You want to give a newlywed couple your blessings for starting a new life. As a pre-wedding gift, most people choose something that will make their lives easier. And what would a newlywed couple appreciate more than a well-furnished bedroom? Giving them the necessary furniture to set up their bedroom will relieve them from at least one chore to worry about.

It is understandable that you may wish to keep it a surprise. However, for something this big that comes with a truckload, you may need to solicit the opinions of those who will actually be using them. Try to get a sense of their likes and dislikes. Share with them or implicitly hint that you want to make this gesture — maybe as a parent, in-law, or a well-wisher.

First, you need to assess their needs. In furniture, do they like light colours that feel soft and peaceful, or vibrant hues that add energy and vigour to the space? Moreover, try to find out beforehand what colour their walls are painted.

Armed with insights into their preference, try to set a theme for their furniture. It is important to choose a wooden colour palette before setting your sights on any particular furniture.

Try to do a small survey of the room before making your purchase to better understand the size and layout. You do not want to get an oversized bed that blocks the window or leaves no room to walk. Opt for a regular queen-sized bed if the room is small. If they prefer darker themes, try to get them a mahogany wooden wardrobe that goes well with both light and vibrant-coloured walls.

For a bigger room, opt for a large wardrobe, spacious enough for both to have their compartments for clothes, jewellery, and other accessories.

For a room with light-coloured walls, opt for a walnut-coloured wardrobe. Also, you should keep the furniture and wall colours in harmony so that they reflect light, requiring less artificial lighting, helping the couple save on electricity bills.

Besides, a dressing table should belong to every self-respecting newlywed bride as she will be attending many invitations and family programmes following their wedding, and she will want to look her best when appearing in front of her in-laws and new relatives.

A bedside table goes a long way for a couple to keep their personal belongings such as medicines, books, or a phone charger. If the room is big enough, opt for two bedside tables, one on each side. A lamp over the bedside table can give a final touch to the room, allowing the spouses to romanticise a little light reading.

Finally, getting the couple all this furniture does not necessarily have to empty your bank account. Look for a furniture brand that offers Equated Monthly Instalments (EMI), allowing you to pay for your purchases in equal monthly payments. This option can help you pay off the furniture bills in manageable portions.
