planner The way you arrange furniture is extremely critical and it can make a big difference if done properly. Everyone can design their own perfect space with just a little bit of thought and a lot of experimentation. Thinking of different ways to set up new furniture is the most fun part about setting up your house. At Surplus furniture we have a wide variety of bedroom furniture that will fit any of your specific needs you have when moving into a new house or apartment. When it comes to arranging furniture in your apartment, it’s sometimes necessary to get a little creative. Sometimes, the most difficult room to design is the bedroom. We have everything you need to make your dream bedroom. Before you start deciding where to put what, think about the furniture you’re using and try to use only the pieces that are necessary for the room to function. This is especially important in small apartments when there isn’t a lot of extra space– using fewer pieces will make the room look and feel a lot more spacious. If your room is extra tiny, use taller dressers and shelves to get more storage while taking up less room.

That way, you can eliminate some of the options that won’t work and potentially save your floor or walls from scratches or marks while moving your dresser for the zillionth time (believe me, it happens). Measure at least your biggest items (bed, dresser, shelves, etc.), as well as the dimensions of your room, then sketch out a couple of different options. rightmattressOnce you’re ready to put the pencil and paper down, and start actually arranging, begin with your bed. Traditionally, beds are placed on the wall opposite the door or the largest one with no windows. In a small bedroom, you may have to break these guidelines, though. Find a spot for your bed that makes the most sense to you, just make sure you can open and close your bedroom and closet doors. Also, while placing your bed under windows is totally OK from a design perspective, you may find yourself feeling uncomfortable drafts over the winter.
So, when moving into a new place, and you won't settle for anything but the best for your bedroom, come on down to Surplus Furniture; you'll be glad you did!
