Bedroom Furniture Tips

Selecting bedroom furniture will be one of the most important furniture decisions you’ll have to make for your home. Being one of the places you spend a lot of time, you want to create a room that’s functional, stylish and of course comfortable. Your bedroom is the place you start and end your day, so it’s important to create a space that you love being in… Somewhere that will help you to unwind, but equally feel inspired!

So, how do you choose the right bedroom furniture? There are three things you first have to consider – design, function and size. Once you’ve made these big decisions, we take care of the rest. As local furniture manufacturers, we can handcraft anything you have in mind. We’ve been successfully crafting custom bedroom furniture for our customers for over 50 years, so we’ve got plenty of experience in understanding what works. So let’s show you some examples of what we can do…

CUSTOM BEDROOM FURNITURE… WHY NOT?

The furniture selections for your bedroom shouldn’t have to be stock standard, as everyone has such individual requirements. At Nordic Design Furniture, you can fully customise the design of your bedroom furniture so it’s exactly the right fit for you and your space. Let’s break it down so you know exactly what we mean…

DESIGN

Firstly, you have to determine what style you’d like for your bedroom. Is this a room that’s already contemporary or does it ooze traditional charm? And do you want bedroom furniture that will blend in with your space or make a bold statement?

Once you’ve reached this decision, we can start designing your bedroom furniture pieces… And usually the feature piece being your bed. In our showroom, we have a range of bed options for you to see up close… But this is only skimming the surface. Perhaps you love one of our contemporary designs but are drawn to the upholstered headboard of our Gray Bed? Why not combine the two concepts? A beautifully contemporary base, paired with an upholstered headboard for added warmth and luxury. But this is just the beginning…

Maybe the clean lines of the Kenton design are exactly what you’re after, but you’re limited for space? Add some hidden drawers under the base for extra storage… The perfect solution for a smaller room in need of extra storage! And not compromising at all on visual aesthetics.

While these examples spring to mind right away, there are hundreds of other combinations we can create. Plus, we have new bedroom pieces coming through our showroom weekly for you to browse – so why not stop in and gather some inspiration.

And because we predominantly manufacture our bedroom furniture using Australian Hardwood Timbers you’re guaranteed a quality outcome with any selection. Some of our options include Tasmanian Blackwood, Tasmanian Oak, Victorian Mountain Ash, Western Australian Jarrah, Tasmanian Silver Wattle and American Oak. Of course, if you require a specific colour (to match existing furniture pieces) our specialist polishers can closely match tones as well… So you can really have whatever look you desire.

With this selection of timbers you can create bedroom pieces that are either traditional or modern… You can even create a two-tone effect for something in-between if you can’t quite make up your mind.

FUNCTION

In every room of your house, functionality is a key consideration… But particularly in your bedroom. Being able to combine comfort, luxury and storage can seem like a tricky task, but luckily at Nordic Design we’ve had plenty of experience in achieving just that. While size will be the main factor in determining what type of features you can incorporate, don’t be afraid to think outside the box… As mentioned, we can add drawers underneath your bed frame, but we can also include other features. While bedside tables are usually considered ‘less useful’ when it comes to storage and function, we feel there are plenty of worthwhile options to consider. If you’re wanting something minimalist, you can choose bedsides attached to your bed frame, or opt for a bedside that includes a combination of drawers and door for storing various items. Or if useful, we can even include custom drawer dividers to house specialised items.

SIZE

Lastly, but certainly not least, let’s talk about size. We understand that everyone’s bedroom is unique. With little nooks and sometimes-unconventional shapes, you can customise all measurements of your bedroom furniture so it fits just right… Something not easy to find with mass produced items that are readily available.

If your room is small, have your bed sit lower to the ground on a floating base for the illusion of extra space. Alternatively, if you’ve got ample room, opt for a large upholstered headboard (in leather or fabric) for added luxury – the options really are endless.

QUALITY MATERIALS MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE

Of course, the materials used to make your bedroom furniture are essential in ensuring you have a quality product. This is why we pride ourselves on using on premium timbers and upholstery materials, working closely with reputable suppliers throughout Australia. By choosing premium materials means a better look, feel and lifespan of your furniture pieces. Additionally, this is also our point of difference here at Nordic Design, being one of the few furniture manufacturers still using quality materials and crafting techniques.

We see your furniture as an investment, therefore it should withstand many years of enjoyed used. We often see many of our pieces passed down through generations because of this which is very special for us.

BEDROOM STORAGE IS KEY

Consider a freestanding wardrobe, chest of drawers or tallboy… Or all options if you have the space. Our bedroom storage can be made to suit a range of requests and while cabinetry might seem a little intrusive in your bedroom space, it’s something everyone needs… It’s about making it work – and that’s where Nordic Design come in. Explain your needs (or concerns) with us and we can offer adjustments to best accomodate your requirements. Tapered legs for a lighter look, narrower drawers for more of a flush finish, and plenty of internal selections from hanging rails, to shoe racks and jewellery compartments… And we have plenty of images of furniture we’ve made for previous customers which you can browse for inspiration.

If you’re ready to explore options for your new bedroom furniture, why not visit our large Showroom? We’re conveniently located on Magill Road and offer plenty of rear parking. Our experienced and friendly staff would love to assist you in bringing your dream furniture pieces to life.
