Matching furniture and furnishings with your brown colored walls

1.      If your walls were painted with dark tones of brown, adopt the light tones of brown with your fixtures and decorations such as your area rug, photo frames and lamp shades and vice versa.

6.      Soft and smooth are those that made use of velvet materials as well as these cultivate a comforting appeal, particularly if the fabric has floral designs.  Citrus yellow bed covers will complement the walls well.

Bedroom Lamps and Fixtures for Reading



Serving as our recluse is our bedroom.  One activity that some of us do before falling in deep slumber is read in which the question of having appropriate lights in the bedroom comes to mind.    


Headboard lamp gives appropriate amount of illumination without bothering to stand up from your bed.  It is near you and within easy reach.


Transportable reading lights set on nightstands offer extensibility allowing you to adjust it in any position that you want.  Ensure that the bulb is properly shielded to avoid disturbing your partner.

Here are the best lighting fixtures for reading in the bedroom.


Brushed Steel Double Arm Lamps are skillfully designed, it provides appropriate lighting while reading.   Arms are adjustable to any angle saving your from doing lots of body movements.   It must be installed on your bedroom wall outlet with a distance of 6 feet.


Clip lamp provides more convenience as it can be positioned anywhere.   It requires no professional in mounting it, as you can easily install it yourself on your bed’s headboard. 


Table Lamps are usually placed on a bedside table or nightstand but should be a little at the back of your head and near the wall. 




Wall sconce lamp is another lighting fixture alternative; install it on the wall to avoid any shadows.




However, with a partner in the bedroom, you need to make adjustments.  Ensure that lighting fixtures will not awaken the other person.  Test the light first prior to finally buying it.   




Get a small table lamp and place it on your side of the bed to take the glow out from your partner.  Make sure that the lamp can be angled where the reader is. 




You can also make use of a 3-way or 2-way bulb floor lamp.  To decrease the intensity of the lights, place a wall ornament just above the reader.  This will direct the light to the reading material instead of to someone.




Finally, make certain that light switches are located at the middle of the headboard.  This will give you ease in turning it off without waking your partner.

Which is Better: King-Sized Bed or Queen-Sized Bed?

="

The most important furniture in a bedroom is a bed. Therefore, the user must be involved when buying his bed, as each one of us has our own requirements. There are different types of bed as well as sizes. Modern beds even come in different forms.

An individual may prefer to have a single bed while another may opt to have a twin bed for his own use. The choice of bed must likewise include the dimension of the room.

="

Nevertheless, a couple would need a bigger bed. They have two options, the twin, queen or king-sized beds. A twin bed may give a couple just enough space for sleeping but not much if they move while asleep. It can be very inconvenient for each party especially if one moves a lot while sleeping.

="

In order for couples to have a comfortable sleep, it is recommended that they have the queen-sized or the king-sized bed.

Let us see which of these beds is for you:

="

King-sized Bed

If you are both after to having more than an adequate amount of space, I would suggest you buy yourselves a king-sized bed.

This type of bed had a width of 76 inches and length of 80 inches. A family of four can lie down on it together and laugh, sing or talk to bond and relax.

="

However, you need to have a big room for this type and the door opening must be wide, too.

The king-sized bed will not disturb your partner in case he has arthritis or has an injury. Both of you will get the comfort that you need without worrying of disturbing each other.
People who are plus size can benefit greatly with this type of bed, as they will be more comfortable because of its width.

="

If you want to have more space and feel like a king, then have a king-sized bed in your bedroom.

However, the difficulty of owning this bed is looking for bed linens and blankets.

="

Queen-sized Bed

Couples can also get the queen-sized bed for their bedroom. It is 60 inches wide and 80 inches long but the size actually differs in each country.

It likewise offers adequate space for both giving them the assurance of not disturbing each one. It is actually the most preferred size compared with the king, as the dimension is adequate for most homes and master’s bedroom.

="

Some individuals who want a bigger space in their beds prefer this type of bed although he is the only to use it.

Bed linens and blankets for queen size beds have more selections compared to the king size beds.
Your problem though will still be the space you have in your bedroom. Your bedroom must be able to accommodate its dimension as well as your bedrooms doors must allow its entry.

="

Whatever type of bed you choose, king size, queen size, twin, double or single, the important thing is it will make you comfortable when you lie on it. It will not give you any back pain when you get up in the morning.

Nevertheless, consider your other bedroom furniture when buying your bed. All must complement each other in order to have a nice-looking room.
