"Why Should I Put a Chair in my Bedroom?"
Professional interior designers who stage their rooms for photo shoots often feature an accent chair in their bedroom designs. You can commonly find examples of this in home style magazines, like below.
Traditional Bedroom
They do look fantastic but bedroom chairs aren't typical items of furniture that people first think of adding to the room when they start decorating. The bed, wardrobes, and drawers often take first priority, leaving little room left for a luxurious lounge chair.
It's at this point the question is asked: "why should I put a chair in my bedroom?"
Like everything, there is a for and against argument for putting a chair in your bedroom. In 2010, Apartment Therapy asked whether bedroom chairs were a stylish addition or a magnet for clutter to pile up on (source). The answers were fantastic, some of which feature in this article, however, it was clear that owning a bedroom chair will test how disciplined you are with keeping your bedroom tidy and organised.
To help answer this commonly raised question, we're going to provide the benefits and disadvantages of buying a chair for your bedroom to help you decide for yourself.
Reasons For
For many people, having a bedroom chair was a great idea that helped with everyday activities and made the room look beautiful.
Here are 10 reasons for having a bedroom chair:
1. Provides a place to sit comfortably and relax whilst reading a book with a pot of tea;
2. It looks good as an accent piece when complementing your bedroom's decor;
3. It's somewhere to sit whilst watching TV and playing video games;
4. It's a comfortable seat for putting on socks and shoes;
5. It's a useful clothes preparation area to organise your outfit for the following day;
6. It can be used with a dressing table for applying makeup, etc;
7. It could double up as a desk seat for bedroom office spaces;
8. Provides somewhere for a friend to sit if you invite them to hang out in your bedroom;
9. Gives you a place to hang your not-quite-dirty clothes for wearing again on other days;
10. It gives the dog somewhere comfy to sleep.
Reasons Against
For the undisciplined others, the temptation to stack a pile of clean/ dirty clothes on an accent chair was too strong. Some would even partake in an unusual activity of moving the pile of clothes from the bed to the chair when they wanted to sleep in it and back again during the day.
Also, if you own a smaller bedroom then including a chair can obviously be impractical and make the room feel crowded compared to bigger, more spacious rooms.
So should I get one?
To sum up, the argument on whether or not your should put a chair in your bedroom is decided by your own requirements, how much space is available in your room, and whether or not you maintain a tidy and organised living environment.
I hope the benefits and disadvantages of owning a bedroom chair above can help you in your own decision on whether or not to buy and ask you to please share this article on Facebook or Twitter if you found it useful.
