Ways To Make A Bedroom Set

Matching your furniture in color is an easy way to create a bedroom set.


To create a calm, soothing space for your bedroom, it is important to have a sense of balance between the various elements in the room. Matching furniture plays a significant role because it creates a unified look. There are several ways to put together attractive bedroom sets, depending on the look that you prefer and your budget, so your room feels like a complete space.


Pre-Assembled








To make sure that your bedroom furniture matches, one solution is to purchase a pre-assembled set from a furniture store. Many stores offer collections of furniture items that are coordinated to work together in terms of material, color and style. While the collection may contain a headboard, dresser, armoire, bedside tables and a dressing table, you can choose the items you need. Purchasing a pre-made set takes the guesswork out of choosing bedroom furniture, but it may be more costly to buy all items from one store.


Same Material


A simple way to put together a set of bedroom furniture on your own is to choose items that are made from the same material. If you like wood furniture, choose a bed frame, dresser and nightstands that are all made from the same species, such as pine, oak, walnut or mahogany. Wicker and bamboo are attractive options, as well. If they are stained in similar colors, they present a unified look. You may also opt for a wrought iron bed frame and nightstands. Even if they don't have the same design, the fact that they are the same material creates a complementary look. Laminate is a budget-friendly option for bedroom furniture, and you can find a headboard, dresser and nightstand in the material for a matching look.


Same Color


If you prefer to mix materials for your bedroom furniture, you can still create a set for the space by using items that are the same color. With the exception of laminate, furniture materials are easy to paint. Wrought iron and wicker are especially easy since they accept spray paint. You can spray wood as well, but because it is an absorbent material, you may create an uneven finish. Applying paint with a brush produces the best results on wood. Laminate furniture is available in many shades, so a laminate dresser or bookcase can be coordinated with painted items in the bedroom.


Same Style


Another way to create a unified bedroom set is to find furniture pieces that have the same style. You may opt for the simple, clean lines of Mission style furniture or go with the ornate design of Victorian style. Many furniture styles are available, so you should be able to find an option that appeals to you. Even if you choose items that are made from different materials or are slightly different colors, their similar lines and decorative details help create a cohesive look for a bedroom.
