If you have room, place a console table or bench at the edge of your bed…

A very romantic room above. Really makes me want to create diy roman shades. I know tons of people spend a lot of time in their sleeping space. Not only that, I often see images of interiors where there is a ton of dead space in front of the bed. To me, this is the opportunity to add additional furniture. Either a console table that can double as a desk, or a bench where you can put shoes on in the morning. Need more storage? Consider putting a luggage trunk. If you have even more room, a small sofa will be lovely with a coffee table in front and an armoire housing a tv. It can be a private space to catch up on the news and sip some coffee before getting ready for the days activities. I just feel a room is more complete with something at the foot of the bed….

Lovely black and white. Bold but not overpowering.

This argyle styled headboard is ultra fabulous to me. I like the glossy finish of the footboard. Soft purples are relaxing and calming…

So glam with a rug that makes you wanna sink your toes into. Love the lacquered and gold coffee table, the textured grasscloth wallpaper and the shape of the headboard…

Masculine, streamlined, tailored and very stylish. This could be so coastal chic if there were sheer white fabric draped over the bed…

So which would you prefer: a desk, console/coffee table with chairs, a sofa loveseat, some sort of storage unit like baskets or a trunk, or a bench/ottoman?

Lacquered finishes, gold trim, beautifully displayed jewelrycowhides (I hope faux) and luggages. What’s not to love.

Lack room for additional seating but need some for entertaining? Try table/ottoman combos…

Frankly most of us don’t have the room to entertain like we wanna. So the next best thing for getting the seating you need is ottomans built-in coffee tables. Most furniture stores have some sort of variation of this. Usually its four pieces that sit flush with the table top and can pull out easily. This saves room as opposed to regular chairs and serves as double duty. If you dislike the style of those, simply get a coffee table that’s tall enough to slide a stylish low seating ottoman under like the image below. Adding a tray to a regular tufted ottoman gives balance and sturdiness making it functional as a surface as well. Sometimes you can get away with doing just that and opting out for a table all together. If you’d rather not have a taller coffee table and can fit a console somewhere within the space, just place stools, benches, floor pillows or ottomans under those. Same concept.

One modern way to design a dining or kitchen space is to create as much seating as possible. Typically nooks or benches have more space. Placing different chairs on surrounding sides and a bench, ottoman or sofa on the other creates an interesting look. The worst thing you can do most times is having matching sets. Yeah it’s cheaper but a well designed space will marriage different styles of furniture. I personally think NOOKS of all  kinds are comfortable and casual. Having them creates a welcoming feel.
