I found out something from the web and I guess it’s cool so I came to a conclusion to post it out here. It’s Feng Shui and it talks about how you arrange the surroundings in your room to improve your luck. First of all, remove as much clutter as possible or all from your bedroom as it doesn’t bring positive luck to you. The other one is, if you want to improve your relationship (with your husband/wife), you should place a statue of two dolphins at the far right corner in your room. Well, these are just Feng Shui. For some, they believe in it, as for those who don’t, treat it as a leisure reading.

Commanding Center Stage

Some beds just aren’t meant to be shoved in a corner. Intricate details and sweeping design make the Monique Bed with Frame the centerpiece of attraction. Fashion Bed Group proves that precision metalwork and a contrasting finish can turn a bed into a work of art.

The Monique Bed is a masterful combination of the sturdiness of fully welded construction and delicacy of scrollwork. The four posts are topped with curled finials, with rounded castings at the feet. The metal headboard and footboard feature large centered ovals with sweeping curved spindles on each side. The overall look is one of elegance with a hint of Faberge Egg or Cinderella’s carriage. Roped metal drapes across each oval and attaches with knotted designs and end tassels. Intricate decorative castings grace each spindle, while the headboard and footboard feature a floret in the center.

Finished in a contrast of bronze and silver, the Monique Bed with Frame from Fashion Bed Group begs for center stage. Choose your size up to the king to grace any space. The full size is perfect for a little princess’ room, and its deceptively sturdy construction means the Monique is build to last her until she gets her own castle.

While we may never know what caveman first decided to elevate his bedding from the ground, the ancient Egyptians are credited with the first actual platform beds, meaning that they were invented long before the box spring. In fact, even looking forward to more modern beds, you’ll find that loft beds, the style preceding platforms, were developed long before box springs came into existence.

In ancient Egypt, the inhabitants of platform beds were more often than not Pharaohs and other royalty as opposed to commoners, slaves, and servants, who continued to sleep on the ground. Later, modern platform beds were developed in what was more of a loft style bed, in which the bed was elevated up on four poles so that not only was the bedding removed from the ground but also provided more floor space for living in a small abode. In the times of the Egyptians, lower level royalty probably had reeds and wooden poles holding up their makeshift mattresses, while Pharaohs likely had poles built from silver and gold.

Today’s beds also often incorporate the box spring, which really came into existence only in the early 20^th century. It is used for several purposes, including to provide extra support for the mattress so that it lasts longer, as well as to elevate the sleeper higher from the ground. To see what the mechanisms within a box spring actually provide, you can look at a modern day trundle day bed, which is configured to offer the same support without using a box spring so that the trundle can collapse and fit beneath the daybed. The modern mechanism has evolved somewhat, though, so that the basic structure is more often constructed from wood or MDF as opposed to weak metals.

The bedroom furniture you find today is often in the form of a platform, as these are the latest trend in design. Now, though, the modern design is set up so that the bed is typically quite low to the ground. The platform style bed can be used with or without a box spring, since the base is usually configured to support the mattress of its own accord. However, for those who wish to be more elevated from the ground, the box spring can come in handy, adding height to the low-slung bed. For others, the lack of a box spring leads to a more natural feel with the mattress lower to the ground.

Lifestyle Solutions is a prime source of all sorts of platform beds, including many that can make great centerpieces for your master bedroom. However, they are available in all sizes from this fine manufacturer and are not only high quality but also priced to fit any budget. While it is an old idea from perhaps several millennia past, the platform style bed has a new, contemporary twist in the modern day, and with or without the box spring, it can be a great addition to your design element.

Which Came First – The Platform Bed or the Box Spring?

Here is something you don’t see very often and those who suffer from claustrophobia stay away! The Lit Close is a concept by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec” and are available in n a low and a high version, respectively 70 cm and 180 cm off the ground.

“The Lit Clos puts forward a simple idea. It’s a box that’s sufficiently closed to accommodate a bed and the intimacy that it presupposes, and at the same time sufficiently open not to be claustrophobic. The box is on an architectural scale, between a bed and a bedroom”.

Easy Cleaning Tips for Your Bedroom Furniture

Cleaning and keeping up with furniture can be a real hassle if you don’t have a regimen that you follow to make it a habit. At the same time, dusting your headboards or caring for your metal beds can be a breeze, if you have some simple directions and a few tips to help you maintain the pieces in just a few minutes a week. Here are some basic tips for cleaning and maintaining any bedroom furniture with ease and very little time or effort required.

• You probably dust the living room on a regular basis. When you take on this task, add an extra two minutes to your maintenance to brush through your bedroom and dust your wooden headboard. One of the best ways to maintain any furniture is to keep dust and shedding off the pieces, so simply taking a dry or damp cloth and running over the surface to remove these particles can make a world of difference.

• Daybeds are often made of wrought iron. Wrought iron beds are very simple to maintain, requiring a regular dusting and a quick wash from time to time. Don’t use soap; try a wet rag or, if there is something that has become stuck to the surface, glass cleaner or a substance like Goo-Gone, if the substance is thick and difficult to remove. You’ll find these provide the best results on wrought iron surfaces.

• Today’s furniture often includes a lot of wood, and wood platform beds have become quite popular. When caring for wood bedroom furniture, like some of the pieces sold by South Shore Furniture, get a good wood polish to keep up the shiny appearance. While you do not need to polish the furniture constantly, you should dust regularly with a damp cloth and, perhaps once a month, make use of your furniture polish. Be sure to follow the instructions carefully, and use a safe cleaner for the type of wood furniture you have; some polishes are meant for specific items and could damage your furniture if you aren’t careful.

Contemporary bedroom furniture is all about convenience, and cleaning the furniture is just one aspect that has been made simple. If you take just a few extra minutes out of your week each week, you’ll find that your furniture will last longer in better shape and look better, too, with these simple cleaning tips!
