Top 5 Modern Bedroom Furniture

Here are five of the top modern trends you should keep in mind when choosing your bedroom suite and accessories:

1. The circular bed has been around for a while, although it never became as popular as the traditional rectangular bed. In the past year or two, the circular bed has very much come back into vogue. Today's round beds are sleek and shiny, usually featuring classic neutral colours such as beige, white, black, gold and silver.

2. Chandeliers were once only used in ballrooms or dining rooms owned by the rich and famous. Now, chandeliers are available to all of us, and come in different styles, sizes and materials so that they can fit into almost any budget. Classic crystal chandeliers are always classy and elegant, but the modern trend leans more towards lighting fixtures that resemble contemporary art sculptures.

3. Many people stick to safe wallpaper designs or bland paint colours such as beige or tan. If you really want your room to look modern, you might need to experiment a little. Right now the hottest colours for the bedroom are rich browns, dark reds and shiny greys. To make a bedroom wall look even more modern, use more than one colour and create geometric designs on the wall.

4. Dressers, nightstands and tables should be chosen to match the colours on the bed and the style of your bedroom walls. Most modern dresser sets are clean-cut, have sharp angles and are created to hold technological devices in a way that doesn't stand out or look awkward. Some of the newer bedroom furniture pieces even come with a built-in, flat-screen television.

5. Another popular trend in the decorating world is the use of mirrors. Some customers choose to put mirrors on their walls, but the most popular current way to integrate mirrors is to scatter them across the ceiling. Having mirrors in the ceiling reflects the decorations in the room and makes it seem that you have twice as much space as you actually do. Of course, having mirrors in your ceiling or wall can also be quite sensual for you and your partner, particularly if you are interested in igniting your love life.
