Features, pros and cons
Today in Italy they produce not only classic, but also modern furniture, therefore, before buying an Italian bedroom, you need to decide on the interior concept. Italian furniture is perfect not only for "palace styles" (rococo, empire, baroque), but also for modern design trends like art deco, country, modern and even hi-tech.
Italian furniture has the following advantages:
- High quality components... Fittings and fasteners are reliable and durable; for varnishing and painting, stable and, moreover, harmless to health compositions are used.
- Diverse design. Each furniture manufacturer in Italy has its own style, traditions, but at the same time follows the innovations in the furniture industry. Harmonious shapes and carefully thought-out color combinations are characteristic of Italian furniture regardless of style.
- Multifunctionality. The lineup implies the availability of different sizes of the offered furniture. Thanks to this, small rooms in city apartments can be decorated with Italian furniture.
- Exclusivity and prestige. Italian furniture will satisfy the most discerning buyers - it is a combination of good taste, quality and luxury.
- Comfort. When creating a bed, manufacturers focus not only on beauty and grace, but also on orthopedic requirements and European standards.
The disadvantages can be considered:
- The high cost of foreign products compared to domestic ones. However, Italian furniture is inferior in quality not only to domestic, but also to European counterparts.
- The presence of a large number of fakes.
- Natural materials. Wood does not tolerate high temperatures and high humidity and, as you know, it is a highly flammable material. Manufacturers are trying to minimize these shortcomings by using modern technologies in production.
- Severity. Wooden furniture has a fairly large weight, it becomes noticeable during transportation and installation, but at the same time it is stable. In the presence of small children who like to climb on shelves, open drawers, or doors, this moment is especially relevant.
A special feature of Italian furniture is its warm color scheme. Traditionally, these are beige shades that perfectly complement the basic brown tones. However, there are exceptions. Headsets made in white are gaining more and more popularity. The base color is the color of the wood, additional shades are added with decorative elements: using gilding and inlay.
Materials (edit)
For the production of Italian bedrooms, such types of wood as walnut, cherry, oak, beech, alder and others are used. Products made from natural wood are in demand due to their natural texture and environmental friendliness. Most of the models presented on the Internet are made of solid wood. The base of the frame can be either a wood board, a glued array made up of small pieces of wood, or MDF.
Industrial technologies do not stand still, and materials that are not inferior in quality to natural materials are increasingly appearing in the production of furniture.
The list of materials used for finishing and decorating furniture by Italian designers is very diverse: genuine leather, silk, linen, fur and others.... In the case of luxury bedrooms, precious metals, crocodile leather and ivory are used. Italian furniture is always lavishly decorated with carvings, inlays and wrought iron elements.
Accessories
An Italian bedroom implies a complete and harmonious look, which can be achieved with the help of accessories. The bed is the face of the entire bedroom, so you need to be serious about the choice of bedspreads.
Curtains with unusual patterns and decorative pillows in harmony with the bedspread will add grace and integrity to the entire interior.
When choosing floor decoration, you can give your preference not only to stone, but also to wood. Untreated wood will look more advantageous in the Italian style.
An interesting option for the walls will be painting, in the modern version - photographs reflecting rural landscapes or still lifes.
Lighting in the bedroom should be comfortable and sufficient, but at the same time dim to create an atmosphere of comfort and relaxation. It is worth thinking about two types of lighting: primary and secondary. When choosing it, try to choose chandeliers and lamps in a single style solution.

Traditional Italian bedroom sets usually consist of bedside tables, a wardrobe, a chest of drawers, a mirror and a bed. The main element of the interior is the bed, the headboard of which becomes the main highlight of the room.

Selection Tips
Which furniture to give preference to is not an easy question. However, the following points should be considered:
- The dimensions of the room. The bed should occupy no more than 40% of the room area.
- Color combination bedroom structures and decor of the ceiling, walls and accessories.
- Furniture style. It should also match the overall design of the room.
- Furniture color. The presence of children or pets is a reason to refuse white furniture. Excessive washing with household chemicals or mechanical damage with claws and teeth will negatively affect the appearance of your furniture.
- Height. The size of the bed and the bed is not the same. The decor often eats up the sleeping space and the bed, which is spacious in appearance, may turn out to be standard in size.
When choosing furniture, price-quality ratio is always taken into account. Italian furniture does not always mean a high cost, so there are several ways to buy it at a lower price:
- Virtual marketplaces offer Italian furniture at a lower price than traditional furniture centers.
- Online stores do not pay for the rental of shopping places and this affects the price.Sometimes the difference in cost for the same model can be up to 15%. However, there is a risk of colliding with pseudo-Italian furniture.
- It makes sense to find the site of the factory abroad and carefully study the selected model, and then find the official representative of this company in your locality.
It is better to give preference to long-standing and well-known companies. The salon, which really cooperates with the company, will offer a potential buyer to choose furniture from the catalog posted on the company's website.
