Choosing a king size bedroom set involves more than simply picking the first one you see. Here are nine key factors to consider to ensure your bedroom set king is both beautiful and built to last:
1. Assess the Materials
The material of your bedroom set determines its durability, look, and feel. Common materials include:
- Solid Wood: Timeless and sturdy, solid wood like oak, mahogany, or cherry ensures longevity and can be refinished to extend its life.
- Engineered Wood: A more budget-friendly option, engineered wood like MDF can still deliver quality if paired with a durable veneer.
- Metal: Ideal for modern or industrial designs, metal offers durability and a sleek aesthetic.
- Upholstery: Upholstered headboards or bed frames add softness and sophistication but require careful maintenance to avoid staining or wear.
Choosing the right material depends on your personal style, maintenance preferences, and budget. For example, solid wood is excellent for traditional spaces, while upholstered designs suit contemporary and glam aesthetics.
2. Consider the Pieces Included
King bedroom sets come in various configurations. A standard set typically includes:
- A king bed frame (with or without a headboard and footboard)
- One or two nightstands
- A dresser and/or chest of drawers
Larger sets might also include a mirror, bench, or additional storage pieces. Think about the size of your bedroom and your storage needs when selecting a set. If space is limited, prioritize multifunctional pieces like dressers with built-in jewelry drawers or nightstands with charging ports.
3. Match the Style to Your Space
Your king size bedroom furniture set should complement your overall bedroom décor. Here are some popular design styles to consider:
- Traditional: Look for ornate carvings, curved silhouettes, and rich wood finishes like cherry or walnut.
- Modern: Sleek lines, neutral tones, and minimalist designs define modern sets.
- Farmhouse: Distressed finishes and rustic wood textures lend a cozy, welcoming vibe.
- Glam: Upholstered beds with tufted details, mirrored accents, and metallic finishes exude luxury.
At Idler’s, we carry a variety of styles to suit any taste, and our team is happy to help you find the perfect match for your home.
4. Prioritize Comfort and Functionality
A king bedroom set should make your life easier, not more complicated. Look for features that enhance convenience, such as:
- Storage Beds: Beds with built-in drawers or under-bed storage are perfect for maximizing space.
- USB Ports and Outlets: Nightstands with built-in charging stations keep your devices powered and organized.
- Ergonomic Designs: Ensure the bed height and storage piece dimensions fit your needs for comfort and accessibility.
5. Choose a Reputable Brand
When investing in a large purchase like a king bedroom set, quality matters. Established brands like Benchcraft, homestyles, Millennium, and Signature Design by Ashley are known for their craftsmanship and style variety. At Idler’s, we carefully curate our selection to include trusted brands that deliver exceptional value and durability.
6. Measure Your Space
Before buying, measure your bedroom to ensure your new furniture will fit comfortably. Remember to leave space for walking paths and doors or drawers to open fully. A king bed requires ample room (a clearance of at least 30 to 36 inches around your bed), so be mindful of how the set will work with your room layout.
7. Set Your Budget
King bedroom sets range widely in price, from budget-friendly options to high-end designer collections. Knowing your budget beforehand will help narrow your choices without compromising quality. At Idler’s, we offer financing options to make your dream bedroom more affordable.
8. Test Before You Buy
Whenever possible, visit a showroom to see the bedroom set in person. Touch the materials, test the drawers, and sit on the bed to assess comfort and sturdiness. If you’re shopping online, rely on detailed product descriptions and customer reviews to guide your decision.
9. Think Long-Term
A king bedroom set is an investment, so choose one that will suit your lifestyle and taste for years to come. Neutral finishes and classic designs often age better than bold trends, ensuring your set remains stylish over time.
