Seven Ideas to Decorate the Foot of Your Bed

BENCH

Easy and fool proof, a bench can literally act as an extension of your bed. I used one in our white guest bedroom (the full reveal and sources can be found HERE) to provide extra seating and to serve as an area to set/open luggage.

PAIR OF OTTOMANS

In our master, the mirrored x ottomans are multi-functional. I literally move them around and use them as step stools, they are my laundry basket holder when I’m folding cloths, and if the bed is made, we can sit to finish putting on shoes. For full room sources and colors, click HERE.

CAMP STOOLS

Similar to the ottomans, Kris of Driven by Decor used a pair of camp stools to outfit the end of her bed. When she shared her bedroom reveal for the One Room Challenge a year ago, my eyes immediately went to those cuties; she is always thinking outside the box and if you have never seen her master bedroom reveal, it is truly a treat. You can check that out HERE, along with her room sources.

SETTEE

Jennifer of Decor Gold Designs has one of the most recognizable bedrooms on Instagram. Undoubtedly, it is FAB-U-LOUS! She used a full sized furniture piece to add a sitting area which is an especially good option if you don’t have a dedicated space for seating. Have any old love seats/settees in the basement you’re thinking of donating? Consider recovering and bringing them into your bedroom. You can visit with her for more bedroom magic and to see all her room sources HERE.

GARDEN STOOLS

Tamara of CitrineLiving has a bedroom that is constantly evolving. She has used benches, stools, and ottomans but one of my favorite ways she styled the end of her bed is when she brought in one of her garden stools. These versatile pieces take up little space and can be used in all sorts of ways all over (and outside) the house. You may have seen her bedroom scrolling through Pinterest – to date, this photo has been pinned over 100,000 times! You can see more of her bedroom and view all of her sources HERE.

CHAIRS

Jen of StyleHouse Interiors has actually updated her bedroom since this photo but I am still in love with the little conversation moment she created her slipper chairs. Like the love seat, if you are looking to bring in a sitting area but are doubting the space, as long as your bedroom isn’t too shallow, try setting up at the foot of your bed. You can find her gorgeous, newly renovated bedroom HERE.

TRUNK

Growing up and to this day, my mom has always had a trunk at the foot of her bed. From storage for extra bedding and pillows to hiding spots for gifts and treasures, a beautiful trunk is timeless and functional. It covers seating, surface space, and storage (I think I’m going to coin “the three s’s”) and is the perfect option if you aren’t sure which to go with in your own room. This classic beauty from Pottery Barn can be found HERE.
