A sweet haven of rest, a retreat of privacy, or a place to begin and end your day are all different ways to describe the same room - the bedroom.

A traditional bedroom may have matching wood pieces, pairs of lamps and predictable bed and window fabrics. Another combination idea may be a combination of furniture styles, skirted tables, colors and fabrics. Whatever style you choose, make this room your own personal design statement. Family photos, personal collections and favorite colors often find their place here since it is such a private space. Whether creating a cozy, romantic feeling or a functional and comfortable bedroom, Sowell's will be of help.

Obviously the bed takes center stage because of its size and location. Since the bed top is such a large area, it is an ideal place to display your favorite colors and fabrics. Of equal importance, is that the bed is your source of rest. Since a person spends one third of their liftetime in bed, the matress chosen should meet their comfort and health needs. The mattress size should be proportional to the room and also must fit the size and needs of the individual sleeping on it. To help meet your needs, Sowell's offers a selection of pillowtop, plush, firm and memory foam mattresses.

Bedside tables offer function and style. Unmatched tables create a unique look, especially if topped with different lamp styles. It is important that the combined height of the table and lamp offer adequate lighting for nighttime reading as well as an attractive look.

For maximum storage in the bedroom, dressers with mirrors, chests, and armoires may fulfill this need.

Today's bedrooms often allow areas for additional activities thus requiring additional furniture pieces. Comfortable chairs, entertainment centers, computer desks are common in making most of this room.
