3 Benefits of Adorning Your Private Oasis with a Bedroom Bench

Think of your bedroom bench like having a nice belt – it’s not really something you want to spend a fortune on, but you do need it. When you’re getting dressed in the morning, you grab for it, you feel it’s not there, and oh how you wish you had one. The amount of times I told myself that I need a bench at the end of the bed (whenever I came back from work and just thrown my work clothes on the floor) is simply insane, before I actually got myself one, that is.

If you don’t have the needed space, that’s alright, otherwise, it is the ideal piece of furniture to add the much needed finishing touch to your room, squeeze in additional seating and to create that plop and drop spot for the seven different outfit combos that you try on in hopes that you will find a new, killer one. Yeah, until you settle for the same skinny jeans and black shirt that are your go-to choice when you have “nothing to wear”. Now on to some of the biggest benefits of having a bedroom bench at the foot of your bed.

Style

Think about it, you spend time every day in your bedroom getting ready and dressed to impress, but how much attention do you actually pay to the way your bed looks like? Although it is many times overlooked, the foot of the bed is a chance for you to introduce your personal style. If you have a love for the simple and fine things, cap off your bed with a small sofa or a large trunk. If you appreciate symmetry, place two comfy chairs and place a small end table between them. Similarly, if your style leans towards eclectic, you can mix things up with two mini benches.

Storage

You know how sometimes you wake up in the night looking for an extra blanket to cozily wrap yourself in and continue dreaming? Well, besides for the above mentioned purposes, you can also use your bedroom bench as a storage space. Fill it up with knitted throws and bed linens so you can have them within your arm’s reach in times of need. If it is placed in a guest bedroom, crowd it with fluffy towels, pillows and an extra set of linens.

A TV Stand

Now for the fun part. How cool it would be if the top part of your storage bedroom bench had the double function of a TV stand? Awesome, right? Provided that you have your TV set installed right, you can freely attach your flat screen to the inside of the top part of your bedroom bench. Open it up when you feel like watching a movie before bedtime and close it when you want your room to radiate a different feel. It doesn’t get much more versatile and simple than that. Functionality and convenience at their finest!
