Your bedroom should be more than just a place to sleep — it’s your personal retreat at the end of the day. Perhaps more than any other space, the master bedroom (also known as the primary bedroom) should be the one place where you can truly kick back, relax, and feel at home. But what if your bedroom just isn’t doing it for you anymore? If so, it’s time for a bedroom furniture refresh!
However, that leads us to a FAQ we hear regularly online and in our furniture stores — “How much will it cost to furnish my master bedroom?” Whether starting fresh in a new home or upgrading a space they’ve had for years, this is naturally one of the first questions customers have when they first embark on their bedroom furniture shopping journey.

Optional / Upgrade Items to Consider
While master bedrooms are the largest bedroom in the house, they come in all shapes and sizes. Depending on the amount of available floor space, your decorative preferences, and your budget, the following additional items may also be worth considering:
- Bedside benches, dressing benches, or vanities
- Additional clothing storage (chest of drawers, lingerie chests, armoires, etc.)
- Adjustable mattress bases for better sleep quality and numerous health benefits
- Accent chairs, loveseats, or other upholstery for roomy bedrooms with seating areas
- Area rugs for bedrooms with non-carpeted flooring
- Lamps & lighting upgrades
- Wall art or decorative mirrors
Factors That Influence Master Bedroom Furniture Cost
The bottom-line of what you can expect to spend to furnish a master bedroom can vary depending on a few factors, including those below:
- Bed Size (King vs Queen) – As one would expect, the larger the size, the more expensive beds will be. This also extends to items like mattresses, mattress bases, pillows and bedding.
- Size of Room & Floor Plan – Similar as above, the larger the room, the more space there is to fill with furniture. Where a smaller bedroom may only require a single dresser or chest of drawers, large master bedrooms will allow for even more storage options if needed.
- Material Quality & Construction Method – Bedroom casegoods like beds, chests and dressers are made from a variety of materials using a variety of different methods. As with anything, more expensive materials and higher build quality naturally translates to higher prices.
3 Smart Shopping Tips for Master Bedrooms
- Invest in a quality mattress — you spend 1/3rd of your life sleeping and it impacts your sleep more than any other piece.
- If your budget is tight, start with the essential pieces of bedroom furniture and add secondary pieces and extra décor over time.
- Depending on who you ask, most people will keep their bedroom set for between 5 and 15 years. Look for pieces that balance style and durability to maximize long-term value.
