1. What furniture do I need in the bedroom?
A bed is essential in any bedroom. If you want a comfortable bed that will serve you well for a long time, the mattress matters. Investing in a quality mattress can be worthwhile. The German manufacturer muun makes high-quality comfort mattresses in Germany. One distinctive feature is that each mattress offers four different comfort levels.
You will need smart storage to keep your belongings organised. First, think about what you want to store in your bedroom. You will need a wardrobe for clothes, shoes, towels and bed linen, shelving for books and perhaps a chest of drawers for toiletries and other small items. The Reflect sideboard by Muuto has a practical cable outlet. In general, closed storage creates a calmer look. A small shelf, such as the Pocket wall shelf by String, is a good place to display personal items. Would you like to show off a few favourite clothes? Take a look at our coat racks.
A bedside table next to your bed is useful, too. It gives you a place for books or an alarm clock. A bedside table with a door or drawers can store extra books and small items that do not have another home. In other words, it can be a surprisingly practical piece of furniture.

A valet stand is useful for scarves, shirts and blouses. These bedroom furnishings keep clothes and accessories close to hand, while their understated design fits neatly into the room. Valet stands by Mox and ClassiCon combine considered design with an elegant look.
If you have enough space, you could create a small seating area in your bedroom. A chair or armchair can also provide a handy place to set things down. Add a small side table and finish the corner with an attractive table or floor lamp.
2. Designer bedroom furniture for small rooms
Furnishing a small bedroom need not be a problem. The right furniture can make the room feel surprisingly tidy. Choose multifunctional pieces with an understated design, and make use of the space under the bed. Storage baskets and boxes can keep seasonal clothes out of sight, along with items you do not need every day, such as bed linen, towels, a sleeping bag or personal belongings without another place to go. The space above the door is ideal for a small shelf for books or storage boxes. Manufacturers such as Müller Möbelwerkstätten make beds with built-in storage. The Müller Stapelliege is a classic space-saving design that can quickly be converted into a double bed when needed. Two tips for small bedrooms: choose taller rather than deeper furniture to make the room feel more spacious, and use mirrors to create a sense of space.
3. Quality matters: designer furniture for a healthier room climate
Your sleep and general wellbeing can be affected by the room climate. Bedroom furniture plays a part: some varnishes can release chemicals, while solid-wood furniture can help filter the air. The open-pore surface of natural wood can absorb certain pollutants and improve air quality. At Connox, we pay particular attention to the quality of the materials used and carefully select our furniture accordingly.
4. Bedroom furniture: solid wood and other materials
Materials help define the character of a room. Wooden furniture creates a grounded feel, while stainless steel and glass can look cooler. Innovative materials such as plastic give a room a modern, futuristic feel. Combining materials can add variety to your interior.
5. Design and shape of bedroom furniture
Furnishing a bedroom is easier when the furniture suits your needs and style. If you prefer minimalism, choose clean-lined pieces and limit the mix of materials. Country-style bedroom furniture often uses wood and organic details, making it a good choice for a more romantic look. In general, the simpler the shapes, the calmer the room feels and the easier it is to coordinate the furniture.
6. White or dark bedroom furniture
White bedroom furniture can make a room feel more spacious and is easy to combine with other white pieces or natural wood. If you have a coloured wall, white furniture creates a bright, clean contrast. Dark bedroom furniture gives a room a more rugged, industrial feel and works well with metallic accessories. Tip: place dark furniture against a pastel-coloured wall to soften the contrast between light and dark. The wall colour gives the room its own character. Prefer stronger contrasts? Pair dark bedroom furniture with a white wall and carry the contrast through to your decorations.
7. How should I arrange the furniture?
The bed is often the largest piece of furniture in a bedroom, so start by choosing where to put it. Ideally, you should be able to see the door from your bed. Studies suggest that this arrangement can ease your instinct to flee and help you sleep better. Next, decide where to place the wardrobe, the second-largest piece. Make sure its doors and drawers can open without hitting anything. If you have a chest of drawers, position it next. Smaller items, such as shelves, are more flexible and can be added last. Place the bedside table next to the bed. In a small room with sloping ceilings, start by positioning the wardrobe.
