A Bedroom Benchmark

Maxwell Bench from Universal

From the Farmhouse Reimagined collection by Liberty

If the size of your bedroom allows for it, placing a bench at the end of your bed can be both a functional and luxurious addition. Our designers here at Union Furniture & Flooring offer these few reasons why:

1.     It gives you a place to sit down to do things like put on or take off your shoes

2.     You can keep an extra blanket folded there for when the nights turn chilly

3.     If you’re the type to decorate your bed with an abundance of pillows, a bench is great place to place them when it’s time to sleep

4.     If you have small or aging pets that you allow on the bed, a bench can be a sort of step stool (or even a place for your pet to sleep)

5.     From a décor perspective, a bench adds another layer of interest and texture

6.     If you ever need extra seating in another room in the house, a bench can easily be moved to provide for your guests

There are any number of options to choose from — wood, upholstered, rattan, wicker, some that offer storage, others with a lower shelf, several with backs, and all variety of lengths and widths. We’ve gathered a few photos here from our catalogs and in the store to inspire you.

So as the temperature outside starts to fall and you begin to spend more time indoors again, you will want your bedroom to be as comfortable and pleasant as possible. A bench can help you achieve that!
