Upholstered Benches: The Perfect Addition For Style & Functionality In Bedrooms

A bedroom decor is not complete without a bench, right? Upholstered benches are becoming a must-have in bedroom design, offering the perfect combination of style and practicality.

Whether you’re looking to enhance the elegance of a room or add functional, comfortable seating, these benches provide a versatile solution that can suit any design aesthetic. Keep reading and discover the best way to add these pieces of furniture to your projects!

A Touch of Elegance

The plush, upholstered surface of a bench can instantly add a sense of elegance to your bedroom projects. Whether placed at the foot of the bed, by a window or along a wall, an upholstered bench offers an inviting touch. The fabric choice—be it velvet, leather or a performance textile—can be tailored to match the overall design scheme, creating a cohesive look. Also, the soft texture contrasts beautifully with the hard surfaces in a room, like wood or metal furniture, adding a layer of depth and warmth!

Functionality

Beyond aesthetics, upholstered benches offer functional benefits. They provide a convenient spot for seating, allowing your client to sit while dressing or putting on shoes, making them especially practical in the morning routine.

Additionally, upholstered benches are perfect for small spaces! Some of them include storage compartments beneath the seat, offering a discreet solution for keeping extra linens, blankets or pillows.

For bedrooms with limited space, a slim, upholstered bench can serve multiple purposes without taking up too much room.

Design Flexibility

One of the key benefits of upholstered benches is their adaptability. They come in a wide range of shapes, sizes and styles, making them perfect for any bedroom layout or design concept. Whether your project is contemporary, classic or somewhere in between, there’s an upholstered bench that can complement your aesthetic.

A minimalist bench with clean lines might suit a modern bedroom, while a more ornate piece with tufted detailing can elevate a traditional or vintage-inspired space.

Styling an Upholstered Bench

To integrate an upholstered bench into your bedroom projects, consider the overall palette and furniture style. Opt for a bench that complements the bed frame—wooden frames pair well with linen or velvet benches, while metal or upholstered beds may call for a contrasting fabric or colour. Adding throw pillows or a folded throw blanket can further personalise the bench, making it a stylish focal point.
