More Bedroom For Your Buck

The cost of buying new furniture can escalate quickly, overwhelming you with choices between styles and types of woods and finishes and…well, you get the idea. Fortunately, there are a few ways you can still refurbish a new bedroom without spending too much money.

One of the best ways to save money is by downgrading the quality of your furniture to some degree. While solid hardwoods are beautiful, their hefty price tag may be a bit too high. Instead, look for materials made from engineered woods like hardboard, particleboard and medium density fiberboard. These materials have the same strength and durability as hardwood, making them a great investment for simpler pieces of furniture like a dresser. They’re also excellent for children’s bedroom furniture, as they can stand up to the rigors of constant wear and tear, without you feeling as though you’ve paid a fortune for them.

Another great material that can help save money is veneered wood. Furniture made from veneered wood retains the same look and feel of solid hardwood, but for a fraction of the price. Since veneers are solid hardwood that has been thinly layered over medium density fiberboard or another engineered wood, you are getting an upgrade in quality without having to sacrifice your pocketbook.

Ready-to-assemble furniture, or RTA, is also worth taking a look at. RTA furniture, while it is not nearly as long lasting, is convenient to set up and works well as home office furniture, kids bedroom furniture, or even some bedroom furniture like dressers and nightstands. With a contemporary edge, RTA furniture gives you a clean look at a cheaper price than heavy solid hardwood furniture.

Finally, for a quick fix update to your bedroom furniture, look at buying a platform bed. These beds are the height of modern bedroom furniture; with clean lines and sleek finishes, the platform bed balances urbane style with an unembellished headboard and low-profile silhouette. The best part is that platform beds save you money by forgoing a box spring in favor of wooden slats that run across the width of the bed to support the mattress.
