Traditional Chinese culture has a preference for the bedroom. The ancients often believed that the bed would bring them luck in life. For this reason, the ancients attached almost all symbols symbolizing good luck, longevity and happiness to their beds and bedrooms. The visual center of the bedroom is the bed. Common mahogany beds include canopy beds (such as four-post, six-post to twelve-poster dragon and phoenix canopy beds, moon-hole door canopy beds, double-moon door canopy beds, door-wall canopy beds, etc.), step beds, and movie beds. And Arhat beds, some also put a beauty couch in a well-lit area for taking a nap.
The canopy bed used to be the centerpiece of royal weddings. Even wealthy families are proud to own several models of canopy beds, which are a symbol of the family's wealth and the owner's status. According to historical records, when Yan Song, the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty, had his house confiscated, the most numerous and expensive items were canopy beds. Canopy beds have emphasized the comfort and privacy of bedding since their inception. According to Li Yu, a canopy bed can be well decorated: "Firstly, the bed should be made of flowers, secondly, the tent should be made of bones, thirdly, the tent should be locked, and fourthly, the bed should be covered with skirts."
To "make flowers on the bed" is to set up a pallet in the bed tent, cover it with colorful gauze, and then put the famous and exotic flowers that the owner likes. In winter, when there are no flowers, you can put them "in the furnace" Ambergris, Buddha's hand on the plate, papaya and fragrant nan", in this way, according to ancient literati, it is "flying, sleeping, sleeping and eating among the flowers, walking, sitting and lying down is nothing but a blissful state".
"The tent has bones" refers to setting the bed tent outside the bed. In order to avoid the soft bed tent not being straight and beautiful and the gap between it and the square bed body, the bed top and four pillars are used. Support the bed tent to make it tangible. It can be seen that the ancients used a lot of wisdom when designing and making beds. When modern people inherit the classic styles, they also inherit many of their ready-made advantages.
The bedroom is the main place for people to rest and sleep. People spend at least one-third of their lives in the bedroom. When it comes to bedroom furniture, the first thing that bears the brunt is of course the bed. In addition, there are practical items such as bedside tables, wardrobes, and dressing tables. If space allows, you can also add some other interesting bedroom furniture. When purchasing mahogany furniture for bedrooms, you should consider the owner's living area, personal preferences and actual needs, and choose furniture that you like and is suitable for. Next, let’s share some key points that you should pay attention to when purchasing mahogany furniture for bedrooms:
The first point is that in terms of material, you should pay attention to choosing furniture with stable wood properties and wood smell that is conducive to rest and sleep. Red sandalwood has sandalwood, which is good for clearing people's meridians; Huanghuali has descending fragrance, which has a good antihypertensive and orifice effect on the human body. Huanghuali wood has stable properties, while rosewood and red rosewood have moderate properties. Scientific and reasonable expansion gaps are left during the production process of the product, which is durable and not easy to deform. They are an excellent choice for bedroom furniture.
The second point is color. Try to choose warm-toned furniture such as yellow, purple, and red. Yellow includes huanghuali and other rosewoods, with huanghuali being the first choice; purple is red sandalwood, which is a traditional palace material, full of nobility and grandeur; red is red rosewood, which is what the concept of "mahogany" in traditional furniture refers to. Wood fiber has good toughness and better load-bearing performance than other materials, making furniture strong and durable. At the same time, we should also pay attention to the uniform color of bedroom furniture. It is best to use the same kind of wood for large pieces of furniture such as beds and top cabinets. If you want to do some color matching, it is best not to use more than two materials. Because if the color difference is too large, the colors will look messy, which will affect people's emotions and thus affect their sleep quality.
The third point is the height. Taking beds as an example, most of the mahogany beds currently produced by manufacturers have low styles. The selected height must not only meet people's requirements for living convenience, but also comply with traditional bedroom Feng Shui requirements.
At the same time, as for the furniture combination in the bedroom, I suggest you: in order to enliven the bedroom effect, in addition to purchasing matching bedside tables, you can also try to add a bedside table after the bedside tables of the double bed are complete. . It can also be equipped with some varied and interesting furniture, such as mahogany dressing table, crescent half table, bedside table, piano table and stool, palace chair with coffee table, incense table and flower table, etc. In this way, after resting in the bedroom, you can also burn incense, dress up, make tea and listen to the piano.
