Furnishings
家具和卧室中的其他物品差异很大，具体取决于口味和当地传统。例如，主卧室可能包括特定尺寸（双重，国王或大号）的床；一个或多个梳妆台（或者也许是衣柜衣橱）；床头柜；一个或多个壁橱；和地毯。内置壁橱在欧洲的普遍性不如北美。因此，在欧洲，更多地使用了独立的衣柜或法庭。
An individual’s bedroom is a reflection of one’s personality, as well as social class, and is unique to each person. However there are certain items that are common in most bedrooms. Mattresses usually have a bed set to raise the mattress off the ground and it provides some decoration. There are many different types of mattresses, in the 14th century the lower class slept on mattresses that were stuffed with straw. During the 16th century mattresses stuffed with feathers started to gain popularity, with those who could afford them. The common person was doing well if he could buy a mattress after seven years of marriage.
In the 18th century cotton and wool started to become more common. The first coil spring mattress wasn't invented until 1871. The most common and most purchased mattress is the innerspring mattress. The variety of choices range from relatively soft to a rather firm mattress. A bedroom may have bunk beds if more than one person share a room. Night stands are also rather popular. They are used to put various items on, such as an alarm clock or a small lamp. Having a television in a bedroom is fairly common as well. 43% of children from ages 3 to 4 have a television in their bedrooms. Along with televisions many bedrooms also have computers, video game consoles, which are more popular among teenagers, and other parts of Europe.
在日本的蒲团中很常见。除了床（或者由两个或更多孩子共享）外，孩子的卧室可能包括一个小壁橱或梳妆台，玩具盒或计算机游戏机，书柜或其他计算机游戏机或其他项目。
Modern bedrooms
Many houses in America have at least two bedrooms—usually a master bedroom and one or more bedrooms for either the children or guests.
In some jurisdictions there are basic features (such as a closet and a "means of egress") that a room must have in order to legally qualify as a bedroom. In many states, such as Alaska, bedrooms are not required to have closets and must instead meet minimum size requirements.
A closet by definition is a small space used to store things. In a bedroom, a closet is most commonly used for clothes and other small personal items that one may have. Walk in closets are more popular today and vary in size. However, in the past wardrobes have been the most prominent. A wardrobe is a tall rectangular shaped cabinet that clothes can be stored or hung in. Clothes are also kept in a dresser. Typically nicer clothes are kept in the closet because they can be hung up while leisure clothing and undergarments are stored in the dresser.
在具有多个独立住房单元（例如公寓）的建筑物中，卧室数量差异很大。尽管许多这样的单元至少有一个卧室（经常出现，这些单元至少有两个卧室，但其中一些单元可能没有专门用作卧室的特定房间。（这些单元可能以各种名称知道，包括工作室，效率，床板等）。
有时，主卧室连接到专用bathroom, often called an suite.
