Suite Addition: BEDROOM SITTING ROOM

Give yourself a private hang out spot in your bedroom. You don’t need a massive master to accommodate a cozy, dedicated spot for reading, journaling and tranquil relaxation. Even if your bedroom is on the smaller side, you can get creative and incorporate a bedroom sitting area. “We like to focus on cohesion when it comes to decorating a small space,” suggests the team at Finch + Fern. “Cohesion in color and in style will help to keep the space from feeling cluttered.”

1. If space is at a premium, adding a chair or two can be a flexible option for seating that takes up less space. Since a bedroom sitting area is more personal, it can be a great opportunity to choose pieces that suit your individual style without having to consult the whole family’s tastes. Get funky and experiment with color. For a mod, cheerful look, choose this accent chair in a delightful rosy pink. With its clean lines and cushy seat, it’s the perfect combo of svelte silhouette and comfy relaxing seat ($699.99, Fecera’s)

2. If you have a little more space and want to add a glam movie-star feel, consider a chaise lounge. This Hollywood Regency style chaise comes in a bold black fabric, complete with button tufted accents and shiny nail head trim ($859.99, Empire Home Center)

3. For a similar style in a chair, this luxurious jewel-toned option will add drama and color to your space. This sapphire-blue chair also features shining nail head trim, along with crystal button tufts for a bold decorating statement in a small package ($2,489.99, Fecera’s)

6. For those with a little more room, loveseats can also be incorporated into a bedroom sitting area. To make the most of your available space, try adding a loveseat next to your bed or at the foot of it. This mossy green velvet loveseat could be a plush edition to your sitting area. Gold tone metal legs give it height and an airy feel that won’t bog down your space ($1,409.99, Fecera’s)

4. A private sitting area is also a great opportunity to play with patterns. This accent chair offers a mesmerizing array of intersecting lines in a teal and cream diamond motif. The sleek design is ideal for a comfy seat that doesn’t take up a lot of space ($239.99, Empire Home Center)

5. For an alternative spin on a bedroom sitting area, you could also combine seating and a table. This vanity provides a cushioned bench, along with storage, table space and a mirror ($479.99, Empire Home Center) Two drawers offer plenty of room for makeup, brushes and styling tools. A recessed area under the mirror adds additional storage. The mirror folds down when not in use for even more space-saving functionality and serves as extra table space. Shiny mirrored legs catch the light and add elegance to your bedroom. Besides putting on makeup and accessories, this vanity could double as a quiet spot for journaling or other writing.
