Everyone knows the ideal bedroom must be comfortable, with good lighting, warmth and most importantly, good quality furniture.
Every year, a new trend takes precedence over other and this year’s popular trends include:

Bold textures and colours

Consumers are welcoming colour into their bedrooms and one of the popular shades is Marsala, Pantone’s colour of the year. Other popular hues include shades of yellow and orange. In terms of introducing texture into the bedroom, it’s in the form of rugs, throws and cushions. Other ways to add a bit of drama is through painted feature walls or wooden panels as headboards.

Bringing the outdoors in

Australian’s love the outdoors, and this year the move has been towards bringing the outdoors inside-a popular decorating preference for living rooms. The great thing about this trend is that it works extremely well regardless of how the rest of the house looks.

You can incorporate this trend however much or little you want. As a starting point, look at adding some potted plants in the bedroom. For a little more drama use lager features pot plants. It you want the look but not the effort of taking care of living plants, go for artificial ones instead or use statement artwork.

Simple and minimalistic

Minimalism has always been popular. Achieving that clean and crisp look especially in the bedroom is easy with the right pieces, hues and arrangement. This year, white furniture has come into place in various finishes and shades. Furniture with straight, clean lines has been the preference over more loud pieces. Leather and timber have been the most popular material choices when it comes to bedroom furniture.
People love the idea of keeping it simple. This style is easy to maintain and change as you can add a few other accent pieces to spruce it up.

Start by de cluttering the place and adding furniture that doubles as storage to help keep the room in order.

Choosing the proper bed height

Age, Height, Mobility and Personal Preference

Comfortable height for a bed frame, box spring and mattress will vary from person to person. Taller people may prefer a taller bed, whereas shorter people may have difficulty getting into and out of a tall bed. Those with limited mobility may need to have a taller bed that allows their feet to reach the floor and lets them sit on the edge without having to squat deeply. Others may require a shorter bed to make it easier to reach the floor in order to prevent slips and falls. For infants, the mattress height must be set according to the height of the crib rails for safety. The top rail of a crib should be 26 inches from the bottom of a 6-inch-thick mattress for children under 35 inches tall.

Factors to Consider

There are several heights to consider when choosing a bed and bedding components. The height between the bed frame and the floor determines how much space you will have underneath the bed for storage. The height of the frame, the thickness of the mattress and thickness of the box springs add together to give the full height of the bed. Any one or all three of these components can be manipulated to adjust the bed height for comfort or to coordinate with use of other bedroom furnishings.

Types of Beds

Standard metal bed frames usually measure 7 1/2 inches, while lowboy frames measure 4 1/2 inches high. Standard box springs range from 8 to 9 inches tall, but they can be found in depths as small as 4 to 4 1/2 inches. Old fashioned beds such as Victorian or Queen Anne beds range from 5 inches to 14 inches off the floor, offering a great deal of space, but also raising the height of the combined bedding components. Because futons must serve as both couch and bed, they have a height of approximately 10 inches between floor and frame. Platform beds are low-slung, with heights varying from 4 to 18 inches from the floor.

Alternative Beds

Loft beds and bunk beds often come with adjustable frames to allow for varying mattress heights and headroom preferences. Loft beds adjust to provide headroom both above and below the sleeping platform. The typical measurement for headroom above the mattress is 30 inches, according to College Bed Lofts.com. The amount of room required will vary depending on ceiling height, mattress thickness and the height of the user. Adjustable-height beds are constructed to allow the mattress to be raised or lowered to better accommodate the user. For example, the Manual Homecare Bed may be adjusted to heights from 16 to 24 1/2 inches. Beds of this type are often used for disabled persons or those under medical care.

Quality bed-makers, the majority of which appear to be British, give sound guidance on this and have the ability to offer a bed mattress to fit every weight of person and habit of rest (side, back, belly). But the variety of beds and array of prices can be puzzling.
So too is the reality that practically every bed has a royal title, nevertheless economical it is. Even Ikea has a Sultan. However no one ought to be so awed by a duchess or an empress that they can’t ask exactly what she is packed with and exactly how well she is created. An unrefined bed will offer gyp for less than 10 years; a quality bed will support comfortably for 30. Investing thousands on a good bed can be the healthiest financial investment of our lives.
