If you are planning for bedroom decoration the you should select your bedroom furniture wisely. It should not be boring and traditional. These unique ideas can transform the ordinary into something extraordinary.
Swing Enable Bed
A swing can serve as much more than just an outdoor toy. In fact, you can turn an outdoor swing into a comfortable piece of bedroom furniture with a little innovation. Instead of the traditional setup, with a back and seat, you can lay it flat. Add a lightweight mattress to the platform and you are good to go. Suspending the swing from the ceiling takes special hooks in order to support the weight. You should also make sure to attach the hooks to joists to ensure that you do not fall during the night.
Changing Your Closet
Instead of putting your frame and mattress out in the open space of the bedroom, try to arrange it in your closet, instead. This frees up the room to hold other objects such as a cozy workspace or a library area, while giving you a place to lay your head at night. This idea works best for guest areas where you want to give your visitors added privacy when the space has to double as a regular living area.
Shelving Can Double as Head and Foot Boards
If your room has limited space, you might not be able to have a head or footboard on your frame. Instead, use a shelving system as your head or footboard. The shelves offer additional storage that would normally be taken up by the head or foot board, while giving you the look or feel you desire.
Dressers Make Great Mattress Frames
If your bedroom furniture is limited by space, finding a wide dresser may be the answer to your problem. Instead of having a traditional setup, put your mattress on top of the dresser. This gives you storage that you need for your clothing while providing the support you need for your mattress. You can find frames with drawers in them, often called captain's beds, to double as a dresser, as well.
Non-Traditional Uses Make Great Options
Nightstands are important. They hold alarm clocks and lamps. Avid readers can use bookcases instead of a traditional setup. Those who love travel might stack up a few old suitcases. Older small stepladders can also add whim to your décor.
There are other areas where you can think outside of the box with regards to bedroom furniture. For example, families with children may choose something other than a traditional dresser for their children. Metal shelving with plastic bins offers a unique space for clothes. The bins can be easily decorated and changed out as the child grows. Another interesting idea is to replace traditional drawers with laundry baskets. This way when clothes are cleaned and folded, the basket can then be easily set in the dresser. No more having to put clothes away each week.
Bedroom furniture does not have to be traditional. By arranging pieces differently or even repurposing other items throughout your home to function as a nightstand or dresser, you can redefine your space into something you will truly enjoy.
