Your bedroom should feel like a dreamy oasis where you can unwind after a long day. Unfortunately, common issues like clutter, low-quality mattresses and over-stimulating lighting can prevent your bedroom from being anywhere close to a rejuvenating space. At Reid’s Fine Furnishings, we are here to help solve all your design dilemmas and so you can enjoy the bedroom of your dreams! Here are 4 practical ways to make your bedroom more comfortable:
1. Invest in a quality bed frame and mattress
It might seem obvious, but a comfortable bedroom is founded upon a quality bed that suits your needs. You use your bed every night – so it is worth investing in a well-made bedframe and mattress. We recommend solid wood bedframes to ensure your bed is supported by a sturdy foundation. Plus, solid wood gives a beautiful and timeless look that can pair well with any design style. American manufacturers like Stickley, CR Laine, Copeland and Gat Creek all make excellent, solid wood bed frames in every size, style and finish imaginable.
For your mattress, be mindful about the materials and construction used, as this will determine the longevity and health of the mattress. Cheap springs, unsupportive foam and chemical-laden materials are prevalent in the mass-produced mattress market. At Reid’s, we carry quality mattresses made right here in Virginia by Winndom. We also offer wonderful, supportive mattresses made by Stressless in Norway. We are confident that we can help you find a mattress that is beneficial for your sleep and your overall health!
Once you’ve invested in a luxurious bedframe and mattress, be sure to style it with quality bedding and pillows for beautifully finished look. We carry lovely comforters, duvets and shams in stunning fabrics that are sure to make your bed look as good as it feels! Visit our showroom today to learn more.
2. Include accent chairs or an upholstered bench for practical and comfortable seating
Creating a comfortable place to sit is often overlooked when planning out a bedroom. Incorporating one or two comfy chairs or recliners is great for a reading or sitting with a cup of tea before bed. We absolutely love the comfortable swivel gliders made by CR Laine for this type of space! With tons of stylish fabrics to choose from, a swivel glider is a great way to add interest and comfort to your bedroom. If you don’t have enough space for a chair, then an upholstered bench at the foot of the bed is a stylish alternative that can offer a place to sit while dressing.
3. Storage, storage, storage
There is nothing that disrupts the tranquility of a space more than clutter. Subsequently, it is critical that your bedroom has enough storage pieces to keep items like clothes, shoes and linens organized. At Reid’s Fine Furnishings, our manufacturers offer a variety of dressers, armoires and chests in every style, size and finish imaginable. Our team can assess the needs of your space to help you find the best pieces for maximizing the storage capacity of your bedroom. Plus, we also carry several bedframes that can be ordered as storage beds, allowing for extra drawers that won’t take up additional space in the overall footprint of the room.
4. Create a soothing space with ambient lighting
Finally, take careful consideration of the lighting in your bedroom. Cold, bright lights work against your circadian rhythm and prevent your brain from entering “sleep mode.” Instead, opt for warm, ambient lighting through a few table lamps and floor lamps. Small accent lights like stained glass lanterns are also a great way to add a pop of color while offering soothing, soft light. The wonderful thing about lamps is that they can be just as stylish as they are practical! Find lighting that compliments the style and colors of your space for a beautifully designed look. Our showroom has a vast variety of lighting on display – so we are sure to have the perfect lamps for your room!
