Ideas for Bedroom Bench and Accent Chair
Struggling to choose a end of bed bench and accent chair. This is the exact King bed and duvet, nightstand, art I have already bought. I am definitely trying to add pops of color with accessories after. No Gold please. Walls and carpet are light gray.

Want to help me choose accessories for blank slate bedroom(s)?
Comments (5)whenicit, Thanks, but I need LOTS of help! The other advantage to the 2nd layout in BR1 is that the headboard is rather high and if I put it along the wall, it won't block the windows which would probably be better. I'll see about adding seating when I get the beds assembled. We may have room and it would give me a project to scour antique shops. That is what I'm planning on doing for a nightstand in the second bedroom. A little shabby/chic, beachy. I was going to look through some "Real Simple" magazines for inspiration. I'm not sure exactly what I want yet, but I though a "weathered" table, perhaps in a fun color, would go nicely with the iron bed. ajsmama, Thank you for the suggestion on BR1. I agree that swaping the nightstand is much better. On BR2, I think I could move the dresser closer to the door. The only think I actually don't like about the dresser in that position in general is that I'm not fond of the look of it from the side, but no mater how far forward or backward it is, I'm going to have that problem... Thanks for all you help! Jaymie...See MoreHelp finish master bedroom...window coverings, rug?, art, accents
Comments (16)Thanks @loobab! That bedding has turned out to be perfect in every way. It has become the inspiration for the whole house color palette. As often happens with decorating projects, I now have a new problem to solve. I have no place to put all those decorative pillows at night. There’s no other furniture in the room besides the bed and nightstands. Adding a bench at the foot of the bed seems silly with all that space on the sides to work with. A chair would be nice, but what else to put with it? I don’t need or want a dresser. And we don’t watch tv in that room, so a media console isn’t relevant. I fear just plopping a chair in one corner won’t be enough. Please help!...See MoreUpgrade my master bedroom decor - any ideas??
Comments (7)I'm in agreement with most of the above. Remove all the "littles" - things you can carry in both hands like the square mirrors above the doorway to the sunroom, the pieces above the bed, the vase of dried stuff, the rug by the mirror, the two tiny bedside lamps. Consider replacing the nightstands with floating shelves and some wall mounted corded swing arm lamps. If it will fit, I'd hang that big art above the bed and start shopping for accessories in those rich colors. I'd prefer sheer curtains hung in the sunroom to filter the light. Then put linen or silk panels in the bedroom. Did you ever try the bed in front of the two windows? I think your bench is too small for that wall or for the scale of the bed; try it in the sunroom, hall or foyer....See MoreTranquil Master Bedroom Ideas
Comments (10)If still interested, just general feedback, given can’t comment on your room specifically without seeing more of room. You did reference white walls which really opens up a lot of options, but the bedding color scheme may not feel calm/retreat like. Bedding is such a big factor in setting the tone: 3 L’s - light, lux, layered. If room is large enough, add a cozy sitting area with comfortable chairs. Consider as well, ceiling and nightstand lighting, art, light drapery. The best thing you can do is look on line - Pintetest, Houzz, Instragram for master bedrooms that appeal to you and the components that bring room together....See More

ETA: For a chair ... just an accent, or you’ll be using it? Budget? Material? Size you’d prefer? Lots of possibilities, just trying to narrow it down.Travis

I‘m showing it in every color for fun. I was really hoping to find something less MCM and more kind of vintage contemporary (think 1980’s Architectural Digest rooms). Velvet or silk, especially. But I am kind of liking the lines of this, and the texture ... but maybe it’s too casual? I’m mixed on it.
(Be sure to scroll down and see each color in people’s rooms, if it does interest you. They look much better and more colorful than these mock-ups.)
This looks dark gray here, but it’s actually a nice blue ...
