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.

There are a number of good reasons why you should choose F.S.C stamped timber for your bedroom furniture sets.

1. All the timber can be tracked from the forest to the finished furniture product.

2. F.S.C  timber is endorsed by such charties as WWF , The Woodland Trust and Greenpeace.

3. Some parts if not all of the forests are protected because endangered or rare animals and plants are located within it’s boundaries.

4. Forest owners try to employ local people to run and log the forests. This way the local people can earn a living from their local source – the forest.

5. Future generations will be able to work and earn from the forests.

6. It’s not only furniture that the F.S.C label can be found on. Decking , floors , paper and kitchen utensils are just a few other examples.

AKKA furniture makes sure that we fully utilize the full potential of all the log from the tree. We take all of the premimum central cuts of timber and make sure these are used for the drawer fronts , cabinet tops and also the siderails for our solid wooden beds. This means that all the external parts of the wooden cabinets , oak beds , walnut beds and other bedroom accessories we manufacture are showing off the best parts of a quality timber such as american white oak and american black walnut. We don’t just scrap the whitewood called sapwood,  this is used for our drawer sides and backs on the wooden chests. By choosing this method the white of the wood is hidden within the carcass.

Because we at Akka bedroom furniture design, manufacture and sell directly to you the customer we can be very competitive on pricing as we have such low overheads plus when you speak to somebody it is going to be the owners who are answering your questions whatever they are ,  not a sales person.  We believe that it’s important that we try and convey our quality of the comprehensive range we carry in solid oak and walnut through the website so customers can make an informed decision on us.

Last weekend we had one of those family days out to a large out of town shopping complex….. Bluewater!

After finally being worn down by the weather and the wife we ended up in a well known depatment store.  The wife was straight to the clothing department , kids safely deposited in the technology area and I quickly slipped off to the furniture depatment. To be fair there was quite  a few customers looking around the furniture on offer but in my opinion the quality didn’t match up with the price tag on each wooden piece.

1.  Drawer fronts were lots of pieces glued together instead of one solid piece.

2.  Drawer sides and backs weren’t of a matching wood to the drawer front.  Cheaper wood.

3.  The chests had a cheap ply back that didn’t match and wasn’t grooved into the framework of the chest. It was stapled in.

4. The wooden tops were full of white sapwood not plain clear oak.

I just wished iI could have set up a bedroom roomset from Akka alongside their options and let the public see for themselves the quality differences between the two bedroom furniture sets.  When it came to the prices Akka was up to two hundred ponds cheaper on wooden chests and up to one hundred and fifty pounds cheaper on wooden beds.

I came away from there and another major high street retailer more determined to try and get our product higher up on Google and Bing’s rankings. This will then get our furniture in peoples minds and hopefully bedrooms.

Bigger is not always better where furniture is concerned.  Give the small retailer a look.

Spindle beds like our popular Vienna give a traditional look which combined with our beautiful cabinets offer that chic ’shaker style’.

For something a little different the oak Stockholm bed offers a more modern twist on the sleigh bed.  The beautiful curve of this bed is where its real appeal lies, it simply exudes elegance!

Our Milan bed was influenced by designs from the Far East, with clean lines and a smooth balance, we think this bed will last years of change.

Next in the range is our new Toulouse bed, based on the Louis Phillipe style of furniture.  This classic design is impressive, unfussy and ideal for both town and country settings.

If you like a bit of grandeur with a modern feel, then our four poster Geneva bed could be for you, it certainly adds that wow factor to a room!  Draped with sumptuous linen and piled with scatter cushions, you could create your own boutique hotel room with this stunning bed!

Finally, the walnut Prague bed.  Beautifully turned spindles and minimal carving, our only walnut bed is quite simply a stunner!  Placed amongst our walnut cabinets, this bed is so rich in colour it almost speaks to you!

With all beds currently in stock, why not order yours today and look forward to those night drawing in and spending extra hours in your new AKKA bed!

1. All of the furniture will match.

2. One delivery – Minimum disruption to the household and customers having to take time off work to accept delivery.

3. Customers can haggle on price.

4. Takes away the worry that the company might discontinue that bedroom furniture range that you might have been collecting over months or years.

5. Worst case of all , the supplier / manufacturer going out of business in these troubled high street times.

Companies and manufacturers offer various types of bedroom furniture sets

1. Bed with two bedside cabinets.

2. Bed with two bedside cabinets and a chest of drawers.

3. Bed with two bedside cabinets , chest of drawers and a free standing wardrobe.

However most shops will work around the customers needs for a room set as everyone’s needs vary so much.

Taste’s can be influenced by what is on display at any one time in the shop. Customer’s come in with a vision of what they have seen on a television programme or in a magazine and can be deviated by another display in a totally different wood type plus a higher price point. At AKKA Bedroom Furniture we have seen this many times. We have a design of Shaker bedroom furniture that we manufacture in both american white oak and american black walnut. Customers come into the showroom looking for oak but their eye is often drawn to the walnut.

Walnut has a real elegance , with it’s rich dark grain. Why not book an appointment and come and view our walnut furniture for yourself, were sure that you won’t be disappointed.

We can also show you bedroom furniture roomsets in oak and our totally new range called Toulouse whichis our take on the the Louis Phillipe style of furniture.

European oak is found in Slovenia, France, Yugoslavia and many countries from the Baltic region.  American white oak is found in the east of the USA and South Eastern Canada.

Britain as a nation have fallen in love with oak furniture, and many furnish  several rooms in this wood, including dining rooms, living rooms and bedrooms.

Manufacturers usually use two main finishes on oak furniture, either an oil finish such as danish oil or lacquers which show the true wood.  There are trends towards staining oak with a light white painted finish that allows the strong grain to show through.  The same can be said of staining oak with a dark walnut stain, which will replicate American black walnut.  This method reduces cost as this wood in its natural finish is very expensive.  At AKKA furniture we only use solid American black walnut but are able to offer our products at very competitive prices.

A word of caution when buying painted furniture is to ask what type of wood is being used.  Generally the wood used is hemlock or birch.  These trees are then  cut down before they have fully matured, thus meaning several small pieces of wood are glued together resulting in a wider piece of timber.  The manufacturer then applies a base undercoat and then a top finishing coat.  If a piece of furniture is only treated with oil, you can see the true quality and beauty of the wood.

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.

Oak and walnut wooden chests

The main construction of the chests should feature solid wooden legs all round.  The top should be solid wood also with no man made products.  The drawers should be dovetailed all round and solid in construction and strength.  Are the drawer fronts made out of one piece of wood?  Many manufacturers joint their drawer fronts whereas quality manufacturers use one piece of timber.  The backs of the drawer should be grooved into the back legs and no screws, nails or pins used to hold the back panel in place.

Oak and walnut wooden wardrobes

Wooden legs should be used in all wardrobes, the back panels again should be grooved into the back legs.  The veneered back panel should be veneered both internally and externally.  Whilst this  is not compulsary, it shows the manufacturer puts high emphasis on a consistent finish.  Internally, the hanging rail should not be of cheap metal, it is far better to have a solid turned rail and brackets.  If the wardrobe has drawers, again the drawers should be dovetailed and made of one piece of solid wood.
