Finish off your bedroom design with a bench for seating, storage and style.
Is your bedroom missing something? Perhaps it feels too big, maybe it’s a little to empty, or maybe you simply have nowhere to sit when you need to put on your shoes. Consider a bedroom bench. They come in all sorts of styles, including French Empire, Chinoiserie, Mid-Century Modern, Hollywood Regency or even a garden bench. A bedroom bench can accentuate the prints you’ve picked, provide storage or take the place of a footboard.
