The bedroom is where we start and end each day, so it deserves bedroom furniture that makes us feel at home while meeting our everyday needs.
When it comes to upgrading your bedroom, finding the perfect furniture is more than just shopping and is about creating a sleep sanctuary. Your bedroom should be a reflection of your personal style while also providing comfort and practicality.
This means, bedroom furniture shopping is rather important but should still be simple. Personally, I think that you only really need three key items: a sturdy bed frame to support your mattress and your body; a little nightstand to hold your overnight essentials; and a stylish dresser with sufficient space for storage.
As someone who spends their days searching for the very best furniture and home decor, I’ve tried to narrow down my search to the best place to buy bedroom furniture for both style and quality. Think stylish, on-trend pieces that deliver comfort and function too.
Whatever your space and style needs, I suggest you shop at one of these. It’s where you’ll find the widest range of pieces, expertly crafted from premium materials to fit all of your bedroom furniture ideas. Let’s break it down.

The best places to buy bedroom furniture

If you’re working with a smaller bedroom or a tighter budget, I’d encourage you to keep to those three core pieces. If you have more money, time, and space to play with, you could start to shop for statement pieces that fit your needs. You might like a vanity station for morning maintenance or an ornate armoire to keep your closet from overflowing.
I’ve ranked and reviewed nine of my favorite bedroom furniture stores to suit every style of room and size of budget. I’ve tried to select The Big Three: a bed frame, a nightstand, and a dresser from each store to save you searching for the essentials.
1. Birch Lane

What to buy: Farmhouse-style furniture to last a lifetime
From the brains behind Wayfair comes Birch Lane, the home furniture brand that stocks elevated everyday essentials at accessible prices. You could buy a platform bed, a dresser, and a nightstand in complementary shades of unvarnished oak for a little less than $2,000. Or, go for a more curated and eclectic mix of upholstered, natural wood, and painted furniture for a design-led space that doesn’t cost the earth. When you shop for bedroom furniture at Birch Lane, you’re saving money to spend on the best mattress and the best pillow to help you sleep at night.
Allis Upholstered Wingback Bed
With 21 different fabrics to choose from for the upholstery, this wingback bed with an arched headboard encourages a long, lazy morning in bed. Made to order in Illinois, this almost-custom bed is a bargain for quality and customization.
Benbrook 1 – Drawer Spindle Nightstand
This cute and compact bobbin-style nightstand would fit right into a small bedroom. There’s just one drawer, but it’s deep enough to hold your phone, your book, and any overnight essentials.
Available in White, Navy, and Natural Wood this stylish 6-drawer dresser perfectly balances contemporary with vintage style with ring pull handles. The drawers are fitted with ball-bearing glides for easy open and close.
2. Magnolia

What to buy: Joanna Gaines’ signature style
When you shop for bedroom furniture at Magnolia, you’ll find an array of classic cuts and neutral colors to complement any bedroom color palette. Beds and headboards get their own special section, while dressers and nightstands are listed alongside benches, stools, and chaises for diverse seating options. If you fancy yourself a bit of a Joanna Gaines, and you’d like to try your hand at furniture design, you should also check out their customizable furniture function. You get to choose the colors and fabrics that fit your vision and arrange the furniture to suit your space.
According to the Magnolia site, the Colette Bed is inspired by vintage European design. The matte black iron frame is softened by the ivory upholstered headboard and footboard with a low-profile look.
Made from solid oak and sealed with a distressed black veneer, the Gabrielle Dresser would cut a cool shape in the corner of your bedroom and has plenty of storage.
Sabine Slipcover Swivel Chair
If you’re lucky enough to have space in your bedroom for a little cozy seating area, this slipcover armchair from Magnolia is not only super comfy but swivels too for comfort from every angle.
3. Anthropologie

What to buy: Unique statement pieces
Anthropologie stocks some of the most beautiful bedroom furniture on the market for those who are seeking a statement piece. You’ll find your fair share of solid wood and durable metal, but these classic materials are cut and carved into one-of-a-kind designs to celebrate the subtle variation of natural fibers. While the upholstered pieces are covered in daring patterns, prints, and patterns for something truly unique.
Handcrafted in the USA and shown here in the Mushroom shade, this Pebble Bed features a rounded headboard and footboard covered in a plus, performance velvet.
Burl wood is all the rage this year, and this nightstand will certainly make a warm and retro addition to your bedside. The curved shape will add a sense of movement, too.
Toulouse Bone Inlay Six-Drawer Dresser
For a whimsical bedroom or nursery, this dark ash wood dresser has been designed with a veneer finish, brass and iron hardware, and delicate flowers that dance across the drawers.
4. Lulu & Georgia

What to buy: Trend-led pieces with pizazz
For the most fashion-forward furniture shoppers, Lulu & Georgia provides endless options of bedroom furniture from more timeless pieces to totally unique shapes and silhouettes. Shop their upholstered furniture for the biggest offering of customized fabrics we’ve seen, with everything from performance velvets to beautiful florals, checks, and stripes.
If you have the space at the foot of your bed, a storage bench is never a bad idea for hiding clutter. With its performance boucle upholstery, this piece is designed for everyday elegance.
Available in a selection of fabrics including linen, boucle, velvet, prints and patterns, and corduroy as seen above, this wavy platform bed is both on-trend and highly customizable.
This nightstand offers a classic design with a contemporary twist thanks to the clean wood finish and wavy-turned legs. The solid brass handle is the cherry on top.
5. Pottery Barn

What to buy: Timeless sleeper sofas, daybeds, and vanities
At Pottery Barn, bedroom furniture is all about traditional styles with a modern twist. You’ll see a lot of mixed materials and subtle color contrasts to create bespoke beds. Once you’ve invested in your sleep essentials, it’s time to explore the rest of the site. Pottery Barn has an entire sub-category dedicated to the best sleeper sofas and daybeds so that you can transform any old space into a guest bedroom. There are makeup vanities for morning maintenance, as well as closet solutions to clear up your clutter.
Like all the best cloud beds, this plush platform lies low to the ground and feels soft to the touch. The tapered headboard creates a cocooning affect, perfect for lingering and lounging in bed.
This nightstand combines a deep drawer with an open shelf for diverse storage solutions. I love the fact that the shelf lies on top at just the right height to charge your phone overnight.
Sausalito 8-Drawer Dresser
Each of these eight drawers is finished with dovetail joints for durability and accented with little brass knobs for interest. You won’t find better quality bedroom storage.
6. Home Depot

What to buy: Mid-century modern cuts and colors
If you’re prepared to look for it, you can find some seriously good stuff at Home Depot including matching sets. I recommend the Home Decorators Collection to find classic cuts of solid wood to suit any space, though these pieces would really sparkle in a mid-century modern bedroom. If you’ve got a few minutes to spare, you could take the Home Depot Style Quiz to define your own aesthetic. I got ‘coastal’, and Home Depot sent me off to search for specific materials (rattan or wicker), colors (blues and whites), and finishes (distressed wood) to get the look, quickly.
Marsden Patina Wood Finish Bed
This bed frame is made from solid wood and finished with woven cane rattan panels for depth and dimension. I like the high-low effect of the sleigh bed: it immediately adds interest.
Marsden Patina Wood Finish Nightstand
The Marsden Nightstand combines durable materials with classic style to create a look that’s totally timeless. The handles feel like a contemporary twist.
Marsden Patina Wood Finish Chest of Drawers
This chest of drawers mixes and matches between longer, deeper drawers and shorter, shallower ones to create a real range of storage space.
7. McGee & Co.

What to buy: Shea McGee’s covetable style
The McGee & Co. style is hard to define. A mix of coastal, farmhouse, old and new, founder Shea McGee (interior designer and founder of Studio McGee – yes it’s a lot of ‘McGee) manages to strike the perfect balance with her designs that feel lived-in yet luxurious. I personally love to go onto the site’s Inspiration hub and filter by bedroom to find beautifully curated edits of furniture that fit my aesthetic. I really recommend trying.
Popular with moms to use as an alternative to a changing table, this soft blue dresser boasts a clean yet classic design. Adding a pop of color in a neutral room or a playful touch to a muted scheme, this is a beautiful piece.
Softly curved with a loose bed skirt, the Henriette bed is as timeless and feminine as it gets. Made from coated linen in an oatmeal hue, this provides a subtle base to your chosen palette.
Mackenna White Oak Nightstand
Nightstands can be quite imposing, but the light and bright nature of this white oak bedside from McGee & Co. couldn’t be further from that. Finished with vintage-style hardware for extra detail.
8. IKEA

What to buy: Creative storage solutions
The home of flat-pack furniture: it couldn’t be easier to browse, buy, and assemble IKEA bedroom furniture. IKEA stocks everything from beds, dressers, and drawers to armoires and air purifiers to elevate your space. They even make their own mattresses, though I reckon you’ll find better beds in specialist sleep stores. If you’re still scouting for ideas, take a look through the IKEA bedroom gallery. You’ll find minimalist and maximalist designs to suit small and large spaces, along with links to every single IKEA item featured in each photo.
This recycled wood frame features four spacious drawers beneath the bed, so that you can store spare bedding and clothing out of season.
This little nightstand would blend beautifully with the rest of your white bedroom ideas, though it also comes in black, white, and oak to suit any space.
I like a tall dresser: it’s a great way to make the most of vertical space. The KOPPANG 5-Drawer Dresser comes with anti-tip hardware to prevent accidents.
9. Target

What to buy: Budget-friendly designer collaborations
We all love a Target trip out. Target is best known for being budget-friendly while still delivering on style, but that only got better when they started collaborating with some of our favorite designers here at H&G. Their sell-out Threshold designed w/Studio McGee and Hearth & Hand™ with Joann Gaines’ Magnolia collections are ever popular among savvy shoppers for good reason. They offer the ladies’ signature styles at a really great price. It’s worth checking them out.
Ogden Nightstand Brown – Threshold™ designed with Studio McGee
Another burl wood piece, the Ogden Nightstand designed with Studio McGee is finished with a woodgrain pattern to elevate the open shelf and built-in drawer giving you both style and storage.
Havenstone Bed Cream – Threshold™ designed with Studio McGee
The bun feet are such a stand-out detail to elevate this otherwise simple bedframe. With just the right amount of support, the fully upholstered headboard offers a place to rest and relax.
3 Drawer Modern Wood Dresser – Hearth & Hand™ with Magnolia
In an expertly aged oak finish, designed with Joanna Gaines’ Magnolia, this compact dresser provides plenty of storage for clothing and accessories while also giving you a space to decorate with lamps and art.
Bedroom furniture FAQs
What bedroom furniture is in style?
Right now, I’m loving the look and feel of nook beds. Tucked into cozy corners, a nook bed is a great way to make the most of a small space. I’m also seeing a lot of experimental headboard ideas: I’m talking wood carvings and clashing my patterns. For my money, the hottest headboard features in the Prana Live-Edge Nightstand Bed at Anthropologie. Combining all the best bits of bed frames and nightstands, this solid wood frame celebrates the fluidity of live-edge oak.
When is bedroom furniture on sale?
The best time to buy bedroom furniture is at the end of each season. That’s when furniture stores run sales to clear old stock and make way for new pieces.
Final thoughts
Once you’ve bought the best bedroom furniture, it’s time to make the bed. You need the best pillow to support your neck and shoulders and the best bed sheets to keep you cool and comfortable. Next, it’s time to learn how to style a bed that’s pretty, yet practical.
You might have made it all the way to the end of this article in window shopping mode: you know you need new bedroom furniture, but you can’t justify the expense. If that sounds like you, I recommend you narrow the search to the best places to buy affordable furniture. You can still snag good stuff at the bigger stores, such as Target and Walmart.
