Buying Guide For Bedroom Furniture

Of all the hassles and nuances you go through while picking the right bedroom furniture and furnishings for your home, reaching a ‘stuck-up’ situation can be the worst. It can happen when you buy furniture without looking into practical details of your home, or a particular room, the bedroom, for instance. Buying bedding set, bedroom mirrors and storage furniture like an armoires and dressers may be tricky. The kind of practical problems you face while buying furniture is different from the world of modern bedroom furniture and suites that you see on online furniture stores.

It helps to have a basic guideline in place. Here are a few tips on buying furniture that fits your home,

1. Local retailers can be a source of information to help you decide. Sometimes you may end up finding a great deal unlike retail shops that spend so much on floor space and as a result, hike up furniture prices. As online furniture stores save on this part, they get to pass on some part of the savings to customers as discounts.

2. Define your style. Each one of us has his own unique liking. If Bahamian is your style statement, you can buy furniture that fits the idea; and also combine it with other traditional and modern furniture.

3. Bed sizes
Who will sleep in the bed? What is the size of your bedroom? Take into account the number of people and the size of the person/s. Master beds are the largest, followed by King-size beds (California and standard), queen beds, full beds and twin beds. The dimensions of each size are as follows:

California king bed: 72 inches wide x 84 inches long
King bed: 76 inches wide x 80 inches long
Queen bed: 60 inches wide x 80 inches long
Full bed (or double bed): 54 inches wide x 75 inches long
Twin bed: 39 inches wide x 75 inches long (80 inches for extra long twin beds)

4. Bed Design
The construction of a basic bed is simple. It has a headboard on one end, footboard on the other. In between is the frame whereon the mattress fits. Depending on your taste, you can opt for anything from low-slung platform beds with an Oriental touch, to regular beds with much classy color and finish options. It is good to keep in touch the kind of scheming you plan to have with your bed. Then there are futons, day beds and trundle beds that make a great combo of utility and style.

5. Bed construction
Wood is the most common material used in bed construction. The advantages are sturdiness, longevity and easy maintenance. However, other material like powder-coated steel and brass are popular for its robustness and sleek features. Depending on your lifestyle, you can choose one that suits your taste and practical needs of your home. You don’t want a bulky bed when you keep shifting places more often. Something neat and handy, which can be assembled and dissembled easily, may be the best choice. So assess your need, first.

6. Night stands
Nightstands may be a tricky thing to choose. Especially if you have a designer bed, teaming up a pair of nightstand with other furniture and the overall theme may be difficult. But you can always get suites that come with complementing nightstands, armoires, dressing tables and mirrors. If you already have a bed, then you can opt for a design that is either the same color/finish as the bed or something complementing that fits with other furniture items in your bedroom.

7. Wardrobe/ Armoire
A wardrobe or armoire is one of the most important features in the bedroom. Depending on the number of people, the armoire should be combination of functionality and space, with drawers, hanging bars and other units you desire. Classic wooden armoires are popular, so are glass and wood wardrobes that look modern. Make sure you check the door dimensions of your bedroom to make moving the armoire easy.

8. Dressers, Mirrors and Chests
Well, we all know the story of cluttered drawers and closets. If you practically estimate the kind of space you need on daily basis, you can round up on a sensible dresser with spacey drawers and a complimenting mirror. Roomy drawers also allow more air and help with the uncluttered space we all so much crave for. While chests are vertical, dressers are wide and horizontally inclined. Check the dimensions carefully, for you need space to move around the bedroom.

9. Mattresses
Beds and mattress is an inseparable pair, both complimenting each other. There are regular mattresses and box spring mattress that require a basic construction. While others are built in a manner that needs no box springs, especially platform beds.

Bed sets or suites are also great money savers. You need not hassle over too many details. You get a matching bed, night stand and dresser together, so you won’t have to spend much time stewing and fretting over whether or not all your wood bedroom furniture will match. If your bedroom is large enough, also consider new chairs, a bookcase or two, maybe a new entertainment center.

With a new bed, you may want to add fresh bedding. Go for subtle serene shades that go with the curtains, wall paint and rest of the décor. With our huge discounts and low shipping, you can furnish your whole house without ever leaving it.

Cool Ways to Section Off Space

Do you have a room or space that you need to partition or section off? Well, there are many attractive, creative and innovative options available for the same. Depending on what your need is you can choose from the various options.

You have the standard option of using a screen. This could be a wooden screen that comes with carvings on them or the oriental cloth screen on a wooden frame. You could get innovative with the screen and have a painted canvas screen as a room divider. Another possibility is to get a favourite photo printed on a fabric screen to be used as a divider. The height of the frame can be chosen based on the amount of privacy you want to create. There are options available where the screen can be folded and kept aside when not needed.

The curtains are another beautiful and attractive way to section off space. You have the liberty to choose the fabric, the colour and the theme. You can choose between readymade curtains that are available and creating your curtain from scratch. They can be used as room dividers from ceiling to floor giving complete privacy. Curtains also give you the flexibility to maintain partial privacy. When you need the entire room to be completely open the curtains can be held back. You could also get beaded curtains. The beads could be made of acrylic, wood, bamboo, shells or fabric. Again you have limitless choice and designs available.

If you like plants and would like to have a few indoor plants around, why not use them as your room divider. Put them in beautiful containers and display them. The ideal plants would be bamboo, dracaena, palm or the ficus. Be sure to choose a plant that isn’t harmful to your pets. You could have each plant or tree put in separate container to form your divider.

A different manner in which plants can be used as a divider is along with trellises. It is best to use the trellis along with a planter box. You could have some beautiful indoor flowers in the planter with elegant vines climbing the trellis. Do remember that using plants as a divider is not going to give you complete privacy. But you are sure to have a pleasant and eye catching sight in the room.

A well designed sideboard or cabinet could be another option that you can use to section off your room. Of course this will not result in creating two separate and private areas but it will act as a good divider. The cabinet can be used to store things as well.

You could have the outside of the cabinet designed in glass, wood or leather to match your room’s settings. Instead of a cabinet you could also use a solid bookcase to divide the room. Other storage options too could be used as a divider. You could have a show case that has shelves or sections open on both sides where beautiful curios can be displayed.

Your creativity can help increase the options available. Make sure to choose a room divider that makes your space look beautiful and at the same time meets your requirements.

Beijing – Capital City of China

We had requested twin beds, but got two kings instead. Lee, annoyed, called the desk since he had reserved the room. Housekeeping informed us that one of the large beds could be separated into two twins, but the other could not. They came up with twin linens and separated the one that could be, which turned out to be the one in my and Lee’s room. They said they would bring a rollaway bed up and set it up in the living room for us. Doug volunteered to take the rollaway, which left Dave with the king bed in the other room.

Ok, problem solved, let’s go check out the hotel!

The concierge told us that amenities here were complimentary, not an extra charge like they were in Japan. (the pool area at the New Otani Hotel cost over $40 to use! no thanks!) The guys went to the gym, I went to check out the pool complex. It was huge! A large pool with many different depths, it had large pillars in the middle and artificial stone work all around. It had a waterfall, 2 “grottos” with hot tubs, caves, trees, the whole nine yards. With all the plants and rocks, plus bird and animal noises coming from hidden speakers, the place was kind of like a secluded jungle lagoon. Every lounge chair had an oversized rolled towel on it, as well as a complimentary bottle of water, with several pool attendants constantly refreshing them.

The locker room had another hot tub, as well as a sauna, steam room, lockers, and free toiletries such as razors, shaving cream and toothbrushes. Very nice! They even had a little centrifuge machine that could get all the water out of your bathing suit in about 15 seconds…and little plastic bags to put the suit in after that…they really thought of everything! I went for a swim and a soak in one of the hot tubs, and was soon joined by the rest of the guys from the gym. After lounging around there for an hour or so, we decided to head upstairs to start getting ready for dinner.

When we got back to the room, both Dave and Doug were shocked to find both their wallets and passports were missing!!! They had both left them in their bags on the floor, and now they were not there! (both Lee’s bags and mine were apparently untouched) I had remembered seeing Dave’s wallet, visible in his open bag, when I left the room, but didn’t think anything of it.

Now, it was clearly missing, and he was ready to kill someone! He dumped his suitcase all over the room, making a huge mess, in a futile attempt to find his missing items. Losing your passport and visa and wallet, on your first day in China…not good! It was about this time that Lee noticed a note from the hotel staff on the table, asking us to phone the front desk for instructions on how to operate the safe. He put two and two together, and called them while Doug and Dave tore through everything. The desk said that housekeeping had noticed the wallets in the open bags, and had put them in the safe. It was a huge relief to Dave and Doug when they opened the safe and found the missing items! It was a terrifying 5 minutes up until then, though! They were thrilled to have their stuff back, but still pretty pissed off that someone had taken it upon themselves to go into their bags and remove these items.

It would have saved a lot of time and trouble if they had only said that in the note!

For dinner, the concierge had recommended a place in the mall next to the hotel. They didn’t speak much English, but we just pointed at several dishes on the menu and shared. The food was decent, although one dish was very hot with chili’s…we didn’t finish that one! It was 9:30 pm by the time we finished, and the mall was closing up, so we had to walk the long way around to get back to the hotel. We did some exploring around the hotel, going up and down stairs, checking out the piano bar in the lobby, etc. We found a bar around the corner from the reception desk, and went in to check it out. It was very dark and smoky in the bar, also very small and crowded, so we didn’t even stay for a drink.

I’m used to Connecticut, where they don’t even allow smoking in bars! Just being in there was making my eyes water. When we came out of the bar again, there was a well dressed Asian woman in the lobby, giving us the eye. We had seen her when we went into the bar, but paid her no mind. Now, she seemed to be checking us out. Dave said, “Hey, I bet that’s a hooker!” Naw, we thought…she seems to be to well dressed, and professional looking. looks like a regular business woman to me! “Oh yeah?” said Dave, “Watch this. lets stand right here for a few minutes” We stopped in the middle of the lobby, and stood in a semi-circle, facing each other. Within 10 seconds, she came walking over to us! “Hello, would someone like to have a drink with me?” she asked.

“uh..no, not really!” we replied. ” Well, would you like me to come up to your room with you? ” Boy, talk about direct! No thanks, lady, not interested! “well, here, take this in case you want to talk later” Talk? She then attempted to hand us a small strip of paper, written in Chinese. (she had several) phone number? business card? I don’t know, we didn’t take one, and she walked away and went back to the bar. I almost wish I had taken one, it would have been an amusing souvenir, a hand-written business card from a Chinese hooker! But, I certainly didn’t want to give her any false encouragement! No, that is definitely NOT the kind of entertainment we came to Asia for! “See, I told you guys!” said Dave.

Yeah, yeah, you sure can spot ‘em! We went back to our room to relax and prepare for tomorrow….by ourselves!

Do You Want A Quick House Sale With No Estate Agents Fees?

If you want a quick house sale, you will find that the traditional method of selling through an estate agent is not without its drawbacks. You risk the possibility of the property chain breaking down or the buyer of your house pulling out at the last minute.

There are a number of things that you can do so that your house sells fast: -

1. Spring clean – this doesn’t cost anything, but even if your curtains and carpets need professional help, it will be worth the money and help your house sell fast.
2. De-clutter and de-personalise – A quick house sale will depend on how much it feels like home to your potential purchasers. Throw or give away what you don’t need and store everything else neatly in your cupboards. Serious buyers are likely to look inside of these as well. If they are overfull, buyers may assume there is not enough storage for them.  Don’t ruin your chances of a quick sale because of this.
3. Go neutral – colour is personal to the individual and differences in personal taste can affect your house sale. If you create a blank canvas for your buyer, it will be easier for them to visualise how they can make your home into their home.
4. Maintained – make sure you have no unfinished DIY, if you want a quick house sale.  Every time a buyer encounters a problem that he thinks needs fixing, he will mentally be reducing your house price.
5. First impressions count – view your house from outside and see how it compares with the others in your street. Maybe a few simple measures are needed, like cutting the grass or trimming the hedges.
6. Make sure there is a purpose for each room and above all make sure your house smells nice. Cooking, smoking, pets, damp, and blocked drains can all prevent you from getting a quick house sale, especially here in the UK.

Does all this sound too much, well there is an easier way.  There are quick house sale specialists, cash buyers, who offer to buy your house fast, no matter what condition it is in. One such company is An Instant Sale. They understand that there are many reasons for needing to sell your house quickly, like chain breaking, bereavement, ill health, divorce, relocation, debt, repossession, retirement or an inheritance.

They will work with you to find a solution for any problem and may be able to give a provisional offer for you home within hours. A quick cash house sale can be achieved throughout the UK in as little as a week, but it will always be in a time frame suitable to your self and family. Thus giving you the speed and certainty, which you cannot achieve with a traditional sale with and estate agent.
