Here are smart tips — tailored to shopping at ARV Furniture in Mississauga — for choosing the right bedroom set, plus top product picks you can use for inspiration.

1.Measure Your Space
Before browsing, measure your bedroom: room length & width, ceiling height, doorways, window placements and walking paths. The store’s blog emphasises accurate measuring to ensure the furniture fits well.

Leave space for walking paths (~2-3 ft / ~60-90 cm) especially around the bed and storage pieces.

Check any bed drawers or storage mechanism: clearance needed for them to open smoothly.

2. Define Your Needs & Bed Size
Decide whether you need just the bed or a full bedroom set (bed + dresser + mirror + chest + nightstands).

Match the bed size to the room — e.g., queen or king only if you have space. Oversized beds in small rooms reduce flow and comfort.

3.Style & Finish
Match the look of the set to your décor: modern, traditional, rustic, contemporary. Consider the finish quality: solid wood vs veneer, metal vs upholstery.

Don’t get locked into overly trendy details unless you’re ready to update décor more often — timeless designs give longer usability.

4. Storage & Functionality
Storage is key — especially in smaller spaces. Look for beds with built-in drawers or hydraulic lift, dressers/nightstands with ample drawers, chests for vertical storage.

Consider how you live: Do you need a bench at the foot of the bed? Do you want extra seating or a reading nook? (The placement blog offers tips on this too.)

5. Quality & Support
Check materials: solid wood is stronger but costlier, engineered wood + veneer still good. For upholstered headboards/beds ensure the fabric, stitching and frame are durable.

Make sure mattress support is sufficient — slats, platform base — and compatible with your mattress preference.

6.Placement & Flow
How you place the set in the room matters. The bed should ideally go against the largest solid wall, avoid blocking windows.

Keep pathways clear, leave room for drawers to open, and avoid placing bulky items where they hamper door/window access.

7. Long-Term Considerations
Opt for classic design rather than something ultra-trendy unless you plan to redecorate soon. Think ahead: if your space or needs change, will the set adapt?

8. Delivery & Assembly
At ARV Furniture you’ll want to check delivery zones (Ontario wide) and whether professional assembly is included. Confirm warranty and after-sales support.
