BEDROOM FURNITURE ESSENTIALS: FROM BEDS TO STORAGE SOLUTIONS
We spend approximately one-third of our lives in the bedroom, yet it’s often one of the rooms that is overlooked when it comes to interior design. It’s not just a place to put a cosy bed, but a space that can be transformed into a tranquil oasis with the addition of innovative storage solutions to keep clutter to a minimum.
At CB2, we put as much emphasis on the bedroom as any other room in the home, with a collection of bedroom sets that include everything from beds to storage solutions. Here are our top bedroom furniture essentials.
Beds – the heart of the bedroom
From bunk beds for the kids to an indulgent super-king-size bed, the right bed is the focal point of your bedroom. When choosing your new bed, ensure it fits the room's footprint, taking into account the space around the edges for cupboard and wardrobe doors to open easily, as well as room for a bedside table to nestle alongside, complete with a table lamp and trinket tray.
If you’re lacking traditional storage capacity, a storage bed is a great way to utilise under-bed ‘dead space’ that would otherwise be home to nothing more than dust. A king-size bed with storage provides a large area to store seasonal clothes, spare blankets, and a host of other items that you don't need constant access to. It can declutter a room, leaving it feeling more tranquil and calming. And if you don't have the space for a king-size bed, consider a queen bed with storage, which is ideal for a guest bedroom or a teenager’s room.
Vanity tables and chairs
If you’re getting ready for that big night out, do it in comfort rather than leaning over the bathroom sink to use a mirror with poor lighting. Vanity tables are comfortable and easy to introduce into a modern bedroom. With drawers, a space for a comfy seat, and a larger mirror, you can take your time and make sure you look fabulous. Add a floor-standing mirror in a corner to check your outfit is looking perfect from every angle, and you’ve created a dressing area within your bedroom space.
If you have a large bedroom, a chaise longue at the foot of the bed or a window seat is an elegant addition to your décor, giving your bedroom even more functionality. If you’re lucky enough to have a balcony, don’t forget to add some elegant outdoor furniture that ties in with your bedroom furniture design concepts, ensuring a sense of continuity between the two.
Wardrobes and dressers
Bedroom furniture needs to provide a measure of functionality, especially when it comes to storing your clothes. Free-standing wardrobes provide a timeless addition to any bedroom. If you don't have built-in storage, a free-standing option can be positioned in precisely the right place and keep your capsule collection in pristine condition.
Dressers offer an alternative storage solution, creating a sleek, low-level accent with a surface that can also be used to display artwork or as a stand for a media centre. Chic contemporary designs and interesting colourways make the collection of wardrobes and dressers at CB2 perfect for the modern bedroom. Imagine the sophistication of a leather-covered dresser, combined with warm wood tones or a bright white wardrobe with a striking crimped design, and you can see how the humblest of bedroom furniture can be elevated to a whole new level.
With inspiration from our top Design Collective experts, a flair for the unusual, and a determination to advance interior design to new heights, bedroom furniture from CB2 is much more than just beds. Check out our Inspiration collection for even more ideas.
