Furnishing your Bedroom

Monday, July 26th, 2010

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.

Dodgy Divans

Thursday, March 25th, 2010

Looking back the other day through old photographs (when I say old, I mean 1980s old) I noticed just how much home furniture has changed. I’ll be honest with you, my parents still have the wood effect units and melamine wardrobes but most other folk have moved on. The thing I noticed most was the difference in the beds. Every bed in the house was a divan and boy, were they ugly! To make it even worse, they dressed them up in slightly uglier flouncy valances, which seem to defy all laws of taste and interior design decency. Just what were we doing? Instead of a beautiful wooden bed, something which could have defined a room or provided a focal point, we have essentially a wooden box wrapped in fabric. Nothing could more clearly say, ‘this room is not important to me’ more than a divan bed. It seems that bedrooms were just functional; get in, lights off, sleep, wake-up, get dressed, get out! Nowadays bedrooms are where we can wind down, chill-out or lose a Sunday morning. Who would want to do that in a divan when you could be looking at a lovely piece of oiled walnut? I say it’s time for a divan amnesty…without fear of reprise or being mocked by the neighbours we should all be allowed to clear out these sleeping disaster zones once and for all and replace them with something wooden and beautiful!! Come on, chuck ‘em out!!
