Bedroom Furniture

Society and Its Effects on Bedroom Furniture

by ericl on September 7, 2008

People didn’t always have the types of bedroom furniture you see in your homes or in decorating magazines.  You should know that as society evolved from a mostly nomadic lifestyle back in the ancient times to agrarian to industrial, the evolution of the bedroom changed peoples lives as well as the furniture it contained.  As the more luxurious the bedroom furniture you see across the ages, the more you can see how the lives of people in society were improving and how that improvement also shaped and fed the energy to continue to improve.

You can imagine that in the beginning, the nomads just slept in the open wild.  They would not have a house let alone a bedroom to sleep in.  They would be sleeping wherever they could be safe and then get up to the next place that had animals to hunt and food to eat.  The did soon start having very portable and mobile tents, but still they were not ready to carry a bed around but rather would sleep on the ground.

Finally as man become more civilized and started farming they allowed themselves to stay in one place.  And then they built farms and small houses where there was one room where everyone slept in.  Gradually, beds were developed but were very primitive in just being raised from the level ground instead of sleeping on the floor.

As people become more productive from the rest and effective at producing, they started having larger houses and more bedrooms where men and women slept separately, if at all possible.  Eventually, as the industrial revolution took shape, it allowed many individuals to afford and enjoy more luxurious furniture.

Up until today, the modern day citizen is allowed to not only rest but relax and enjoy the bedroom furniture that fills their bedroom, of which the ability to continue to optimize their nightly rest allows the average individual to get rested and ready for the next day to come.

  • If you just moved into a new home, good chances are you need to furnish your rooms and get some bedroom furniture.  However, I do notice that fully furnishing your bedroom alone can cost thousands of dollars.  So you ask yourself and look at your wallet where the money has gone to your gas, and say “What do I sleep on?  Where do I put my clothes?”  Well, like many out there today, new homeowners tend to gradually go for the furnish as you go approach, so that way you can get what you need for the basics of bedroom furniture.

    #1 – Take care of where you will sleep first.  If you don’t care too much about style, you can save money temporarily buy getting a mattress and a box spring to go on top of it just to put directly onto the ground.  The key thing is the ensure you make yourself comfortable and able to get good rest.  Be sure to get a good mattress because no matter the look of the bed, you want to be comfortable.  Now if you need to get a bed frame, then you can get a metal bed frame if your budget is tight, as wood frames tend to be more expensive.

    #2 – Figure out where to put your clothes.  Finally, now that you are comfortably rested up, then lets be sure to figure out where all the clothes you have all over the floor will be stored.  Mostly, if you can afford one, a 6 drawer dresser will do the trick.  Not only will you be able to use it to store your clothing nicely with ample storage space, the dresser can double as a table area for simple needs as compared to a chest which would be too high for the use.  So if you are going to need to organize your room, use the closet and go for a dresser.

    #3 – Accessorize when you have the chance.  Now that you have solved your basic needs of rest and organization, you should be ready to accessorize on the final stage of fulfilling the basic needs of your bedroom.  If you haven’t already, I think getting nice window dressings will serve to give you a way to control the outside-light-in ambience as well as improve the overall look of the bedroom.  Then of course, you can move onto the night stand, chest, and vanity tables along the way.

    So with a mattress, bed, dresser, and some window dressings you should be quite comfortable and satisfied with your bedroom without spending too much money.  But overall, make sure you can get some good rest first, and then worry about upgrading the details as you get your bedroom furniture.

  • Best Futon for your Home or Apartment

    by futonL on July 26, 2008

    I am a big fan of wood futon frames because they provide a sturdy long lasting piece of furniture that matches with most decor.  Metal or iron futons are suitable options, but with all the movable parts it is not the greatest material for a futon.  Most wood futon frames are built with top notch quality pieces of furniture that is both sturdy and flexible.

    Additionally, a wood futon frame is lightweight enough so that a single person can easily fold and put away  the futon without much need.

    Here is Visiondecor Top Pick for Futon:

    Abbey I Nutmeg Finish Wood Futon Frame FREE SHIP

    Spice up any bedroom, family room, recreation room, or study with this transitional design futon. Note the clean lines created by the use of wood spindles. This item exudes strength, power and beauty. Abbey’s classic design will attract the traditionalist in us all. Then again, the Candy Cane arm, will inspire those with a more modern whimsical approach to life as well, creating additional opportunities to step-up consumers who wish to “flavor” their acquisition with style.

    This futon frame comes with a 2 Year Manufacturer’s Warranty. Purchase includes the futon frame only. Accessories and mattresses are not included. Item may require simple assembly. **Please allow up to 3-4 weeks for delivery.

    Specifications – Dimensions: Full Size- 31-1/2″H, 82-3/4″W, 36″D – Style Type: Wood – Materials: Chinese Oak – Color: Nutmeg – Pieces: 1 – Finish: Nutmeg
