Furniture For The Bedroom, Dining Room and Kitchen
In the last of this series on home furniture we're going to cover the bedroom, dining room and kitchen.
It's strange how most of the time we spend in our bedrooms is sleeping and yet some of the most beautiful furniture made is for bedrooms. The beds alone come in so many shapes, sizes and styles that you could write a book on them. There is probably nothing more beautiful than a canopy bed but there's more to your common bedroom than just the bed.
Most bedrooms sandwich their beds between a couple of night tables, especially if you're a couple. Lamps, alarm clocks and photos are what you'll most commonly find on these tables which are almost always a matched set unless you buy your pieces separately.

Bedroom Decor
Finishing off the bedroom decor is usually a tall dresser and a long dresser. These are also a matched set to each other and the end tables. The dressers are where most of your clothes that don't need to be hung are kept such as socks, underwear, and other unmentionables.
Even the largest bedroom is relatively small compared to the rest of the home so these pieces are relatively small. Of course once the drawers are filled it takes an army of moving men to budge them even two feet. Moving to the dining room this is also a relatively small room. Your common dining room has a dining room table which can be made of a number of materials similar to the materials that living room tables are made of, wood, glass, etc. Dining room tables however are almost always rectangular in order to accommodate a standard party of six. If more room is needed many dining room tables pull apart in the center allowing you to insert what they call leaves. These leaves can increase the size of the table by a good 2 or 3 feet.
Dining Room
Around the dining room table are the chairs, which are usually a matched set unless you buy them separately. Most dining room chairs are honestly not very comfortable and not meant to be sat in for long periods of time.
Rounding out your dining room is usually a china cabinet, credenza, sideboard, server, and serving cart. These are used to store your china, silverware and other items used when offering up a gourmet meal to your guests or even just to your family. It's also funny how not a lot of time is spent in a dining room yet the furniture we put in it is nothing short of exquisite.
Kitchen
Finally we arrive at the kitchen. Another room we don't spend a lot of time in and ironically most of the items in a common kitchen are built in. The amount of furniture one would buy for their kitchen amounts to a kitchen table and a few chairs. Of course for people who have no dining room then this can get a little more elaborate, incorporating some of the furniture one would find in a common dining room. Instead of a round kitchen table which all that would fit in a common kitchen one might find a longer dining room type table if room permits.
