Bedroom Talk
Good bedroom furniture?
I just signed an apartment lease and I'm moving in. Cool, but I have more than enough storage for everything I need so my bedroom looks like it's just going to have a bed in it. I don't want to look like I couldn't afford furniture, but since all my clothes fit in my closet (as do my shoes, and coats, and extra blankets), I don't need a dresser. I don't need a vanity, and I don't need a shelving unit, chest of drawers, or desk (that's in my living room) I'm low maintenance, so I don't want loads of furniture for decoration, but since I want my bed in the corner, my room is gonna look...sad. I have enough seating in my living room, and that's nice and cosy, so adding a seating are in my room seems pointless (no TV in the bedroom is my rule). What's a girl to do? What would you put in an underfurnished bedroom? My bedroom is 13 x 12 ft, if it helps...

- You still might a dresser for you undies. Maybe a mirror and some pictures. Get some nightstands for lamps and clocks. Put you bed in the middle and make something out of it. You might want a chair to put your shoes on. Draw a lot of attention to the bed. Go to hgtv.com to get more inspiration. Roxanne
- You basically will have a Zen bedroom. For it to not feel so empty try putting a 5 x 8 rug at the end of the bed anchored by the legs of the bed. Then put a bench seat at the end of the bed on top of the rug. It does come in handy for a place to sit to put on socks and shoes. What about a night stand next to the bed with a lamp on it? Another idea is to put a sofa table across the room with decor or symbolic things on it of places you want to visit, things you find beautiful to look at, that have some meaning to you. These are things that may be the first thing you look at when you wake up. It's a nice way to start the morning, seeing something pleasing to the eye. It doesn't have to be cluttered looking just well placed. What about a few plants. Either free standing in large pots or get plant stands to put them on. Greenery is nice in a room.
