Confused about bed sizes?
Tuesday, December 13th, 2011Moonlight and Bedrooms
Wednesday, September 14th, 2011While the sun might be dimming, over the last couple of nights the sky has been lit by the beautiful Harvest moon. This is the full moon, which falls nearest to the autumn equinox and this year that occurs on September 23rd. While it is a stunning sight to see, there are many myths surrounding a full moon. It is said that to stare at it will send you insane, hence the word lunatic. Plenty of people claim a full moon interrupts with their sleep. That may be the case, but lets face it, it’s mostly that they don’t have a very comfortable bed. (more…)
Summer Nights
Sunday, June 12th, 2011With the beautiful weather we have been enjoying, our body clocks tend to respond to the bright morning light and have us leaping out of bed earlier.

AKKA Bedroom Furniture and where it’s wood comes from
Monday, November 8th, 2010At AKKA bedroom furniture we take the responsibilty of using ethical timbers very seriously.

This will identify that the timber has been sourced from a mill and forest owners that participate in managing it’s forests by re-planting trees after logging has taken place. This encourages people who live in the poorer parts of the world to see that they can still make money from the trees but also still see their natural habitat not totally disappear around them.

Buying bedroom furniture that will last
Thursday, July 29th, 2010You 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.
