Bedroom Sitting Area Ideas

Bedroom sitting areas are a luxury that not all rooms allow for. With that being said, there are plenty of ways to add a small sitting area to your bedroom even in more restrictive floor plans. Or, if you're on the opposite side of the spectrum, there are plenty of ways to create grand sitting areas in large rooms. To help you decide on your room's layout and uses, we've created a list of our favorite bedroom sitting area ideas along with tips, tricks, and inspiration photos to get you started.

Accent Chairs and Accent Colors

Chairs and bedroom sitting areas don't just add comfort to the room; they also reinforce the room's overarching style. In this case, the chair highlights orange like the bed pillows and even includes wood like some of the other key furniture. Simple connections through material and color helps create a well-rounded, unified design in your bedroom.

What's The Point

Not all sitting areas have to be for actual sitting. The bench at the edge of this bed simply serves as a beautiful accent and decorative surface for the tray, books, and blanket. There's nothing wrong with this, unless you want your chair to serve a more functional purpose instead of a style one. In those cases, it's best to keep the chair uncluttered and ready for sitting.

Soaking In The Sun

Have large windows in your bedroom? You may want to place your chair there! While this room has a single chair in the window bay, you could easily adjust to include two chairs and create a cozy conversation space.

Completely Custom

If you want to create a grand bedroom, consider customize your seating area with one a of a kind furniture. One way to customize your bedroom seats is to choose a fabric and have the chairs upholstered with your favorite patterns/fabric. In this room, the sofa's base cushion features the same fabric as the nearby chair, which helps create a matching set and balance the pattern.

Tying It Together

There are many ways to place chairs and seats in the bedroom. If you want the whole space to feel like one area as opposed to one area for the bed and other for seats, place the chair closer to the bed. In scenarios like this, the rug can act as a connective tie between the bed and the chair, which helps draw the furniture together to create a unified, focused space.

Floating Furniture

While it's common to put chairs in a corner up up against a wall, you don't have to do that. In fact, you can have chairs "floating" out in the room to suit your needs and direct the flow of traffic. Wherever you put your chairs, be sure you have plenty of room to maneuver around the chairs and that you have a comfortable amount of space between the seats.

Minimalist Color Scheme

An accent chair is a great way to add visual interest to a minimalist bedroom. In this space, the color scheme is very focused with black, chocolate brown, and shades of white. The chair may just reuse a popular color, but thanks to its unique shape and material, the chair stands out in the room's grand design.

Wonderful Workspaces

Many larger bedrooms have room for a small office or desk. In these cases, the desk chair can serve multiple purposes. Not only will it be essential for working at the desk, but it can also be moved elsewhere in the room when you need an extra seat. Because of that, you'll want to choose a chair that is easy to move and complements the rest of the room's aesthetic.

Cozy Corners

A single accent chair looks great in the corner of the bedroom. However, looking great probably isn't the chair's only purpose. In this room, a small floor lamp is placed right next to the chair, which makes the chair useful for reading a good book or getting ready for the day. Be sure to consider the lighting around your chair and how that impacts its usefulness.

Completely Comfortable

Most everyone enjoys putting their feet up at the end of the day and relaxing. If you have the space in your room, you may want to include a chair and an ottoman or footrest to help you achieve the ultimate relaxation. If you don't have room for a large footrest, consider a pouf or smaller accent that can easily be moved aside when not in use.

Separation

In grand master suites, you may have a distinct area for a bed and another set aside from the bedroom sitting area and desk. In these cases, it's important to view each space as distinctive and still keep a view of the room as a whole. This philosophy will help you choose complementary furniture and artwork to furnish each part of the bedroom.

Black And White

Monochromatic black and white color palettes are highly in style thanks to their sleek contrast and design potential. While this room uses a lot of black accents against a white backdrop, you could easily invert the style to have white furniture against a black wall. Another idea is to incorporate color in your accent chairs to create a design moment and make the sitting area stand out even more.

Spread Out

Instead of having all your bedroom chairs stationed in one part of the room, you can spread them out to suit your room's layout. In this space, a single accent chair is on one side of the room while a wooden bench accents the area across from it. Not only does this make your room feel more balanced, but it also helps establish different chairs for different purposes.

Simple Beauty

While it's fairly common to put a bench at the end of your bed, this room shows the benefits of having two chairs at the foot of the bed instead. The chairs fill up more space than the bench, and thus they have more "presence" in the room's grand design. Plus, chairs with backs are typically more comfortable than benches, so if you have the room for them, then you may find larger accent chairs appealing for your bedroom's sitting area.

Warm Woods

Wood furniture and accents can add warmth and texture to your bedroom's grand design. Like this room, you may use multiple types of wood and finishes to create a diverse palette. Don't worry--even if the wood tones don't match exactly, as long as they convey a similar tone, your room will feel balanced and beautiful.


Bedroom sitting areas are incredibly diverse in their stylings, furnishings, and uses. Whether you have room for a single chair in the corner or a whole conversation space, there are plenty of ways you can add accent chairs to your room's design. Now that you've seen our best bedroom sitting area ideas and advice, you can begin designing your ideal sitting area.
