5 Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Bedroom Furniture Set

Seth Carter 09/04/2025

Your bedroom is your sanctuary and safe space. It is where you recharge after a long day of work and fighting traffic like your life depends on it. This is why it is so important that you are in love with your bedroom furniture set and decor.

Whether you have never taken the opportunity to pamper yourself and upgrade from mismatched, cheaply-made bedroom furniture pieces, or you might be thinking it’s time for an update, we have you covered in today’s post.

Here are five signs it might be time to replace your bedroom furniture set.


1. Furniture Is Worn or Damaged

Over time, your furniture will begin to show signs of wear and tear. Entropy is at play, after all. Let’s face it, there is a lot of cheap furniture in a lot of houses out there. We strongly advise you not to buy cheap bedroom furniture for many reasons.

It’s terrible for the environment. I have expanded upon and excoriated the fast furniture movement for your edification already. Not only does old (particularly cheap) furniture start to show its age, but the structural integrity of the furniture begins to submit to Father Time.

Amish-made solid wood furniture is built to last and is designed to be passed down for generations. If your current setup is falling apart, it is time to upgrade. Buying a made-to-order Amish bedroom set is going to be a real treat. Choose your favorite style, wood type, and stains, and select from a multitude of customizable features on each bedroom set!


2. You’ve Outgrown the Style

Our preferences change over time. Some folks change their hair color every couple of months because they want something different after a few weeks. You probably don’t want to have that approach with your bedroom furniture but after several years, it might be time for a change.

Perhaps you were gifted a solid wood bedroom set or you have an amalgam of solid wood styles from a local thrift store; whatever it may be, we ask that you do not haul your solid wood furniture to the dump. Donate it, give it to someone who could use it, but please don’t add to the 12 million tons of furniture in the landfill each year. I draw the line at 12 million tons.

It may just be time to try a new style. Maybe you’ve had a classic Mission-style furniture set for 10 years, and our Amish-made mid-century modern pieces have caught your eye. Maybe you are looking to transition from an industrial look to something more country, like our Amish Farmhouse style.

This is a perfectly good reason to contact one of our trained furniture specialists and begin a journey toward a new bedroom!


3. Your Bed Doesn’t Provide Proper Support

Creaky joints, cracking, sagging – No, I’m not talking about how you feel at the end of the day; I’m talking about symptoms of worn-out slats on your bed frame. If you do feel like that, it might be a sign you need a new bed!

Your bed frame supports your box spring, mattress, and the humans who slumber atop the wooden structure.

Did you know that the box spring, mattress, and humans are all supported by a few wooden slats across the bed frame?

If your bed’s slats are giving way, it is a sign it could be time to replace your bed frame. Our Amish bedroom sets are crafted with superior craftsmanship and can be customized to meet all of your desires, including a strong foundation with tremendous support that will provide sound sleep for years to come.


4. You’re Running Out of Storage Space

If you’ve ever moved, then you know that we tend to accumulate more stuff than we are often aware of. A key piece of strategy in choosing a new bedroom furniture set is ensuring you have enough storage to declutter your room and allow the solid wood pieces to shine.

Consider everything you need to store in your bedroom and decide on a set with all the right storage pieces, whether or not you need to add more case goods or potentially go with a bed frame that features underbed storage drawers.

5. Pieces Don’t Match or Look Mismatched

Mixing and matching furniture can be intentional, but sometimes, it’s just a result of piecing furniture together over the years with no clear plan. This can result in a disjointed, messy look for your bedroom furniture decor.

If mixed furniture styles are disrupting the aesthetic flow of your bedroom, it is time to opt-in for premium Amish-made solid wood furniture. Purchasing a bedroom set from DutchCrafters will give your room a consistent design and a polished appeal that will look like it belongs in a magazine.

Unify your furniture with an Amish-made bedroom set.
