Your bedroom is your safe haven. Obviously, you want to create a comfortable environment for yourself. One that also happens to be quite stylish, if you do say so yourself. You probably already have the staple pieces placed perfectly in your room – the bed, side tables, and cabinets (or a chest of drawers). But something is still missing from your dream bedroom – a bedroom bench. This piece of furniture is quite versatile. It elevates the look of your bedroom while providing you with additional storage space for clothes, blankets, linen, or anything really. It can also serve as a seating area – a place where you can sit down to put on or take off your shoes and socks (or stockings). If you want to find the best bedroom bench for your space, we’ve got a step-by-step guide that you can follow.
Step 1: Measure your space.
Bedroom benches come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. You’ll need to make sure that you know exactly how much space you have available and what would compliment the size of your bed.
The length of your bench should be shorter than the width of your bed. Too long and the bench will make your bedroom look cramped. Too small and it will look and awkward in a sea of bedroom furniture. Experts agree that the right length should be 80 to 90 percent of the width of your bed. For example, if you have a queen-sized bed which is 60 inches wide, your bench should have a length of around 48 to 54 inches.
The depth of your bench, on the other hand, will depend entirely on how much clearance is available at the foot of your bed. You should choose a bench that leaves you enough room to easily navigate around the bed + bench. If you have a small room, for example, you should choose a bench that’s narrow.
Height is another measurement that you’ll need to consider. The top of your bench should not be taller than your bed. Instead, make sure that it’s actually a few inches shorter.
Step 2: Consider the function.
While your bedroom bench will definitely add a touch of class to your personal space, that’s not the sole reason why you’re getting one. You should think about how you plan to use this piece of furniture on a day-to-day basis. Are you planning to use it as an added storage space? Will it be where you plan to kick your shoes off at the end of a long workday? As we’ve already mentioned, these benches can serve multiple purposes. You can even use it as a luxurious seating area for when you want to curl up and read a book or have guests visiting your personal space. With a general idea of your intended use, you’re more easily able to filter out which benches don’t suit your needs.
Step 3: Think about style.
Bedroom benches come in all sorts of shapes and styles. So, think about what design best suits your taste and the current decor in your bedroom. Look at the pieces you already have and think about what style would compliment them. Take note that you don’t necessarily have to match your pieces to create a cohesive look. You can choose a contrasting material to create a visual effect. For example, you can pair your all-metal bed frame with an upholstered bench or vice versa. Don’t be afraid to choose a different color or texture. Have fun. Remember, this is your space. No one can tell you what to do. It is, after all, your safe space.
