The boudoir is the only place you’re expected to relax on cue — it's not easy. Which is why, the best bedroom furniture to fill it with are pieces that should do more than simply look good. It should feel good. It should calm, cocoon, and provide a sense of quiet, even when the rest of the home refuses to.
But beautiful, modern bedroom ideas don’t happen by accident. They’re designed, layered with thoughtful, well-scaled furniture pieces that signal softness and intention. A shapely bedside table. A low-slung bedframe. A perfectly stuffed, perfectly tufted armchair that makes no demands other than: lounge.
Whether you’re furnishing from scratch or refreshing an existing space, I’ve (ironically) burned the midnight oil and trawled through hundreds of options to scout the most major, of-the-moment, and best bedroom furniture to unwind and align where we're headed for 2025 and beyond.
The mood is relaxed, but the bedroom furniture ideas? Sharp.
Best Beds
The only thing better than a bed full of pillows? A bed built of them. This Heal's piece, with its tailored headboard and subtle piping detail, is made for lounging — upright, sideways, however you please. Though clearly luxurious, there’s a softness to the shape that feels just relaxed enough. (Note: it doubles up brilliantly in smaller spaces, thanks to its cleverly hidden storage).
If you’re more inclined toward something light and bright, consider Anthropologie’s refined take on 'Playfulism.' With its slightly squiggled silhouette and woven jacquard velvet upholstery, this bed feels approachable and fashion-forward, all at once. Top it with a shaggy bedroom rug and you’re golden.
On the more affordable end, this bed from Urban Outfitters punches well above its weight when it comes to the best bedroom furniture. There’s something inherently breezy about its low-slung design — especially in a woven cane that nods to coastal retreats circa 1970. The black contrast legs give just enough structure, while still feeling informal.
Best Nightstands
Leave it to Ferm Living to make a compact nightstand feel like sculpture. This piece balances clean lines with just enough of an off-beat quality to its proportions to create a surprising sense of sleekness. Though it creates the illusion of a seamless box, there’s a spacious storage drawer, making this an ideal small bedroom idea, and a great piece of bedroom furniture.
Rockett St George’s sculptural design doubles as visual punctuation. With its softened lines and matte finish, it brings a sculptural moment to the bedroom without demanding too much attention. Best for those who like their utility with a bit of edge.
John Lewis' bobbin-leg nightstand is a refreshing antidote to expected bedroom fare. The softly muted green finish feels just considered enough, and the deep drawer is ideal for keeping the evening mess at bay. A good match for more traditional or layered spaces.
Best Accent Chairs
Every angle of Soho Home’s vintage-inspired lounge chair is worth admiring. The curved back, generous proportions, tonal piping, and sculptural base make it one of the best bedroom furniture pieces for a reading nook as it is for the end of a bed. Pair with an upholstered pouffe and a martini (or morning coffee), and you’ve got a quiet corner to escape to.
H&M Home’s bouclé chair is a budget-friendly Livingetc favourite that doesn’t skimp on style. The mid-century chrome frame reads expensive, but the soft ivory fabric keeps it grounded. Perfect for the bedroom corner you’ve never known what to do with — or even better, as a matching set for a master bedroom.
Urban Outfitters' “Bubble” accent chair lives up to its name — low-slung, oversized, and wonderfully unexpected. The curved silhouette offers a hint of drama without overdoing it, and looks just as good with sculptural lighting or a brightly patterned throw. (Also available in a punchy mustard stripe if you’re after something more maximal.)
Best Chests of Drawers
Jonathan Adler’s lacquered chest of drawers is a high-gloss, high-impact moment. The clean lines, the whimsical hardware, and the rich orange (calling to mind a certain French fashion house) hit the sweet spot between serious and cheeky. And the natural accents? A knowing wink to the 1970s. Statement piece, secured.
If storage is your primary concern but style still matters (it always should), this Soho Home option is your answer. Wide, soft curves, topped with a moody Spanish Marquina marble, and finished in a beautifully fluted oak, this six-drawered beauty is truly elegant as ever (could easily double as living room storage, too).
Coming in hot with a perfect 5/5 star rating (this virtually never happens), is an absolute icon when it comes to the best bedroom furniture: the Hale Chest of Drawers. People say its quality is exceptional — from the heavy knobs to the soft close doors to instantly recognizable verdure print upholstery. Though, if you’d rather leave the trees for the actual outdoors, it’s available in a couple of stripey varieties, too.
FAQs
What furniture should I put in a guest bedroom?
First rule: don’t treat your guest bedroom ideas like a storage room.
If you can, resist the urge to rehome your child’s old twin bed — it pays dividends to invest in a larger one. “At the very least, a queen-sized bed and two side tables with separate lamps," says Brooke Aitken of Brooke Aitken Design. Bonus: You can accommodate two if need be.
Bedroom seating ideas are often overlooked, but also, very important when it comes to finding the best bedroom furniture. A bedroom chair gives your guest a small sanctuary within the room; a quiet spot to unwind, away from the rest of the house. It's a little touch that makes a bedroom feel more like a hotel.
And always provide ample storage: spots for shoes, coats, the whole nine. You never know how heavy your guests are traveling! Even a comfortable chair over a cupboard and a few hooks for temporary hanging will do just fine — get creative.
What color furniture works best in the bedroom?
It’s less about a single shade and more about harmony when it comes to the best bedroom furniture colors. For instance, Athina Bluff, founder of Topology Interiors points out that “neutrals can also be a great base for more color."
“Neutrals are calming in an interior as they are super easy to live with," she adds. "They can evoke a sense of tranquility and quiet." But if you’re into a moodier look, deep greens, smoky blues, and walnut wood tones can feel especially grounding as bedroom color ideas.
What’s trending for bedroom furniture in 2025?
Modular designs that optimize small spaces are considered to be the best bedroom furniture out there right now. Think: beds with hidden storage drawers, slim-profile nightstands, and ottomans that moonlight as both seating and stashing spots.
Texture is trending, too — fluted wood, bouclé upholstery, and natural finishes that bring a rich, tactile warmth.
Where’s the best place to buy bedroom furniture?
When shopping for the best bedroom furniture, you're always in for a treat at Heals and Anthropologie. Both offer investment-level (but not egregious) pieces you won’t spot in everyone else’s home.
For bedroom furniture that's a little more high-concept, try Soho Home. Yes, it's a splurge. But if you're after timeless pieces that somehow still fit the current moment (new-to-you heirlooms, if you will), then you've found the right place.
And don’t sleep on Wayfair for well-priced, well-designed pieces — there are real gems to be had if you do a bit of digging.
You have what you need. Now, make your bedroom furniture flow by following a few rules of bedroom Feng Shui.
