Whether you bought a new house and want to decorate your bedroom or just want to change the furniture sets in your bedroom, I have you covered in this guide.

You will discover modern, wooden, complete bedroom furniture set ideas that are elegant, aesthetic, durable, and add to the overall beauty of your bedroom. You will also learn why wooden furniture sets are the best for your bedroom, and how to choose the suitable wooden furniture.

Let’s look at the essential modern wooden pieces of furniture that you need in your bedroom.

Bed Frame

This is the most important piece of furniture you need in your bedroom. Your mattress is laid on it, and it provides much-needed comfort while you relax and sleep on it. 

Bed Frames have different styles that suit different types of bedrooms. 

There is the platform bed which is known for its low profile, sleek, and simple design. It’s a great fit if you want cool and simple furniture sets to decorate your bedroom. It’s made of a solid base that gives your mattress firm support, eliminating the need for a box spring.

You will love its minimalist aesthetic, storage options, and sturdy construction. If you want a space-saving, affordable, and versatile design bed frame, then the platform bed frame style is what you need.

Canopy bed is another style of bed frame that is common in most American homes. It’s known for its four tall posts at each corner, which connect to horizontal rails at the top. It’s made of solid wood and has a modern, sleek design. 

I love the focal points and customizable nature that allow you to change fabrics to suit different seasons and color themes. It’s also available in rustic, contemporary, and traditional styles. If you prefer this type of bed frame, you will enjoy the enhanced privacy, versatility, and elegance it brings to your bedroom decor. 

Storage bed frames are popular among people who live in a small bedroom and want to save space. It has in-built storage solutions like drawers, shelves, and compartments within the bed frame. Just like platform and canopy bed frames, it’s made of strong and engineered wood and is suitable if you want a bed frame that makes bedroom organization and space-saving easier. 

The upholstered bed is a trendy type of bed frame among young people. It’s just a wooden frame padded with leather and faux to make it look cozy and aesthetic in the bedroom.

One of the reasons young people prefer it is the headboard that gives a comfortable and soft backrest. If you prioritize comfort, elegant design, luxury look, and customization, go for an upholstered bed frame.

Nightstands

Nightstands also known as bedside tables or bedside cabinets are another piece of furniture you need in your bedroom furniture set. It serves a dual purpose – aesthetic and functional, which provides surface and storage space as well as complements the bed, and contributes to the overall decor of your bedroom. 

For convenience purposes, you can use it to store items you need while lying on your bed. Your books, portable smart devices, and other bedroom enhancement items can be kept on the nightstands so you can pick them up anytime without having to leave the bed. 

As a surface of storage, you can place items like a glass of wine, bottled water, wristwatch, handkerchief, alarm clock, and smartphone on it. 

With a nightstand, your bedroom can’t be cluttered as it becomes a designated place to store small items. Modern wooden nightstands like the one I have in my bedroom have drawers and shelves. This is an extra storage unit that can contain items that ordinarily will make the bedroom look untidy. 

I maximize mine to the fullest. For example, I store my favorite inspiration book on the nightstand shelf because I read it every morning before commencing my daily activities. My essential documents like educational credentials, and travel documents are stored in the nightstand drawer. 

Nightstands provide support for lighting the bedroom. The ideal place to keep your bedside lamp is on the nightstand. This provides that dim light you need to relax in the bedroom or even read books on your bed. Bedside light also highlights the decor and flashy elements in the bedroom while adding to the overall light scheme.

Bedroom nightstands come in different styles and designs. 

There are traditional nightstands that feature carved details, ornate hardware, and turned led. It’s made of solid wood, like mahogany.  They have more drawers and open shelves meant for storage. You will find them old model bedrooms, which often appeal to older people. 

We also have modern and minimalist nightstands. They are sleek, and aesthetic and are known for their neat lines. They are mostly made of wood, but in some cases can be furnished with metal or glass.

Furthermore, they have a single drawer and shelf with an in-built charging station and LED light to enhance functionality. This is the type I have in my bedroom, and it’s also popular among young people. Seniors don’t prefer it because it offers little or no drawers and can be made of glass. 

Another is the Scandinavian nightstands that are known for their simple and functional design. It’s made of light wood and has tapered legs with a clean and neat design. They have drawers and shelves which provide versatile storage while maintaining an airy aesthetic. They are suitable for a bedroom with a minimalist design, but a downside is they can’t take heavy items because of the light wood they are made of. 

You may also like Rustic and Farmhouse Nightstands. This type of nightstand is made from materials with a distressed finish or reclaimed wood. It features elements like metal hardware, and barn doors and has a handcrafted look. Just like the traditional nightstands, it has more drawers and shelves which serve decoration and storage purposes. 

And finally, the floating nightstands. This type of nightstand is mounted on the bedroom wall close to where the bed is. That’s why they are called floating. They come in different designs like minimalist, modern, traditional, handcrafted, and rustic.

If your bedroom is small, and you want to save floor space, the floating nightstands are ideal. They offer shelves and drawers like other nightstand styles. The only difference is that they are mounted on the wall. 

Consider matching or contrasting styles when choosing the nightstands you want in furniture set for your bedroom. A nightstand that matches your bed frame is ideal since you want the furniture to add to the beauty of your bedroom. 

Bedroom Dresser

Just like bed frames, a bedroom dresser is a key piece of furniture you need in your bedroom. It’s designed for you to store your clothes and personal belongings and also enhance the aesthetic of the bedroom. It has a lot of drawers, which is suitable for women who have lots of personal items they want to keep in the bedroom.

For example, you can store expensive jewelry, belts, scarves, and ties in the drawers. The clothing storage apartment is designed to accommodate different types of clothes like underwear, socks, and folded garments and keep them organized for easy access.

Just like bed frames and nightstands, dressers have different styles that suit different bedroom designs.

The traditional dresser which is common with seniors features elements like ornate carvings, curved lime and antique-style hardware. It is made of solid wood like mahogany, which makes it heavy and withstand heavy clothing and accessories stored in it.

If you have gold bars and other heavy personal valuables you want to store, the traditional dresser is ideal. It also makes sense in a bedroom with vintage decoration.

Modern dressers which many millennial and Gen Z women have in their room have a sleek and minimalistic design. They are made of light wood and glasses are often used to beautify them. They include the latest and trendy conveniences like secret compartments, which make it hard for an intruder to identify where an item is stored. 

Scandinavian dressers are known for their tapered legs and light wood finish that makes them sleek and uncluttered. They are known for having drawers and shelves, which are more storage units needed in a small bedroom for adults. 

There are also rustic dressers which are made from reclaimed wood. They offer more storage space and fit in properly in a bedroom with a rustic look.

Wardrobe

If additional space is needed for storing clothes and personal belongings and the dresser isn’t enough, you will need a wardrobe. This is important if you share the bedroom with your partner. Both of you will have clothes and personal belongings, and the dresser won’t be enough.

While the woman uses the dresser, the man can store his clothes and other personal belongings in the wardrobe. A modern wooden wardrobe features a hanging space, shelves, and drawers.

Mine has two drawers, one shelf, and one hanging space. This provides additional space to keep your items organized in the bedroom. Apart from storing your clothes and keeping the bedroom organized, a wardrobe enhances the decor of your bedroom, especially when it matches the color of your bedroom, nightstands, and dresser. 

Wardrobes have different styles that fit in different designs of the bedroom. 

There is a freestanding wardrobe. This is a standalone type of wardrobe that can be moved around in the bedroom. They are modern, sleek, and are made of solid wood.

It’s suitable for bedrooms that don’t have an in-built wardrobe. So if you rent a house whose bedroom doesn’t have a wardrobe, the freestanding type of wardrobe should be in the set of furniture you need to decorate your bedroom. 

An in-built wardrobe is another type of wardrobe that is common. They are factored into the structure of the bedroom and then integrated into the wall. Unlike the freestanding wardrobe, you can’t move or reposition them.

They are custom-made to fit the dimensions of the space meant for them in the bedroom. What I like about them is that they maximize bedroom space with more drawers, shelves, and sometimes a specialized compartment. Most of the old-fashioned houses in the United States, Canada, and United Kingdom have in-built wardrobes.

Sliding door wardrobe is one of the wardrobe styles that are still fashionable despite not being new. Instead of swinging to open the door, you slide either to the right or left to open.

This style is ideal for bedrooms where the usual wardrobe door won’t work because of room size or layout. Sliding doors of the wardrobe are often made of glass, which can serve as an improvised mirror, lighten the room, and enhance its aesthetic.

Walk-in Closet

This is the style of wardrobe that you find in large bedrooms and master bedrooms. It’s expensive, occupies space but looks luxurious and cozy in the bedroom. Most of the expensive duplexes and mansions in highbrow locations in the US, UK, and Canada have this type of wardrobe.

They are customized with shelves, hanging rods, drawers, and even islands to suit the needs of the owner. What I like about it is that it is large and accommodates features like mirrors, seating, and dressing areas. For couples that want a luxurious wardrobe that can accommodate their clothes, shoes, jewelry, costumes, and other personal belongings and still offer features that make dressing up easier, the walk-in closet is ideal.

Seat 

Modern bedroom furniture set isn’t complete without seats. You need chairs in your bedroom to sit when you are not lying on the bed. It can be where you sit and watch TV, read books, or even discuss with your partner.

It offers a comfortable place to sit and dress up like wearing your shoes or doing other grooming activities. Bedroom seats add to the aesthetic of the bedroom, often becoming a focal point, drawing attention and complementing other furniture in the room.

Different types of bedroom seats serve functional and aesthetic purposes. 

We will look at them below. 

Armchairs – These are upholstered chairs with arms that provide support for the arm while sitting. They come in classic, and modern styles and look cozy when you match them with bed frame color.

Armchairs are suitable for relaxing and reading. You can even take them outside the bedroom to relax on the porch area of your house. If your bedroom is large and has enough space to accommodate luxury furniture, then armchairs will make sense in it.

Accent chair – This type of chair is designed to add to the decor of the bedroom. They look stylish and decorative and can be a focal point for anyone who walks into your bedroom. It doesn’t take up much space and is suitable for small bedrooms that need stylish seats to enhance aesthetics.

Ottomans – This is a type of upholstered chair without a back or arm. It can be round, square and rectangular depending on your bedroom size, and design. If you often entertain guests in your bedroom, this type of chair is ideal for two people. They are movable and are a versatile seating option for small spaces. 

Chaise lounge – These are long chairs meant for reclining. They have backrests at one end, come in a modern and classic style, and can be upholstered. They can be expensive but add a touch of luxury and comfort to your bedroom. It’s suitable for napping, reading, and lounging. Due to their large size, they fit in better in a large size bedroom. 

Window seats – You need this type of seat in your bedroom if it has large windows. You can sit on them and enjoy natural light and views while relaxing, reading, or even drinking your wine. They can be freestanding or in-built and often include cushions and underneath storage. 

Stools – In a small bedroom where you want to maximize space, a stool can be an ideal sitting option. They don’t have a back or arm and are made of solid and well-polished wood. They are a flexible seating option and can serve as a footrest or small table in the bedroom. 

Factors To Consider When Buying Bedroom Furniture Sets 

Before you buy a furniture set for your bedroom, some factors will guide you to make an informed decision.

Room Size and Layout 

It’s a waste of money to buy furniture that won’t fit in your bedroom size. Measure the dimensions of your bedroom, ceiling heights, windows, and doors. This will help you decide the size and placement of furniture you will buy.

Go for furniture that is proportional to the size of your bedroom. Oversized furniture will take up all the space in your bedroom, thereby making it look cluttered and difficult for you to move around freely in your room. 

Material and Quality 

The material and quality of your bedroom furniture matter. Go for furniture made of high-quality wood for durability and longevity. The finishing of the furniture should be perfect to enhance the aesthetic of your bedroom.

If you prefer to buy on Amazon, read the description thoroughly and also reviews from previous customers. This will help you decide the quality of the furniture. For physical stores, touch the furniture to check the quality of the wood and finish. Insist on durable wood like mahogany, which doesn’t decay or get infested with termites. 

Comfort 

You won’t want to spend money on bedroom furniture that won’t give you comfort. Check how comfortable it would be when using each of the furniture. For the bed frame, check how it was designed and how your mattress would be on it. For a wardrobe, ensure it won’t obstruct movement in the bedroom when open. And for seats, go for upholstered armchairs. 

Budget 

Make a budget of how much you are willing to spend on bedroom furniture and stick to it. Some bedroom furniture is expensive and way beyond your budget. So keep in mind that you have other items to buy such as bedroom curtains and light.

 Should all your furniture match in the bedroom?

It isn’t compulsory that all your furniture must match to enhance the decoration of your bedroom. It all depends on your personal preference and the aesthetic you want to achieve in your bedroom. I have seen bedrooms with two different colors of furniture and it still looks cozy. 

What is the most popular wood for bedroom furniture?

Mahogany is the most popular and versatile from my observation. There are also cherry, maple, walnut, and oak which are also durable. 

What nightstand color goes with a brown bed?

A white, gray, or cream color nightstand can go with a brown bed. I have also seen bedrooms with brown beds and black nightstands. It’s all about choice and the design you want to achieve. 

Do nightstands have to match the bed?

Your nightstand doesn’t need to match your bed. Just ensure that both complement each other and add to the overall aesthetic of the bedroom. 

How do you modernize a bedroom with old furniture?

The best and simplest way to modernize a bedroom with old furniture is to renovate and repaint the furniture so it looks new and attractive. You can do it yourself or hire a furniture maker to help with that. 

What are the 3 most important pieces of furniture you need when decorating a bedroom?

Bed frames, dressers, and nightstands are the three most important pieces of furniture you need when decorating a bedroom. The bed frame is where you place your mattress for sleeping and relaxation.

The dresser is where you store your clothes, shoes, jewelry, and other personal belongings. You may not need a wardrobe if you have a dresser. Nightstands serve as a table with drawers where you keep items you want to access easily while lying on the bed.

Can I add a couch to my bedroom?

A couch isn’t needed in the living room only. You can add a couch to your bedroom if you want. It’s a seating furniture that can serve functional and aesthetic purposes. Just ensure it doesn’t obstruct movement and that the color complements other pieces of furniture in the room. 

Final thoughts 

Your bedroom will be empty, dull, and uninspiring if you don’t have furniture set in it. I have shown you the must-have furniture set in every bedroom, their different styles, and factors to consider when buying. It’s over to you to check them out and see how they fit in the aesthetic of your bedroom.
