My Two Cents on Bedroom Furniture

Bedroom Furniture is the reason that ultimately draws you to your place of nesting. Hence the furnishings have to be magically inviting. They have to be cozy, and of course relaxing.

After all, the bedroom furniture will give the ultimate rest to your tiring bones and exhausted mind. These fixtures constitute a vital component of the total ambiance of your home.


BEDROOM FURNITURE: TRACING THE ROOTS

‘Bedroom’ is the place where we relax or sleep. That is the room where we regain our sense of mind and tone up our body for the next hectic schedule. The bedroom is also the place where many people retire for introspection. That is also the domain for meditation.

On the other hand, ‘furniture’ alludes to the things that add to the magical aura of this sanctum sanctorum of the home.

Viewed from an entirely personal angle, we do share with others all the other rooms of a house. However, all of us are very much possessive about our bedroom. We also design our bedroom according to our wishes and desires.

The additional items that go to build up our dream place – the bedroom – constitute the furniture.

Many people believe that the expression ‘furniture’ means any item that resemble the tables, chairs, and similar other items. That’s a misconception, though.

FURNITURE: THE BROADER ASPECTS

The term ‘furniture’ has now assumed a wider context. It has a multi-purpose reference. These are the creative, aesthetic as well as utility aspects. The trio is intrinsically linked with the probable paid value any customer would be ready to dispense with reference to that product in the prevailing situation.

The same word ‘Furniture’ connotes movable equipment of the rooms constituting a house. Furniture can be tables, sitting tools, dressing tables, wardrobes or beds.

The same term ‘furniture’ can also point to any equipment of a ship.

The other reference of the word ‘furniture’ is any accessory like the keys of the locks, the locks and the handles, or the handles or the other equipments on a door or the window or the walls. It can also include the water taps of the lavatory or the bathroom.

Basically furniture adds to the overall furnishings of any room. The French reference is ‘to furnish’. In this context, ‘furniture’ can refer to all forms of accessories adorning the rooms. They can verily be the curtains, the trappings that keep the window blinds in their proper places, the color combinations of the ceilings and the walls besides the covers of the sofa sets.

Therefore, the first things that strike our minds when we speak of ‘bedroom furniture’ are the master or the single bed, the almirah and the other accessories to store the clothes, the dressing table along with the low-level sitting stool besides the curtains and the wall hangings. All of these make up your bedroom furniture.

My Two Cents Drawing Room Furniture

Drawing room furniture adorns the parlor. It is this set of furnishing that sets your standard – creative, social as well professional. The term ‘furniture’ has a wider connotation what with it referring to all things that are used for decorating a room and which are also movable. Therefore, it includes not just the tables and the chairs or the sofa sets but also the awnings and even the wall hangings.


LAYOUT SPILLS OUT YOUR PERSONALITY

The arrangement of the various items within the drawing room affects an overall impact on the viewer as he/she occupies it. An instant notion is formed, and that sticks in the mind of the newcomer. This is the first inkling that generally tends to be the lasting impression!

So, take pains to ensure that what items you wish to keep in your parlor and also how you present them. It is similar to your signature or your handwriting which are vital tools to the expert to judge your personality. Think twice before setting the furniture within the drawing room.

FIRST IMPRESSION COUNTS

The things in the room and the ways in which they are displayed along with the wall hangings and even the photos besides the curtains or the window blinds and the color combinations or the dominance of a single color in all the furnishings are vital factors that go to create the first impression on the person.

Remember, this first picture of the inanimate objects will lead to a lasting view of the animate object, i.e., you! Imagine that happens even before you have given him the audience.

Sounds rather strange… Doesn’t it… No, it’s not… This is because that’s how the first inkling is the last impression!

The moot point is, “How does it happen?” The answer is the drawing furniture and its layout.

Well, how would you judge these two persons: One is designing his drawing room with various designer knives and bamboo sofa sets and tables while the other has pitched sceneries on the walls with the floor layout having rattan (cane) furniture.

In both the cases, the inclination of the owner of the house towards natural items is quite evident. However, in the first instance, the person has a more forceful and might be an adamant or aggressive nature whereas in the latter case the tilt towards less dynamic nature. Nonetheless, the creative personality is quite marked in either instance, though in varied and different degrees and perspective.
