To accommodate a king size bed set, your room size needs to be at least 12 feet by 9 feet 10 inches because a king size mattress is 76 inches wide by 80 inches long. If your bedroom is 12 feet by 12 feet, it can usually hold a king size bed along with a pair of nightstands and one dresser. You should leave 30 to 36 inches around the perimeter of your bed to easily walk around it.

In addition to room dimensions and layout, what other factors do you need to consider before getting a king size bedroom set?
Color and Materials
Your color palette includes everything from the color of your walls to the tone of wood furniture and flooring. The idea is to create a cohesive look that blends materials seamlessly, mixing and matching them instead of choosing something too cookie-cutter or matchy-matchy.
Likely, your bedroom set will feature a more neutral material like wood, painted wood, or neutral upholstery. Seeing a brightly colored bed or dresser is pretty rare. Instead of color in the traditional sense, then, the focus turns to whether you choose a warm or cool wood. How varied or subtle is the wood grain? Distressed, whitewashed, and hand-scraped finishes are more common in farmhouse or rustic designs while sleek black-painted bed frames are more common in modern and contemporary spaces.
The choice between dark and light bedroom sets largely depends on the desired atmosphere and the existing decor scheme. Dark wood or deep-colored bedroom sets tend to evoke a sense of richness, elegance, and warmth, making them suitable for traditional or cozy-themed bedrooms. In contrast, light-colored bedroom sets, such as those in white or light oak, impart a feeling of airiness, freshness, and modernity, ideal for contemporary or minimalist interiors.
Similarly, the choice of materials, whether wood, metal, or upholstery, can influence the overall style and texture of the bedroom, contributing to a harmonious and inviting space.
Design Style
Closely tied to color and materials, you’ll want to consider your favorite design style as you’re shopping for a king size bed ensemble. Later in this article, we’ll compare the signature characteristics of five popular design styles—farmhouse, modern, traditional, romantic, and rustic—to guide you in which colors, materials, silhouettes, and details define each style to achieve the look in your room.
Cost
King size bedroom sets have a wide range of prices, typically anywhere between $500 to $4,000. Where a set falls within this price range depends on how many pieces the set contains, what materials it’s made of, and other factors. The higher quality a set is, the higher the price will be. For example:
- Solid wood furniture is more expensive than furniture made with engineered wood and veneers.
- Upholstered beds tend to cost more than simpler bed frames.
- Beds with extra storage solutions like drawers or shelves may cost more as well.
What Comes in a King Size Bedroom Set
King size bedroom sets are categorized by how many pieces they contain. A 2 piece set may only contain a bed frame and a dresser or a bed frame and a nightstand. On the other hand, a 6 piece king size bedroom set may include a bed frame, two nightstands, a dresser, a mirror for over the dresser, and a chest of drawers. There are also 3, 4, and 5 piece bedroom sets with different king size bed furniture set options and combinations.
A smaller set suits those with smaller bedrooms who are set on the luxury of a king bed but may not have the space for a ton of extra furniture. Additionally, shoppers large closets may not need multiple dressers and would rather leave open floor space to create a spacious feel.
If you need extra storage in your bedroom and have the space for more furniture pieces, a larger king size bed package is ideal. In addition to storage, each piece in a larger set serves its own functional and stylistic purposes. Having two nightstands helps define the space and create symmetry around your bed. By drawing your eye toward the center, a pair of nightstands not only help balance out the room, but they can help make your bed a focal point. This is great when you have a dramatic headboard or favorite art piece hanging over your bed.
Hanging a mirror over your dresser can help create a bright and more spacious feel in your room by bouncing light around your room—and you can easily check your appearance before you head out for the day. Dressers and chests of drawers offer ample storage, and the vertical nature of chests of drawers means you get more storage in fewer square feet.
Farmhouse Style King Size Bedroom Sets
In a farmhouse style bedroom, common elements include rustic wood furniture, distressed finishes, vintage accents, and cozy textiles. When styling a bedroom set in this style, consider opting for a sturdy wooden bed frame with a weathered finish, complemented by matching dressers and nightstands. Whitewashed wood can also create a cozy farmhouse feel.
Incorporate vintage elements like wrought iron accents, antique mirrors, and mason jar lamps to add character and charm to the space. Soft, neutral colors such as whites, creams, soft grays, and muted pastels work best for the walls and larger furniture pieces, creating a light and airy feel reminiscent of farmhouse aesthetics. Texture plays a crucial role in farmhouse decor, so incorporate natural materials like wood, linen, burlap, and wicker through bedding, curtains, rugs, and decorative accessories.
Farmhouse style bedrooms can work well in various sizes, but they often thrive in larger spaces where the rustic elements and vintage accents have ample room to shine without feeling cramped. While some prefer a more modern take on farmhouse, country style king size bedroom sets that have a shabby chic, vintage feel also fall into this style genre.

This 5 piece king size bedroom set is calming to the senses. White and driftwood are the perfect combo to add visual interest and contrast without being too busy.

Because of the minimalist silhouettes and metal handles, this set could work well in a modern twist on farmhouse style.
Modern King Size Bedroom Sets
In a modern style bedroom, common elements include clean lines, minimalistic design, sleek surfaces, and a focus on functionality. A platform bed with a simple, streamlined frame and minimal ornamentation would be at home in a modern design but so would a sleek upholstered one for a more sophisticated look. Choose furniture pieces with smooth surfaces and geometric shapes, such as dressers and nightstands with sleek handles or no handles at all.
In terms of color, incorporate a neutral color palette, including shades of white, gray, black, and beige, to create a serene and sophisticated atmosphere. Add pops of color sparingly through accent pieces like pillows, throws, or artwork to add visual interest without overwhelming the space. For textures, consider incorporating smooth materials like glass, metal, and polished wood, as well as soft textiles such as cotton or linen for bedding and curtains.

Traditional King Size Bedroom Sets
In a traditional style bedroom, common elements include ornate details, rich wood finishes, elegant furniture pieces, and a sense of timeless sophistication. Traditional bedroom sets might feature a classic wooden bed frame with intricate carvings or a canopy design to serve as the focal point of the room. Choose matching dressers, nightstands, and armoires with decorative details such as moldings, brass hardware, or bun feet to enhance the traditional aesthetic.
For your color palette, think warm, rich colors such as deep browns, mahogany, cherry, and burgundy for furniture pieces and accents to evoke a sense of luxury and warmth. Textures like plush velvet, silk, brocade, and damask can be used for upholstery, bedding, and window treatments to add tactile interest and elegance to the space.

Choose furniture pieces with graceful curves, such as ornate dressers, nightstands, and vanities, to evoke a sense of elegance and charm.
Bring on the pastels. Soft and feminine colors such as blush pink, lavender, soft blue, and creamy whites for the walls, bedding, and upholstery create a serene and romantic atmosphere. Layer luxurious fabrics like silk, satin, lace, and velvet for bedding, curtains, and decorative pillows to add tactile appeal and create a sense of indulgence. Accessories such as floral arrangements, vintage mirrors, crystal chandeliers, and delicate artwork can enhance the romantic ambiance of the room.

Rustic King Size Bedroom Sets
In a rustic style bedroom, common elements include natural materials, rugged textures, weathered finishes, and a cozy, inviting atmosphere. A sturdy wooden bed frame with distressed or reclaimed wood is the ideal choice for creating a rustic feel. Choose complementary furniture pieces such as dressers, nightstands, and chests made from rough-hewn wood or wrought iron with simple, utilitarian designs.
Look to nature for inspiration and incorporate earthy colors such as warm browns, deep greens, muted blues, and rusty reds for the walls, bedding, and accents to create a natural and harmonious palette. Texture plays a key role in rustic decor, so layer cozy textiles like wool, flannel, faux fur, and knitted blankets for bedding and upholstery to add warmth and comfort. Accessorize with natural elements such as woven baskets, pottery, antlers, and botanical prints to enhance the rustic charm of the room.
