, in either American white oak or American black walnut.  To complement our beds there is an extensive range of wooden chests, wardrobes and accessories.  Our mattress supplier has chosen to accompany us on our journey is dreamworks beds.  They have a strong passion like us to provide a comprehensive well designed product.

With a spring ( no pun intended) in our step why not get down to some basic cleaning and oiling of your wooden bedroom furniture that you bought from Akka Furniture?  Just a little time spent here will prolong and enhance the life of your bedroom furniture as it is real solid wood.

Real wood furniture is manufactured with a moisture content of between 10% to 12% but if your bedroom furniture is placed into direct strong sunlight or in front of a radiator then there is a chance that your chest of drawers or bedsides will gradually dry out.  This is why you will need to re – oil the furniture.

The best way to re-oil our bedroom furniture is to follow these simple instructions:

1. Clear all your clothes out of the drawers plus anything laying on top of the unit.

2. Place the furniture outside.

3. Get some 220 grit sandpaper and sanding block from your local D.I.Y store.

4. Rub the piece of furniture down following the grain left to right. NEVER  across the grain.

5. Get a lightly damp cloth and take the dust off the furniture. Let the unit totally dry.

6. Take a lint free cloth and some Danish Oil and rub the oil into the wood following the grain.

7. Leave outside to dry.

8. Place the furniture back into your bedroom space.

All of the above can be carried out on all of our bedroom pieces such as chests of drawers, bedside cabinets , wardrobes, dressing tables and blanket boxes.

There’s a real art to handling wood . That’s why we make each piece of furniture indivdually , giving the chest of drwaers or the oak wardrobe the same attention to detail it deserves and at every build stage. We hand select all of solid timber products but the same can be said for the real wood veneers that we use aswell. Only the best will do.

All of the doors and drawers are hand assembled then oiled with three coats of Danish oil to ensure a high degree of colour match throughout every piece of furniture that will end up on show in the bedroom. However  there are always individual variations of colour and grain , so when we say our product is unique we mean it and the same goes for your bedroom furniture.

Finishes to your furniture should always complement the choosen wood. Take our oak range for instance. The danish oil brings out those delicate honey tones which only enhances our minimal classic shaker designs.

At Akka furniture we like to look at the bedroom as a challenge, an opportunity to get creative and make the most of every inch of space.  Believe it or not , although each person’s situation and needs are different , the biggest problem is always space or the lack of it. Which is why it may surprise you to know that there is always loads of it but it’s normally ignored or becomes full of clothes that you don’t wear anymore.

Clear out all those old clothes and shoes from your bedroom furniture pieces such as chests of drawers, wardrobes, dressing tables , blanket boxes and bedside cabinets and trasform your bedroom into that dream environment that you have always dreamed of.  Remember if you feel relaxed and stress free walking into your bedroom this will always lead to a good nights sleep !!!!!!!
