Buying a new bed is an excellent way to update the look of your bedroom or upgrade from a smaller bed. Four-poster beds offer a classic and romantic look to any bedroom and look great with any shade of paint and decorating scheme. Before you spend your money on a new four-poster bed or commit to making monthly payments, take a few steps to ensure that you will be happy with your purchase. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Decide what type of bed you want. Four-poster beds are available in a variety of wood finishes, including cherry and walnut. Beds made of metal are also available. Decide on a bed size. Select twin or full if only one person will be occupying the bed, queen or king if the bed will be occupied by two people.
2. Measure your room. If you're keeping most of your current furnishings, make sure your new bed will fit without causing your living space to feel cramped. Also verify your room's ceiling height with your measuring tape. The posts on a four-poster bed vary in height, and it would be disappointing if your new purchase were too tall to fit in your bedroom.
3. Check local ads. Keep an eye out for sales on the type of bed you want. Many furniture stores advertise sales and current discounts regularly. If the furniture store you plan to purchase from does price matching--offering the same price as another local or online furniture store on a similar item--make sure you have the other store's ad handy.
4. Visit a furniture store. Speak with an associate and tell him which four-poster bed you are interested in. Some stores will offer a discount on a mattress if you buy one with your bed, so ask the associate about it.
5. Pay for your new bed. Furniture stores generally accept money orders, credit/debit cards and cash. Financing is also available--ask the finance department about interest rates and other options. Some stores will finance your purchase for a certain length of time, such as 90 days, without interest.
