If you answered mostly A then you’re likely to be buying furniture for a main bedroom, so your focus needs to be purely on comfort. If you have an attic bedroom or a room with a sloping ceiling, then avoid a bed with a high headboard. Measure the height of the bed, and then from the floor to the ceiling before you buy. Choose between a small double Tewin Vintage Hospital style bed or the headboard-free Hertford Low Platform bed frame.
If you answered mostly B then you’re likely to be buying furniture for a guest bedroom or spare room. If you only have occasional guests staying overnight, then you’ll want to make the most of this space with multifunctional furniture. The Harper 2-Seater Folding Click Clack Sofa Bed is a great addition for a compact room. If you’re really tight on space, then try a Metal Foldaway Guest Trundle bed frame that can be easily stored in a cupboard.
If you answered mostly C then you’re likely to be buying furniture for a home office or a study. Once you have a desk fitted within this space, you need to make sure you have enough room for a comfortable seat. The Cecil Linen Office Chair comes in an array of colours to brighten up any home office. And if you have enough space, why not add the compact Eaton Herringbone Fabric Recliner and create a reading nook?
If you answered mostly D then you’re likely to be buying furniture for a games room or a children’s bedroom. If you want to maximise the space, why not fit a monitor or a projector screen to the wall and then connect to your device? This wall-screen will save space. You will then have room for a GT Force Gaming Chair or two! If you want to combine gaming with a sleeping solution, then choose the futuristic Orion Gaming Bed with LED headboard.
When it comes to choosing furniture for awkward spaces such as attic rooms or small bedrooms, a little creativity goes a long way! Check the angle and height of any sloping ceilings before buying any furniture. Carefully measure each area of the room and any additional space needed for a guest trundle or pulled-out sofa bed. We have a wide choice of furniture purposefully designed for compact modern homes and cosy cottages.
