This design innovation is what makes the Johannesburg-based company a firm favourite with designers and homeowners looking for quality furniture that is designed to be used.

One area in which Topolansky’s designs really shines is the bedroom.

The company stocks a wide range of beds, headboards and bedside cabinets, as well as other decorative items for your sleep space.

Here the Topolansky team share five tips for creating a designer bedroom.

Don’t cramp the space

Bedrooms should provide a soothing retreat at the end of a busy day. A cramped and cluttered space will have the exact opposite effect. So, be selective when it comes to decorating your bedroom and be sure to choose functional pieces that are correctly sized and proportioned for the space.

Storage is key

To ensure your bedroom stays clutter-free, invest in sufficient storage such as dressers or beautiful baskets. Ottomans with built-in storage at the foot of the bed is another great option.

Choose subdued colours

To help create a calm, soothing space, opt for soft, subdued colours that evoke feelings of peace and tranquillity. Warm neutrals and soft blues are great options.

Make the space symmetrical

Bedrooms exude an air of calmness when the design is symmetrical and balanced. That means matching bedside tables and lamps, as well as balancing large furniture pieces and windows with one another.

Choose the correct size bed

There’s nothing worse than a bed that is too large (or small) for a space. So be sure to carefully measure your room and choose a bed size that will fit not only fit in the space but that will also leave space for bedside tables on either side.

Whatever size bed you may need, you are sure to find it at Topolansky. Great options include the 4 Poster King bed, Sleigh Bed Double or Boston Bed Single. There’s also the beautiful Costa Headboard Rattan Queen.
