All About White Bedroom Sets

A white bedroom set always looks impressive. But many are scared off by the soiled furniture, the need for regular cleaning. Is it really?

White is a noble and versatile color. It goes well with almost the entire palette, any decor and accessories. At the same time, white has a lot of shades (from warm to cold), so it cannot be called boring. It is calm, does not overload the psyche and is great for the bedroom.

A white bedroom set will look great in a room of any size. The shade visually makes the furniture larger than its actual size, thereby expanding the space. Glossy surfaces and built-in mirrors do this especially well.

If the bedroom is made in bright colors, then the white furniture will look spectacular, stand out against the general background, without overloading the eyes. A light headset will fit well into a dark interior, again playing with contrast and a magnificent appearance.

It may seem that the white headset is too easily soiled. But on the light gray and vibrant colors of the palette, dirt and splashes are also noticeable. Even on a black headset, smudged dust stands out perfectly. Therefore, it cannot be said that the white headset is more easily soiled and will have to be cleaned more often - just like the rest.

Another concern from buyers is whether a white bedroom will look sterile. Firstly, white has a lot of shades, for example, baked milk, cream or ivory are the least associated with a hospital ward. Secondly, walls can give this effect if the shade and lighting are incorrectly selected, but not furniture.

Lighting for a bedroom with a white suite, in general, should be selected carefully. If it is yellow, then the furniture itself visually acquires a yellow tint. Or at the other extreme, cold lighting: in combination with certain whites, it can cause discomfort.

Typically, bedroom furniture consists of a bed, bedside tables and a wardrobe. This is a basic set that can be expanded. Extended equipment comes with a TV stand, a coffee or dressing table, a chest of drawers, padded poufs and a bench. In some cases, the headset may include a desk, armchair, or lounger.

The most important element of the headset is the bed. Width varies from 140 to 200 cm. Headsets are not always with double beds. There are options for teens and singles. The bed in the bedroom is the central place, and along with the wardrobe, it occupies a large area of ​​the room. Its design can be the predominant one for the whole interior.

Legged models look lighter. Deaf people, on the contrary, are more cumbersome and solid. But they have additional storage space, because under the mattress you can hide seasonal clothes or extra pillows with blankets. There is so much space under the bed that you can even free up a whole wardrobe.Beds can have their own built-in storage systems, such as drawers.

If the bed is turned with its head towards the window, you can pay attention to models with a high solid headboard. They protect well from drafts, sunlight, and if you turn them towards the rest of the room, they will act as a natural screen. If the owner prefers to read in bed before going to bed, you can consider models with a soft headboard, on which it is pleasant to lean back.

The wardrobe is the second most important. It can have a classic rectangular shape, be angular, be built-in or be a full-fledged dressing room. Everything depends on the layout of the room, its size and the needs of the owner.

Ladies will be especially delighted with a full dressing table. If space does not allow, you can limit yourself to a chest of drawers. Tubes with care products and other beauty items will perfectly fit on its surface. It also perfectly replaces a TV stand, because it can easily accommodate a TV or other equipment, such as a stereo system.

A bedroom set can be combined by facades and look like a single corner, that is, these are not necessarily separate pieces of furniture. The result is a single wall into which the head of the bed sinks. If the headset is modular, they can be easily rearranged so that the current layout looks as organic as possible.

The main material used for the manufacture of the headset is fiberboard. Allocate MDF and chipboard. MDF is more environmentally friendly and safer, since paraffin and lignin are used for its manufacture. Plates are more durable than chipboard, more durable, but the cost is higher.

For the production of chipboard, formaldehyde resins are used, which are very toxic. Plates are carefully varnished so that no harmful vapors are released, but many consumers are still afraid.

Also, furniture is made from solid wood. The tree is environmentally friendly, safe and hypoallergenic, has a beautiful texture. It can be stained, bleached, painted, varnished or polished. The quality and cost depend on the type of wood used. For example, a set made of oak will cost more than a set of pine. Among the disadvantages, one can single out the high cost.

The bed and some elements of the headset can be made of metal. The forged headboard and legs look beautiful and weightless. Furniture can also have chrome surfaces and metal fittings.

Facades of cabinets and pedestals can be made of plastic. This modern material is absolutely environmentally friendly and has high biological stability. At the same time, it is quite durable, unpretentious in care and cheap.

Glossy facades look sophisticated and high-status. They perfectly reflect light, visually expand the space. But at the same time they are easily soiled: fingerprints are clearly visible even on a white background. If the family has small children, it is more practical to purchase a headset with a matte finish.

The head of the bed, as well as part of the headset, can be covered with leather, eco-leather and fabric. A leather headboard looks luxurious, but natural material is the most expensive option. Used in luxury headsets. A more affordable option is eco-leather. This is an artificial material - cotton covered with polyurethane.

Of the textiles for upholstery, the following are most often used:

• velor - optimal for upholstery of complex furniture structures, fleecy, pleasant to the touch, resistant to dirt and color fading;
• furniture mat - made of natural fiber (silk, cotton, linen, wool), resistant to wiping, breathable, environmentally friendly;
• chenille - velvety fabric, depending on the source material, it can be natural (cotton) or synthetic (polyester);
• flock - an inexpensive synthetic material that is resistant to pet claws, easy to clean;
• microfiber is a synthetic fabric made of polyester and nylon, easy to clean, has antifungal properties.

White color is combined with almost the entire color palette. It is important to remember that the bedroom is a place to relax, and therefore calm shades should be chosen so as not to excite the nervous system. For example, white is chicly combined with red, emphasizing the bright shade favorably. But the nervous system will not relax in such an interior.

The most successful combination of white will be with purple, brown, beige, blue or gray. If the bedroom is female, it will look great in pale pink colors.

If the walls are light, then in combination with white furniture, the interior will seem light, spacious and airy. If the walls are dark, then the bedroom set will especially stand out, seem even whiter. At the same time, the black and white bedroom interior looks noble and strict.

It is important to select the design of a bedroom set for a given style solution so that the whole ensemble looks harmonious.

The most luxurious set will be made in the Baroque style. These are palace chic, splendor, carriage coupler, complex decorative elements, relief patterns. Inserts and fittings can be made in gold, copper or silver. An exquisite headboard is a must. Such a set is designed for a spacious room.

The classic is a little more modest. This is necessarily wood, carved details, deep colors, light, warm shades, clear straight lines and elegance in everything. The neoclassical style is more modern, less chic, but at the same time laconic.

Modern - simple, strict forms, mirrors, glass, interesting fittings. There may be a mixture of different historical styles or elements.

Provence, country and Scandinavian styles are somewhat similar. Furniture made of light or bleached wood is suitable for them, it is possible with the effect of antiquity.

The ethnic style set has dark wood shades, spectacular leather textures. There may be various decorative elements inherent in a particular culture.

Minimalism is the most common classic. The headsets have smooth matte surfaces, simple rectangular shapes, and there is no pronounced texture.

When choosing furniture, you should start from the layout of the bedroom. If the room is large and spacious, then there should be no special problems with the choice. It's another matter if it is non-standard, for example: narrow or mansard type. The problem also arises with small-sized rooms, because in a limited space you need to place the most practical pieces of furniture, observing a certain level of comfort.

The room must be measured and an approximate plan for the location of the furniture must be drawn up. You should start with the bed, which is installed with the headboard against the wall to free up the aisles.

If the room is under a roof, the sleeping place should be located under a flat ceiling or at the highest point. In places where the roof slopes, it is advisable to place a chest of drawers, low cabinets or a work area. If the room is narrow, it is better to refuse bedside tables. They can be replaced with hinged shelves at the headboard.

For small rooms, it is recommended to choose narrow or corner cabinets. They are quite roomy and "take away" less free space. Sliding wardrobes are indispensable for narrow aisles, since they do not need a place to open the doors.
