At FCI, we require brands to meet our stringent quality standards before being part of our curated showroom. We aim to present collections that elevate your lifestyle and guarantee you the best quality and variety of luxury furniture collection in London.
The lasting impact of good quality furniture
More than just a resting space, your bedroom allows you to escape and enjoy time away from other stresses, surrounded by things that are personal to you. To do this successfully, it's imperative to create a sanctuary that promotes sleep, enhances your wellness and makes you feel pampered and at ease.
Making thoughtful decor choices involves the use of quality bedroom furniture sets, an ergonomic mattress, at least one bedside table and plenty of well-considered storage.
Here are the benefits of getting this right:
Comfort and support
Our mental and physical health relies heavily on a great night's sleep, making a superior mattress the epicentre of any successful bedroom design. Find one that offers optimal lumbar support and ample cushioning for the rest of your body.Also, don't underestimate the value of an opulent headboard as, if well padded, it will keep you comfortable while sitting and reading.
Elevated aesthetics
Most luxury brands create modern bedroom furniture that adds aesthetic appeal to your space, increasing your enjoyment of spending quality time alone.To achieve this, indulge in timeless choices that reflect your personality, instil a sense of ease and bring you joy.
No clutter
Industry professionals will tell you that creating order is a non-negotiable part of fine design and will help you unwind after a busy day. Bespoke wardrobes, an elegant nightstand, a storage bed, a stylish chest of drawers and a quality dresser are all items that will help you mitigate bedroom mess, ensuring a clean, clutter-free room.
Good health
High-end furniture sets are usually made from carefully sourced materials that are hypoallergenic and free from toxic substances. This will enhance air quality, help you sleep better, and reduce the chances of attracting spores and dust mites that could affect your health. Additionally, ergonomically designed beds, seating and tables will promote good posture and relaxed muscles.
Sustainability
The concept of sustainability has many facets. Aside from a reduced carbon footprint garnered from using eco-friendly resources, it also speaks of durability achieved through masterful craftsmanship, which leads to the increased lifespan of each furniture piece. Moreover, thoughtful bedroom aesthetics using timeless design will boost the longevity of your decor style, so you won't have to update your space as often.
Emotional wellness
Loving your surroundings, especially in a personal environment, leads to happiness, lower stress levels, an elevated mood and general emotional stability. Soft textiles, calming colours, deep comfort and unique, hand-selected accessories all contribute to a sense of nurturing that makes you feel safe and relaxed.
Sound investment
Although your initial outlay will be higher, investing in a quality bedroom set will ensure that it lasts for decades, saving you money long-term. Furthermore, because it enhances your health, adds visual impact and has a purpose, you will be supporting an elevated level of contentment that, in itself, is priceless.
Bedroom furniture maintenance
All good bedroom sets need to be properly cared for in order to prolong their lifespan and keep them looking as good as new. Keeping them clean is the first step, so vacuum or dust them regularly. Look out for signs of wear and tear and get them fixed immediately. You also need to use your furniture appropriately - allowing your children to bounce on your bed, for example, will do damage to your mattress and frame, causing them to fall apart sooner than they should.
Have your mattress professionally cleaned at least once a year to keep it clean and free from dust mites.
The most popular bedroom styles
While it's always fun to indulge in the latest trends when choosing a bedroom set, sticking to a timeless design will give you long-term satisfaction and add to the permanence of your home's decor. After all, luxury furniture is an investment, so changing it every couple of years is an expensive endeavour.
Making choices that are balanced, future-proof and functional is key, which is why the following three styles have maintained their popularity despite passing fads:
Classic
Based on traditional design principles, this style exudes comfort, warmth, sophistication and features distinctive elements like solid wood furniture, elegant lighting, plush textiles and warm, neutral colours.
Contemporary
This genre has been around since the 70s and embraces open-concept spaces that promote airiness. Cool neutrals, biophilic design and striking accents are prominent aspects with plenty of room to embrace individuality.
Minimalist
The three main pillars of minimalism lie in simplicity, functionality and a sense of order, bringing balance to your home. To get this right, invest in monochromatic colours, purposeful decor and plenty of storage.

Must-haves for contemporary bedrooms:
A platform bed

Smart nightstands
Next-level and extremely on-trend, these bedside tables combine traditional storage with modern technology. Think USB ports, speakers, electrical outlets and chargers.
A minimalist dressing table
Simple and elegant, vanities set the tone of a well-organised room, bringing clean lines and personality. The size of the table can vary depending on how much space you have to spare.
An accent chair
Having a place to sit within a bedroom environment allows you to create a personal nook for reading and relaxing. Find one with plush upholstery for added comfort.
A mirrored wardrobe
Reflective surfaces help to add a sense of space, depth and dimension to small or dark areas, so consider including them as a finish on your customised cabinetry.
Modern artwork
Adding accessories to a bedroom will help to personalise your style, bringing in an extra focal point that has sentimental value and defines your character.
Functional lighting
Bedrooms are home to a variety of activities including sleep, reading, resting and dressing, which means that your lighting choices have to be both focused and ambient.
Area rugs
Aside from adding warmth, texture and colour to your decor, rugs help to reduce noise, define zones and protect your flooring, making them a must-have in any bedroom.
Quality linens
Investing in high-end linen is essential for your health as it improves sleep quality. It will also add a luxurious appeal, durability and extra comfort to your space.
Shelves
Well-considered, quality shelving will increase your storage capabilities, ensuring that your room remains ordered and clutter-free.
Bedroom benches
Often positioned at the bottom of a bed or near a window, these provide a surface for clothing and linen or just a place to sit and relax.
Eco-friendly elements
Add planters and other biophilic design elements as they will keep you connected to nature and enhance a sense of tranquillity and ease.
Choosing the right bedroom furniture
Selecting bedroom furniture is a personal process so it’s important to compile your aesthetics from elements that make you feel happy and relaxed. However, getting good advice and exploring your options are always a good idea and will help you solidify your vision.
Here are some great tips from our design team:
Measure up
Make sure that you measure your space accurately and draw the room to scale. Remember to include existing fixtures, windows, doors and any other architectural features that may affect your floorplan.
Create a mood board
This will help you to decide on your colour palette, textiles and overall style before you work on your room planner.
Consider your layout
Functionality and flow are key elements for any successful bedroom design, so think about where you are going to put your furniture, leaving enough space to walk around it with ease. We suggest that you position your bed first and then plan the rest of the furniture around it.
Select the right beds
This is the most crucial element of your room. Your mattress should give optimal support and the right firmness, so we suggest you test out samples in-store. You also need a frame and headboard that are functional, aesthetically pleasing and fit the dimensions of your room. A king-size or queen bedroom set is ideal for expansive spaces but if you have any constraints, consider a divan bed that offers extra storage in the base.
Find complementary bedroom collections
The rest of your decor should align with the style of your bed and consist of elements that add functionality and effortlessness to your ensemble. Think about options like a mirrored dresser, chest of drawers, nightstands and a customised wardrobe.
Get your dimensions right
All of your decor should be in proportion so that none dominates the others. The height of your bedside tables should be in line with the top of your mattress, and you should leave at least 760 mm around your bed to allow for foot traffic.
Bedroom furniture for other spaces
When carrying your aesthetic outside of the master bedroom, there may be additional design constraints or alternative elements to consider, like the following:
Kids bedroom furniture
This is made to size, enhancing accessibility for your children, and allowing them to navigate their space without risking harm, while maintaining the theme of your home design. Custom built elements include kids' beds, dressers, nightstands and wardrobes.
Home office furniture
Aside from a desk and office chairs, your workspace may have room for additional seating, which may allow the opportunity to invest in a sofa bed, which provides additional seating, as well as additional room for guests. Multiple purpose pieces help maximise the utility of available space, and are also great options for living room furniture.
The latest trends in bedroom furniture
Home decor trends are worth keeping an eye on as they open up new design possibilities and can help you discover concepts that suit your personal taste. Developing your design vision is important as fresh styles flood the market, however, maintaining a curated style can prevent the need for continual upgrades, which can become costly, without bringing real value to your home. Instead, look for timeless furniture that is designed to be loved well into the future.
Fitted bedroom furniture
This usually refers to customised wardrobes, which are essential if you're looking to optimise your space seamlessly.They are designed to cater to all your needs and, aside from hanging spaces, drawers and shelving, can include a myriad of smart storage solutions and lifestyle features. Walk-in wardrobes are the cream of the crop and often include opulent additions like laundry baskets, island peninsulas, tie and shoe racks, dressing tables and even bar counters and lounge areas.
White bedroom furniture sets
White has become a bedroom staple, giving your space a fresh, clean feel. It also acts as a blank canvas that will compliment pops of colour and texture. White gloss furniture has a gorgeous sheen, and its reflective surface brings dimension, brightness and a sense of space to your ensemble.

Diverse styles and materials
If you enjoy doing something different and are willing to experiment, then mixing and matching different styles is a popular new trend and will produce an eclectic aesthetic.However, to do this effectively you will need to exercise restraint. Pick one main genre and introduce a second to create different accents. Getting this right requires a creative eye and a commitment to choosing styles that have common elements.You can do the same thing using different materials to add contrast to your spaces. Industrial design, for example, looks great paired with rustic wood.
