Bedroom Furniture That Will Not Let You Leave Your Bed



The bedroom is your sanctuary for rest and relaxation, so it makes sense to buy high-quality furniture. The right bedroom furniture is so comfortable and stylish that it makes you never want to leave your bed any more. Probably the best place to look for this type of bedroom furniture with the widest selection is online, from retailers that specialize in modern furniture. This way, you can explore a range of contemporary bedroom pieces, platform beds, modern furniture, and Japanese beds that can help you create a harmonious look and relaxing design for your bedroom.

Japanese beds are among the bedroom furniture pieces that you should consider. Their simplicity goes well with traditional and modern interior designs, and they are comfortable, too, especially when you invest in a high-quality mattress or futon. A  Japanese tatami bed creates a look of modern bedroom furniture with a traditional flair, and can be a great choice that is also easy on the budget.  Alternatively, you can consider a version of the Tatami bed with a headboard as many are available without a headboard in a traditional Japanese style.


Platform beds are perfect for an elegant and stylish space. Some platform beds have a low profile, maintaining clean and smooth lines that can give a neat and orderly look even to a small room. Some platform beds come with storage facilities, too, so you can minimize clutter and make sure that the things you store under your bed are neat, orderly, and will not attract dust. These types of bedroom furniture are perfect for rooms where space is an issue.

If you have a large room, and you want to define your sleeping area, consider adding a Shoji screen or a bamboo room divider. High-quality Shoji screens are made of opaque rice paper and kiln dried hardwood. The paper is specially blended to allow light to diffuse and create a soft ambient glow, but without revealing too much of what is in the other side. Bamboo divider screens will add a sense of privacy to your sleeping area.

Choosing Your Perfect Solid Wood Platform Beds with Storage




You have probably heard experts say that a solid wood platform bed is always worth the extra money—and they are right. Why should you choose solid wood, you might ask? The answer can be summed up in three words: durability, style, and function.

Solid wood platform beds are more expensive, but they also last for decades. They are certainly excellent investments if you are looking for a ‘forever’ bed that will serve you for a lifetime. Unlike cheaper beds that are made using particle boards covered in veneer, solid wood can withstand humidity, moisture, and temperature fluctuations. Particle board beds are known to expand and separate from their veneer coating. This won’t happen with a solid wood platform bed.

Cheaper particle board beds are also notorious for falling apart because of the weak anchoring for the nails or screws. You won’t have the same problem when you buy a platform bed frame made of solid wood. Additionally, painted particle-board platforms tend to scratch over time. This will not happen with solid wood that has been properly finished to be scratch resistant.



Solid wood platform beds are also very stylish and timeless. Their sleek and elegant lines complement any type of interior décor theme. They work extremely well in smaller spaces because they are not bulky. They are also very comfortable to sleep on. Some of the best platform beds feature solid mahogany wood construction and a solid wood slat upon which the mattress will rest. The slat system lets air circulate within your mattress and frame, thereby creating a much healthier sleeping environment.

To enjoy the dual functionality, choose solid wood platform beds with storage underneath. The drawers should be sturdy and easy to slide. They should be big enough to store items such as extra bed sheets, extra pillows, the books and magazines you read before bed time, and even the remote control.
