I think of the bedroom as the most private and most intimate part of a home. Because the bedroom is the only private place in a home, it is often designed in a romantic way, and has only a night table and a bed. Depending on your tastes, your bedroom might have a king or queen-sized bed, dressers, closets, or even a small couch. Other people also use their bedrooms to double as a small study, complete with a bookcase, desk, chairs, and even a computer. Several bedrooms even have television sets or entertainment centers inside. Bedroom furniture jargon sometimes befuddle a lot of people, even though they see them often in furniture-related books, magazines and websites. Heres a short list of the most common bedroom terms and their definitions. Armoire This is a large, often ornate and movable wardrobe, usually having one or two doors.
