- Determine your budget.
- Measure your space to see what pieces
you can accommodate.
- A well-equipped bedroom generally
consists of a bed, a nightstand or two, a dresser or chest and a mirror.
Many of today's bedrooms feature an armoire, too.
- The bed is generally the focal point of
the bedroom so you'll probably want to select it first.
- When shopping for pieces that aren't
upholstered, such as dressers, chests and tables (known as "casegood" in
the furniture speak), find out what they are made of – is it hardwood or
softwood? Quality pieces are available in both hard and soft woods.
- With any wood pieces, an examination of
the construction will reveal a lot about the quality. Lift a corner.
Does it feel heavy and sturdy? Check out the corners. Do they feel
strong and secure?
- Open and shut the drawers. Do they open
and close easily? Do they fit snugly? You want to make sure they don't
sag.
- Examine the finish of the piece. The
finish should be smooth, without cracks or bubbles.
- Check the hardware, e.g. handles and
pulls – they should be secure and strong with no rough or sharp edges.
- And after you've made your major
furniture selections, remember to add accessories, such as lamps, photo
frames, rugs and wall décor.
- Most importantly, enjoy yourself.
