I have to say that the furniture in our house is rather sparse to say the least. what we have is mainly hand me downs, I made the bed frames myself, no fancy joints, all butt joints glued and screwed with some Larch slatts on top, I built the wooden supprort frame for the consevatory the same way, all the 3 x 2 uprights were butt jointed to the sole plate with PVA glue and 5" posidrives driven through the sole plate from underneath and into the uprights, really solid, it hasn't moved at all. I built all the kitchen unit frames the same way out of 2" x 2" not a joinered joint in sight, not got any doors on them yet, the doors will be MDF with a simple stop chammfered 50 x 19 mm timber frame planted on them and painted a light colour.
I always use the keep it simple approach when designing/building stuff.
