10 Ways With Benches at the Foot of the Bed
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.
Add a dash of a wild print. You may add just the right dose of animal print to your bedroom with an upholstered bench.
Introduce another material or texture. These three cubes form a bench and bring in rich woods and interesting geometry.

Bedroom benches are not limited to full-, queen-, and king-size beds. You can get the same effect with a single ottoman at the end of a twin bed.
