Bedroom Furniture by Function - Rattan Furniture

Bedroom furniture can be broken down into one of just a few functions. In a bedroom a person sleeps during the night and gets ready for the day. They may return to the bedroom to change during the course of the day, and they'll certainly show up the next evening to enjoy some well-earned shut eye. So in a room designated for sleeping and changing clothes, what does the furniture do? Those two major purposes are achieved through a variety of furniture that stores clothes, allows someone to view themselves, provides lighting, or miscellaneous storage.

First, we will talk about clothes. Bedrooms can have a variety of methods for storing clothes, from curios to wardrobes to the aptly named dressers. Wardrobes are large enough for you to hang a dress or full length coat in, and they generally take the place of a closet in a room that was not built with one. On the other hand, if you do have a closet, you can now buy organizers for the closet that do everything from rotate shoes or ties, to provide handy cubbyholes for different items. Dressers have a series of drawers for folded clothing, and curios are similar to dressers, only with a showier feel to them, they normally have glass doors to let you see inside them.

Above a dresser or low curio you will normally find another staple of bedroom furniture: the mirror. A mirror assists in the primary waking function of the bedroom, preparing your appearance to be suitable for the outside world. Mirrors at their simplest are a piece of glass with a silver backing, and the oldest glass mirrors actually used real silver or copper to create the reflection. Today the most common practice is to apply an extremely thin layer of aluminum to the backside of a mirror in order to produce the reflection.

Between dressers and mirrors, the business-side of a waking bedroom is taken care of. Of course there is the less rigorously defined leisure time to consider, and this is handled by other pieces, such as the nightstand. A night stand normally holds odds and ends a person may need before they leave the bed: glasses, pain medicine, or an alarm clock. It can also hold beside reading, and a lamp to read by.

This brings us to the most massive piece of furniture in the average bedroom, and the room's namesake: the bed. A bed is a place to relax at the end of the day and fall asleep. The first beds were piled animal furs that kept the ancient nomadic people warm at night. As we settled down into sedentary communities, we lifted the bed off the ground and created the mattress. The first mattress fillings were either bird feathers (for the rich) or straw/hay/reeds (for those well off enough for a bed, but not rich enough to afford a featherbed). The advent of machinery gave rise to spring coil mattresses, which supported weight better than either of the other options. Today, we have even more advanced forms of bed filling, from space-aged memory foam to heat sensitive gels. You can even fill your bed with water if you desire. As the centerpiece of the room, the bed is what designers 'plan around' when they see if different pieces of bedroom furniture work together. If you plan to design your own bedroom, it is the first choice you should finalize.
