Modern Bedroom Furniture – Making Nighttime Easy by Jesse Akre

If you are looking for furniture that is looking out for you, you should stick to the category of bedroom furniture.

The key to modern bedroom furniture is function over form. While this may not mean much to you as a saying, when it comes to certain bedroom conditions, the simplicity of modern bedroom furniture offers an ability to get around without too much trouble.

While you know where things are in your bedroom when the lights are on, how well can you negotiate the space when the lights are out? This same space can seem like a totally different location without illumination. When the lights are out all that furniture can become the evil enemy.

Consider this scenario. You have to go to work very early, before the sun comes up, and your spouse is sleeping. While you don’t want to wake them up, you need to get around the room and get yourself ready for work.

While you could do a little pre-planning, and have your clothing set out before you leave, you still have to get around the room to get to the bathroom and make your final arrangements to get out the door.

The furniture you have put into your room and where you have put it will make a major difference in how easy or painful this process can be.

First, let's set this scenario in a room with fancy Victorian furniture. The tables, chairs and other pieces in the room have sweeping cabriolet legs, fancy edges, and are larger than life. From the time you get out of the bed, your mind makes sense of where things should fit in the room but the first thing you notice is that the leg on your nightstand curves outwards, because you have slammed your shin into it. Next, you move towards the dresser. Simultaneously your stomach hits that fancy, outstretched corner of the dresser top, and your toe stumps into that protruding claw foot. While you may not have turned on the lights, you will still likely wake up your spouse when you cry out in pain.

Now, let's offer this same scenario once again, but this time with modern bedroom furniture. When you get out of the bed, your shin will stay intact, as the legs on a modern night table would never stick out. They will be exactly where they belong, under the table, holding it up. Next, move on to the dresser. Your hand will find the top of the dresser before the rest of your body finds the protruding pieces, because there are no protruding pieces.

Modern bedroom furniture pieces were created to be just the right size to do their job, and not to have any excess material that you don't need. When you are negotiating a room in the dark, this means there really is more floor space to make your way around, and less of an opportunity to cause any damage to your body in collisions with any pieces of the furniture.
