The Pros and Cons of Investing in a Matching Bedroom Set

Bedroom sets can be an easy way to purchase everything you need for a new home. Furniture stores often have appealing displays featuring large, matching bedroom sets, which can leave you wondering: “is this the way to go?”

If you’ve never owned new furniture or matching furniture, this can feel like a big step so we offer you a few pros and cons on whether or not you should invest in a matching bedroom set.

Pros:

Better deals

Furniture stores will often give deeper discounts for sets purchased together

Fast fix

A bedroom set will do most of your decorating for you, so if you’re short on time this will help

Allows you to start from scratch

If, for whatever reason, you are starting from scratch with your decor and you have an empty room to play with, a bedroom set will allow you to get it quickly furnished without having to hunt for new pieces.

Cons:

Lacks personality

Bedroom sets are sold in high quantities to many different people, living very different walks of life. For this reason, bedroom sets will often be rather bland and unassuming, so as to appeal to the widest possible number of people

Can become quickly out-dated

While we love a carefully styled 1970s dresser, we would hate to see an entire room done up this way. Sets can be very indicative of the times they were designed in and can quickly make your space feel out-dated.

If you love a certain design style, like Artesanos Design’s industrial and dark wood ‘Aspen’ set or West Elm’s light and modern ‘Harmony’ set, we encourage to buy different pieces from the set but not necessarily lock yourself into the entire set. This will allow your furniture to have a similar feel without looking like it all came packed together in a box.
