Just a quick update this where we wanted to point out one of other sites that looks at Mexican Pine Furniture where as you would expect they look at Bedroom Furniture with a Mexican Style.
There are a number of ranges in the UK that match the criteria that would be considered Mexican. Normally the wood is pine, it is often lightly distressed and comes with antique style metal handles.
The fact that pine is often used is more a necessity of cost than anything else and we have looked at some ranges made from solid oak. Some manufactures even go as far adding pretend woodworm holes in the furniture for that fully authentic Mexican feel. The handles are normally round brushed metal although there are some collections that have a slight twist on this.
Cheap Bedroom Furniture
Recently we have been doing a lot of reporting on various different types and styles of Furniture and in the current economic climate it does appear that customers are looking to save by going that extra mile to grab a bargain.
I think sometimes you miss the most obvious choice and it is pretty clear that the value that Ikea Bedroom Furniture offers is amongst the best you will find not matter how much research you do.
Ikea have been going for years and now are really well established across the UK with stores either in or very close to every major UK city.
In saying that there are some styles that Ikea simply do not seem to offer we come across this when updating our Mexican Pine Furniture site and it became clear that the best value can be found either at independents or in fact a major site like Amazon.
Another option if you are looking for a cheap price is to consider Argos whilst most of the furniture is of the cheap flat packed variety the price point is very aggressively pitched.

The Importance Of Being Idle
It may sometimes be boring, or uneventful but we should never under-estimate the need for good quality sleep. Once we get into sleep "debt" its very hard to repay, and we can often suffer in our waking lives. That is why it is important to get a good nights sleep on a good quality bed.We all know how important it is to get a good nights sleep but we are told the average person requires around 7.5-9 hours of sleep per night. Sleep is not just important, but it is essential for lots of reasons. Some of these include:
- To reduce stress.
- To repair our bodies, ready for the following day.
- To form connections in our brain and help file away memories of the day.
Our sponsors have a wide range of beds, including oak beds, at an affordable price and delivered to a room of your choosing for free!
Spot The Difference
Both shabby chic and rustic are very similar in their appearance and build, so much so in fact it is really quite difficult to tell them apart. Generally speaking rustic is something that should look "worn" and shabby chic should also appear worn, however the key difference in my experience is shabby chic should also have an air of elegance, femininity some might say. The great thing is that both styles could actually go into the same room and not look out of place provided they matched in terms of colour.
One final note before I go, and that is people generally believe buying unfinished furniture will save them money, however it isnt always true, once you factor in cost of materials, and the risk you run in ruining the unfinished furniture. If you need some help or advice feel free to get in touch.
Bedroom Furniture Styles
There are a vast range of styles of bedroom furniture available and then there are a vast range of quality or should that be qualities. I have worked in the furniture industry for more years than I care to mention and I set this site up as something of an independent buying guide.
Before buying any bedroom furniture I think the very first question to ask yourself is budget. A good benchmark product is bedsides and lets look at average prices and what would be the best buy in each.
Bedsides Sub £30
In this price range you are really limited to flat pack veneered furniture which is not fitted. Likely sources are Ikea or Argos, Argos in fact do offer quite a comprehensive range of furniture at least I was surprised by just how big their offer was.
Bedsides £50 - £100
You can get some low quality pre assembled furniture in this price range. If you are trying to balance quality with price you would be best advised to source some high quality flat pack furniture from the likes of Core Products. We've covered some of their ranges with prices over on Mexican Pine Furniture, your not limited to that style though as a few companies do some solid flat pack furniture and some even have dovetailed joints.
Bedsides £100+
Moving here into the high end market and certainly into fitted bedroom furniture territory. Marks and Spencer's and Heals are expensive whilst the quality is mediocre you should at least be sure of getting a good high level of service. There are quite a few new players in the quality furniture market and stores like Right Price Furniture, Oak Furniture Land are worth a try, you are mainly looking at Solid Wooden Furniture there but they are not really well known names.
Then there is fitted of course, the quality of materials in fitted bedroom furniture is not normally that fantastic but sometimes if you want to make use of space then you are left with little choice.
Somewhere in the mix are companies like Rauch and Nolte who offer some huge wardrobes with bags of storage space and whilst the material quality is not solid wood the workmanship that has gone into making the furniture is normally very high.
Well I hope that helps in some way over the coming months we will take a closer look at various bedroom furniture styles.

Distressed Furniture
The latest fashion in furniture right now is making new furniture, look old. There are a ton of websites where you can learn how to distress furniture, but often it means literally battering your furniture with hammers and chains and using coloring chemicals such as paint and varnish etc to achieve a worn look.
This method isn't suitable for everyone and if it all goes wrong then your new furniture could end up broken and/or ruined. Instead I decided to buy a storage trunk box that suited me and matched the style of my 'shabby chic' bedroom.
It arrived within 2 weeks and the build quality is really impressive and solid. The delivery guys even took my distressed furniture up to my bedroom for me, for free. I thought it was really cheap, for distressed furniture considering its made from solid mango and already has a distressed furniture appearance saving me from getting the hammer and paint out of the storage cupboard, which is always nice.
