Should bedroom furniture be of the same color? What are the requirements for choosing bedroom furniture?

We all know that the selection and matching of furniture is very important. Whether it is the color, style or size, it has a great impact on the decoration effect. In the market, there are many colors of furniture and rich choices. People often don’t know how to match them. So should the colors of bedroom furniture be consistent? Let’s take a closer look!

Should bedroom furniture be the same color?

The colors of bedroom furniture can be consistent or inconsistent, depending on personal preference and decoration style.

Generally speaking, it is not suitable to choose too cold tones for bedrooms that are smaller and have poor lighting, while rooms with more light will have more options.

The choice of bedroom furniture colors is different for different people. For example, the bedroom furniture of the elderly should choose a steady dark color, the color of the children's bedroom can be more relaxed and bright, and the master bedroom is more suitable for personalized and durable colors.

In addition, we also need to consider that different colors will create different bedroom atmospheres and psychological effects. For example, light-colored furniture such as light gray, light beige, and light brown will create a peaceful, quiet, and elegant atmosphere, expand the sense of space, and make the room brighter and cleaner; while dark-colored furniture such as medium yellow, orange, and green will make the bedroom lively and bright.

Many people tend to think that bedroom furniture can be completely determined by personal preference. In fact, warm colors for bedroom walls and furniture can create a warm and happy atmosphere. Bright neutral colors for walls and furniture will make the room look bright.

How to choose bedroom furniture

1. Types of furniture usually chosen for bedrooms

Let’s first briefly introduce the types of furniture that are usually found in bedrooms: beds, wardrobes, bedside tables, dressing tables, study chairs or dressing chairs, desks, bookcases or bookshelves, leisure chairs, leisure sofas, coffee tables, chests of drawers, TV cabinets, etc. The types of furniture in different bedrooms will vary due to the owner’s living habits, personal preferences, functional requirements, and bedroom area.

2. How to choose bedroom furniture

I think the choice of bedroom furniture should be considered from the aspects of furniture type, furniture style, furniture size, furniture material and furniture color:

⑴ Furniture selection

When choosing furniture, I think we need to first determine the category of "must-have" furniture for the bedroom based on the bedroom area and functional requirements. For example, if the bedroom is small, we need to set up a bed and a wardrobe first; a desk may be needed in a child's room...

After setting up the "must-have" furniture in the bedroom, if there is still some space left, you can consider choosing "enjoyment-type" furniture according to your living habits and personal preferences. For example, if you like to drink tea, you can set up a tea table combination if the bedroom area allows; if you like to read, choosing a leisure chair is the best choice...

⑵ Furniture style selection

Since the bedroom is a relatively independent space, I think it is best to keep the style of the furniture inside it consistent. Especially when the bedroom is small, if the furniture styles are inconsistent and not well matched, it will make the bedroom look "messy".

⑶ Furniture size selection

Choose the size of furniture according to the bedroom area, the type of furniture selected, usage habits, personal preferences, and the age of the owner, so that the furniture has a better "comfort" when used. For example, the size of furniture in the children's room should change as the child grows older; both 1-meter and 1.4-meter dressing tables can be placed in the bedroom. Choose the size that suits you according to your usage habits...

I think the appropriate size of furniture should be one that meets the needs of use without making the bedroom feel crowded.

⑷ Choice of furniture materials

The materials of bedroom furniture mainly include iron, solid wood, solid wood composite, MDF, core board, solid wood particles and other materials. Solid wood furniture is more environmentally friendly and comfortable, but the price will be higher; MDF, core board, solid wood particles and other materials must meet the E1 standard and have a certain degree of environmental protection before they can be purchased.

Wrought iron furniture has a smaller "sense of volume", which can effectively reduce the sense of crowding brought by furniture to the bedroom, especially in bedrooms with smaller areas. The main wrought iron furniture in the bedroom includes beds, bedside tables, coffee tables, leisure chairs, etc.

⑸ Choice of furniture color

When choosing bedroom furniture, color is an important aspect to consider. It has a direct relationship with the visual effect of the bedroom space. For color selection, please refer to "3. Color matching of furniture".

3. Color matching of furniture

I think the colors of the furniture in the bedroom do not have to be consistent. There are roughly the following ways to match them:

⑴ The furniture colors are inconsistent

① One color for fixed furniture and another color for movable furniture. The custom-made wardrobes, bookcases, bookshelves and other fixed furniture in the bedroom should use one color, which can be the color used in other spaces of the home, or the color you like that matches the bedroom decoration style; the movable furniture in the bedroom, such as beds, bedside tables, dressing tables, desks, etc. should use one color, which can be a color that is not used in the home.

Such a combination will make a clear distinction between fixed furniture and movable furniture, and will "magnify" the "presence" of movable furniture in the bedroom, making it the "focus" of the space; when the color of fixed furniture with a larger area is darker than that of movable furniture, it will bring a more obvious sense of oppression to the bedroom; when the color of fixed furniture with a larger area is lighter than that of movable furniture, it will "weaken" the "presence" of fixed furniture and reduce the sense of oppression it brings.

② The main furniture is the same color, with small furniture of different colors. The main furniture in the bedroom, such as the bed and wardrobe, choose the same color, while the small furniture such as the dressing table and chair choose different colors. This kind of bedroom maintains a good overall appearance while also being interesting, making the bedroom atmosphere more "lively"!

③ The furniture has the same color. The furniture in the bedroom can have the same or different colors. The cross-existence of the same color gives the bedroom a good "continuity", and the use of different colors gives the space a good sense of hierarchy and does not lack the "stability" of color.

④ The colors of the furniture are all different. Choose different colors for the bedroom furniture on the basis of a unified style, and then use accessories (such as mattresses, blankets, pillows, quilt covers, cushions, table lamps, etc.) to create a "connection" between the colors. The colors of the bedroom furniture are rich and there will be no "sense of confusion".

⑵The furniture has the same color

Furniture with consistent colors will make the bedroom space more integrated, and whether it is fixed furniture or movable furniture, whether it is large furniture or small furniture, it will be the "protagonist" in the bedroom and will not be ignored.

The furniture in the bedroom can only be consistent in color if it is purchased as a finished product from the same merchant or if the entire house is customized by the same merchant. Otherwise, even if the material is the same, embarrassing color differences are very likely to occur.

How to arrange bedroom furniture

1. Symmetry

This arrangement is centered on the bed, with the head of the bed against the wall. Wardrobes and bay windows are placed on the left and right of the bed, and bedside tables are placed at the head of the bed. This creates a symmetrical bedroom space with the bed as the center, which looks very simple and elegant.

2. Place a single sofa

A sofa can be placed in the bedroom for daily sitting and leisure needs. At this time, the sofa can be placed next to the window, which makes the space bright and elegant.

3. Taboo

1. The head of the bed is not close to the window

The bed in the bedroom, especially the head of the bed, should not be close to the window, because the window is hollow, which not only affects the owner's privacy, but also affects the owner's life and career.

2. The furniture should be flat

Although furniture can be customized to your liking, Feng Shui still emphasizes choosing flat furniture as much as possible, because some odd-shaped or uneven furniture means family disharmony and quarrels are likely to occur at home.

3. Don’t place your bed facing a mirror

No matter the head or foot of the bed, you should not have a mirror facing it. Feng Shui believes that a mirror facing the head or foot of the bed will not only easily cause trouble, but also may scare you when you get up at night. Therefore, the best way to deal with the mirror in the bedroom is to put it in the closet, pull it out when needed, and put it back when not in use.

4. Don’t be too messy

The bed and the floor should not be too messy, because if the bed and the floor are messy, it will not only affect the owner's luck, but also look untidy, affecting the owner's image and mood.
