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.
Beds are available in two common types, divans or bedsteads. At AKKA Bedroom Furniture we specialise in solid wooden bedsteads in both American White Oak and American Black Walnut. Sizes of beds vary depending on your room size. The key is to ensure you have enough room to walk round your bed comfortably and that you have enough space to open wardrobe doors and and cabinet drawers.
Our wooden chests are variable in size both in width and height. One tip is to maximise the height for the amount of floor space available. Wardrobes can be free standing or built in. Free standing wardrobes may be able to fit into an alcove or small space but it is important to double check dimensions.

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.
Wooden bedside cabinets and dressing tables for example, are frequently sold in sets. This is due to the fact that every bedroom needs them, and they might as well match. When all of the furniture in a bedroom matches, the appearance is one of uniformity and cohesion. All of the items will be necessary at some point or another, so why not purchase them all together at once? Sets guarantee consistent style as each piece of furniture has been designed with all the others in mind. As the central piece of every bedroom set, the bed should be priority and the starting point to the theme and decor of your bedroom. For example, should you go with a divan, a four poster bed, or an upholstered bed? Having the right bed can make all the difference when it comes to deciding how you want the rest of your bedroom decor to look and feel.
Bedroom furniture sets may seem expensive at first glance, it is important to consider the number of items as well. If purchased separately, it is almost guaranteed that you will pay more in the end. Add to this the benefit of possibly receiving every item for your bedroom at once. It is very likely that the furniture will arrive in one large shipment depending on the retailer. Roomsets make it possible to immediately have a fully furnished bedroom. There won’t be excessive waiting for those individual pieces of furniture to complete the look.
Look no further for your one stop QUALITY bedroom supplier.

With the addition of televisions, desks and exercise equipment to bedrooms, there is a greater constraint on available space in the room. There are many creative solutions to dealing with a lack of space. When planning your bedroom, it is important to maximize the space you have to deal with. Whether you just have a lot of stuff or your room is small, creative organizing will help to make the most of the room you have.
There are many ways to save space simply by the calculated positioning of your bed in the room. In a limited space, one idea is to shift your bed lengthwise against a wall to create a daybed, thus allowing extra room for more furniture, like a coffee table or some chairs.
In a small space, prioritize the pieces of furniture for the room. By deciding what’s more important, whether it’s a big impressive bed or a lot of space for storage, the room is better able to fit your specific needs. For example, if you’re a person who has a lot of books or videotapes that you wish to keep in your room, a good solution would be finding a bedside table that also serves as a bookshelf.
If extra shelves are not needed, but drawer space is using a small chest of drawers for a bedside table could also be a good solution. Using that specific piece of furniture as a table and either shelves or drawers to store things, the potential of the space is maximized.
Storage can also be accomplished by a large chest at the end of the bed for example a blanket box, which could also serve as a place to sit with the simple addition of a cushion. Underneath the bed is also a storage place that should not be overlooked for underbed drawers which could help free up more space within the room for other things.

Here at AKKA we use two woods in the manufacture of our wooden beds and bedroom furniture. We have detailed below a desription of each wood
American White Oak – White oak is similar in colour and appearance to European oak. The sapwood of American white oak is light coloured and the heatwood is light to dark brown. White oak is mostly straight grained with a medium to coarse texture, the longer rays than red oak. White oak therefore has more figure.
American Black Walnut – The sapwood of walnut is creamy white, while the heartwood is light brown to dark chocolate brown, occasionally with a purplish cast and darker streaks. Walnut can be supplied steamed, to darken sapwood or left unsteamed. The wood is generally straight grained but sometimes with wavy or curly grain that produces an attractive and decorative figure.
At Akka we make sure that all our oak /walnut beds and oak / walnut cabinets have no sapwood showing on the outside of the product just clear natural wood. This is what sets our bedroom furniture apart from our competitors.

After selecting the bedroom furniture you require, there are a number of issues consumers should be aware of when purchasing wooden bedroom furniture.
Akka Furniture supplies:
- Oak beds and walnut beds - assembly required
- Oak cabinets, walnut cabinets - fully assembled
- bedside cabinets, wooden dressing tables - fully assembled
- Oak wardrobes and walnut wardrobes - assembly required
We use a mixture of solid wood and selected veneers to construct our wooden bedroom furniture. There is an assumption that in order to purchase good quality bedroom furniutre it must be ’solid wood’. This is incorrect. In many cases, a good quality veneer and wood construction can outlast a piece of bedroom furniture constructed of solid wood. The reason is that veneer is less prone to cracking. Bedroom furniture constructed of solid wood has a tendency to sometimes crack or split if it hasn’t been dried out correctly. This doesn’t mean that solid wood will always crack. It only means that wooden bedroom furniture cabinets constructed with veneers should not be overlooked as purchase options.
The best quality wooden bedroom furniture will always require the drawers to be ‘dovetailed’. Dovetails are basically a series of ‘v’ shapes cut into the sides or backs of the drawers which attach together making solid, long lasting joints.
All of AKKA furniture’s oak cabinets and walnut cabinets have dovetails all the way round the drawer boxes.

At AKKA Furniture we make solid wooden beds in the following sizes:
- 3′0ft x 6′3ft - Single
- 4′6ft x 6′3ft - Double
- 5′0ft x 6′6ft - Kingsize

There are a number of considerations to make when purchasing a wooden bed.
The wider your bed the better your sleep will be. This is quoted by sleep experts who say that the average person tosses and turns approximately 70 times a night.
Choose a bed between 10cm / 15cm longer than your height.
Have you got enough room to walk around your bed?
Can you open your wardrobe doors?
Can you open all the drawers on your wooden bedroom furniture?
Remember that ‘ The Sleep Council ‘ recommends replacing your mattress at least every 10 years.

When we started AKKA Furniture, three years ago, well designed quality oak bedroom furniture was our aim. After proving successful, we have gradually added more products to the range to make a comprehensive selection of bedroom furniture for our customers.
