Bedroom

A bed, nightstands and a dresser are the essential pieces of bedroom furniture. To determine what size bed is right for your room, consider your space in addition to your comfort: 24 inches of space around the bed allows you to walk around and make the bed. Learn how to mix and match and choose the right size beds and nightstands with our guide How to Pair a Bed & Nightstand, or browse our mattresses and learn How to Choose a Mattress.

Your bedroom furniture doesn’t need to match; you can mix different styles and finishes. To mix and match bedroom furniture styles while maintaining a cohesive look, try choosing the same colors across multiple pieces. To mix and match wood furniture in a bedroom, try choosing the same wood species for all your pieces, or combine different species but stick to all cool tones or all warm tones. When combining different wood finishes in your bedroom furniture, start by visiting our guide How to Mix Wood Tones to see what we consider warm and cool wood tones.

Dressers and armoires are the best bedroom storage solutions for a clutter-free bedroom. These pieces offer closed storage to help keep your space tidy. You can layer in even more storage by choosing storage benches or nightstands with storage, beds with hidden drawers, bookcases or shelves. Learn everything you need to know with our guide Bedroom Storage Ideas.

The best way to arrange bedroom furniture for a functional layout is to place the foot of your bed facing your door with nightstands on both sides of your bed. Place your dresser where it won’t block access to your bed or door, and center it on a wall or center it on your bed for the most visually pleasing placement. Beyond this basic layout, there are many ways to arrange bedroom furniture. Use our free design services to start envisioning all the options for your space.
