Materials And Finishes
A Guide To Common Materials
And Finishes For A Bedroom
When it comes to materials & finishes for bedrooms, there
are endless options to choose from. But there are certain
things to keep in mind when choosing in terms strength,
durability, moisture resistance and ease of maintenance. This
guide will help you understand & choose the right material &
finish for your bedroom.
Common Materials For A Bedroom
Metal:
Metal in the form of rods, railing, support structure, sheets,
cladding, piped are used in bedrooms for specific interior
design styles such as industrial, rustic, contemporary.
MDF:
Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) is often used in
bedrooms as this material isn’t water-resistant and therefore
only used in dry spaces. MDF is strong and is ideal to make
wardrobes, cots, TV units, study units and decorative pieces
of furniture.
PLY:
Just like MDF, plywood is a common choice for use in
bedrooms as they are strong, durable and lightweight. This
material is not ideal for wet areas such as kitchens are best
suited for to build wardrobe structures, cots et al.

HDF:
High-Density Fiberboard is used in bedrooms in place of
MDF in an area where increased strength and rigidity is
required. Used often in multi-functional furniture that has
moving mechanisms, HDF offers durability for Murphy beds,
mirror pull-outs and in wardrobes with in-built TV units. This
material is more water resistant than MDF.
Particle Boards:
This material is made by binding together wooden panels
made of wood chips using a resin. They are lightweight and
are used in place of plywood as they are relatively cheaper.
They can be used to build wall partitions, false ceilings,
shelves, study desks and cabinets.
Common Finishes For A Bedroom
Veneer:
Veneers are made from original timber and hence are unique.
No two are the same. And is this uniqueness of veneer that
makes it an ideal choice for use in a bedroom or master
bedroom to be more specific. Veneers come in limited
varieties and are quite expensive. They require more
maintenance compared to other finishes, as they require re-
polishing once in a while. They are natural and hence give an
aura of opulence, class and elegance to a bedroom. Any finish
that’s naturally available trumps synthetic finishes like
laminates or acrylic. Hence veneers are often used in
bedrooms in wardrobes, cots, dressers, TV Units and study
areas.
Laminate:
Laminates are designed to mimic real wood or veneers. They
come in a wide variety of patterns, colours both in matte and
glossy variants. Though they are manufactured in a factory
they are ideal when the cost of natural wood or the limited
selection of veneers isn’t enough to design the bedroom of
your dreams. Laminates require less maintenance and
therefore make an excellent choice for use in guest and
children’s bedrooms.
Lacquer Glass:
Lacquered glass is often used in the bedroom because of their
high lustre and decadent look and feel. They are expensive
and are commonly used sparingly in other rooms and are
mostly reserved for bedroom wardrobes and TV Units.
Mirror:
Most commonly used when designing master bedrooms as it
renders any design a luxurious, upscale vibe. Several varieties
come in tinted colours, frosted, pattern designs etc. Mirrors
are used on walls, wardrobe shutters, TV Panels et al.
Opaque Or Coloured Glass:
Just like the lacquered glass opaque or coloured glasses are
used in the bedrooms to add a radiant look. They are rich and
are a commonly used master bedroom and are mostly used
for wardrobes and TV Units in the bedroom.
