What bedroom company, what style, how much?

There is a variety of different types of bedroom furniture. Some can be cheap and cheerful and others can be more expensive and bespoke to your needs. Firstly, you have to decide what bedroom furniture your need - A bed side table? Mirror / wooden wardrobe? Dressing table? Or another piece of furniture?

Ask yourself 4 questions, this will help establish exactly what you are looking for:

Question 1: How quickly do you need the furniture?
Question 2: What quality should the furniture be?
Question 3: How much are you willing to spend?
Question 4: Do you want to customise your bedroom furniture?

Bedroom Furniture Option 1
Flat pack furniture – You can buy flat pack furniture from a various number of well known outlets – IKEA and Argos, to name a couple. You receive the furniture and assemble it yourself. Some retailers will build the furniture for you but this can cost extra. The furniture can also be purchased from a catalogue or direct from the store.

Pros: Furniture is cheaper than other options. The quality is generally OK and can be purchase quickly from local retailers

Cons: The furniture cannot be customised to your own design taste (different colour etc) and will not be build into your bedroom i.e. freestanding.

Bedroom Furniture Option 2
A high street fitted bedroom – Most fitted bedroom and sliding wardrobe companies will integrate your bedroom furniture into your room and allow you to choose the material from a list. You can choose the design from a range of bedroom ‘sets’ which will represent the range on offer to you. The set you choose would be fitted to your room and fully integrated.

Pros: Bedroom furniture is better quality than flat pack

Cons: Furniture will take weeks to order, deliver and assemble, can sometimes be very expensive if using the wrong company and you can’t customise the bedroom furniture.

Bedroom Furniture Option 3
A bespoke bedroom – bedroom furniture which is completely customisable and fitted to the room specification. The difference between choosing option 2 or 3 is with 3 you make the decisions, you can fully design or change an bedroom style to suit your taste.

Pros: Bedroom furniture is better quality than flat pack, completely customisable, fully integrated, same price as high street brands (if not cheaper) and uses excellent quality materials.

Cons: Furniture will take weeks to order, deliver and assemble, can sometimes be very expensive if using the wrong company and you can’t customise the bedroom furniture.

When you purchase your bedroom furniture have an idea of what you want, have a price in mind and shop around.

You can really find value in smaller, lesser known companies who can customise your bedroom furniture and mirror doors to your design & personal standards.

P.s. I welcome your thoughts back on this article; anybody with good or bad experiences with fitted bedroom furniture please feel free to share your experience. Also, I should mention, if you don’t mind quality, customisation or want to spend a lot of money then I can recommend charity shops, such as the Salvation Army who provide a very worthwhile service.
