As previously stated, a good feng shui bedroom is one that promotes a harmonious flow of nourishing energy. Open the windows in your bedroom to keep the air fresh and full of oxygen. Plants are not good feng shui in the bedroom, unless the room is quite large and the plants are placed far away from the bed.
Good lighting is very important, you should make sure you have several layers of lighting or use a dimmer switch to adjust the energy. Candles are best, but be sure to buy ones with no toxins. (more…)

You have finally found the vision on how you want your bedroom to look after researching the internet for months. Now down to the hard work of stripping the walls, filling in the imperfections and finally painting or wallpapering.
Have you done enough research about the quality of your bedroom furniture? No, then let me lend a hand.
Oak or walnut wooden beds
Try to buy a bed that is solid wood. Key factors to look for are no small finger pointed laminations on the siderails, head and tail rails. Look for signs of white sapwood showing towards the outside of the bed. Whilst this is not crucial to the construction, it shows that the manufacturer has taken time to put the sap face to the inside of the bed with the pure oak tones showing.

You bought your house a few years ago now and you have gradually decorated room by room, finally reaching your bedroom. This room need to feel tranquil and releaxed, so getting the mood right is important.
An important point to remember is you shouldn’t try to cram too much furniture into your bedroom space as this will ruin the look and feel. The immediate concern will be the bed, followed by storage needs. In a double bedroom a bedside cabinet either side of the bed is a good idea, particularly if you like to read at night as bedside lamps can be placed on them. A chest of drawers is a must along with wardrobes. The furniture can then be added to create the individual mood with bedding, curtains, pictures and accessories, thus adding style and personality.

Wooden bedroom furniture roomsets are sold in order to minimize the amount of time it takes to purchase furnishings. By buying furniture for the bedroom separately (that is, buying each piece individually), not only do you run the risk of breaking the design theme but you also may end up paying more in the long run. Buying roomsets may help offset cost in the same way that buying anything in bulk ends up cheaper. Many suppliers , manufacturers and retailers are willing to make deals and lower prices when consumers decide to purchase a package deal that includes all of the bedroom furniture for a specific part of the home. Doing this for a bedroom makes more sense as bedroom furniture is very functional. There are decorative pieces available, but it is likely that everything in a set will be used some way or another.

Oak wardrobes can be traced back to the 17th century. Oak as widely used for the construction of wardrobes because it was widely available all over the country.

AKKA Furniture’s beds and mattresses are often said to be among the finest available. Combining craftsmanship with the best of contemporary design has been our aim since we started the company. AKKA Furniture began as a bed making firm in 2007 and we’ve been designing and making quality bedroom furniture, including beds,chests, wardrobes, wardrobes and mirrors ever since. A third of your life is spent in bed, so it’s very important that you choose the right bed for you and your partner.
Size?
You need to consider the size of your bedroom when deciding on bed size. You need enough room to walk around the bed, and don’t forget the rest of your bedroom furniture needs to fit in too. Leave plenty of space for bedroom and wardrobe doors to open if space is tight.
Take into account that most sleep experts (including the Sleep Council) agree the bigger the bed, the better the sleep.
The width of the bed is particularly important if you sleep with a partner. A standard double bed (135cm) gives each person just 69cm of space which is much narrower than a single bed. Also, the average person tosses and turns up to 70 times a night, therefore a wider bed ensures you are both more likely to get a good night’s sleep.
The length of the bed is also important. We recommend that your bed should be 10 – 15cm longer than the tallest partner. As a guide if you are over 6ft tall we recommend a kingsize bed to ensure that you don’t end up sleeping diagonally across the bed which is uncomfortable for you and your partner, as well as bad for you back.
Which Mattress?
Choosing the correct mattress is extremely important to ensure comfort. In 1988, sleep expert Dr Chris Idzikowski conducted a study which found that swapping an uncomfortable old bed for a comfortable new one could account for an average of 42 minutes extra sleep per night – four times that achieved by over the counter sleep aids.
We can supply Dreamworks matresses at AKKA Furniture, delivery time is normally two weeks.
