In most bedrooms, you’ll find at least three core pieces: a bed (bed frame and mattress), one to two nightstands, and a chest of drawers or a dresser. Depending on the available space, the bedroom might also have a bench chair, side table, or a wall-mounted or freestanding mirror. The dresser might have a vanity mirror on top, combining two furniture pieces in one.

Some bedrooms function strictly as places to sleep, while others have lounging areas with comfortable padded armchairs and a coffee table. They might also have a bookshelf or a TV table.

It depends! Your budget varies based on your needs and how much you’re comfortable paying.

For more affordable pieces, expect to pay about $2,500 or under. More moderate budgets range from $3,000 or under. If you’re looking for higher-quality or luxury pieces, your budget can range from $4,000 to $12,000.

The above cost estimates focus on the core bedroom pieces. Adding other furniture to your space increases costs. Planning out your furniture upgrades gives you a better idea of the overall cost and ensure you don't have to make sudden purchases for something you forgot.
