Bedroom Furniture Terms Explained
The bedroom is the part of a home used mostly for sleeping. If a bedroom has a bookshelf or a computer desk, can serve as a study. Because the bedroom is the only private place in a home, it is often designed in a romantic way, and has only a night table and a bed. Other bedrooms have entertainment centers inside. Depending on your flavor, furniture items in your bedroom may include a full, king or queen-sized bed with proper bedding, a nightstand, dressers and closets.
