Complete double bedrooms: what should a complete furnishing set include?

Furnishing a master bedroom is one of the most important decorating decisions for the home—it's the space where you spend about a third of your life. But what should a complete bedroom furniture set include? And how do you choose each piece wisely?

The essentials for a master bedroom.

1. Bed

The bed is the central element of the bedroom. For a couple, the minimum recommended size is 160x200cm. Ideally, it should be 180x200cm — this provides much more comfort for both partners.

Most common bed types:

• Upholstered bed: modern and elegant, with a padded headboard. Very fashionable right now.
• Wooden bed: classic, durable and versatile in terms of style.
• Bed with storage: features drawers in the base or a chest, ideal for bedrooms with limited space.

2. Mattress

Don't underestimate the importance of the mattress — it's the piece of furniture that most affects sleep quality. Invest in a quality mattress suited to your sleep profile.

3. Bedside tables

One on each side of the bed. They should be at the same height as the mattress or slightly above. Besides being practical (lamp, book, cell phone), they contribute greatly to the visual balance of the room.

4. Wardrobe

Essential. The ideal size depends on the available space and the couple's storage needs. Sliding doors are a good option for smaller bedrooms, as they don't require space to open.

5. Chest of drawers

It complements the wardrobe and serves to store folded clothes, accessories, or other items. It can also function as a support surface with a mirror.

Optional but highly valued parts

Freestanding headboard

If the bed doesn't have a built-in headboard, an upholstered or wooden headboard gives the room a much more refined finish.

Bench or chest at the foot of the bed

Convenient for sitting while getting dressed and can also serve as extra storage.

Mirror

A full-length mirror is almost indispensable in a master bedroom. It can be floor-standing, wall-mounted, or integrated into the wardrobe.

Tips for choosing cohesive bedroom furniture

• Choose pieces from the same line or collection to ensure visual consistency.
• Keep the color palette simple: 2 to 3 shades maximum.
• Leave a minimum circulation space of 60cm around the bed.
• Lighting is part of the furniture — think about the light fixtures from the start.
