Small Bedroom Chairs: 23 Of The Best Styles To Make The Most Of The Space You Have
Budding Carrie Bradshaws, we’ve got you covered
Whether you’re an aspiring Carrie Bradshaw and spend time hammering at your keyboard for your latest ‘I couldn’t help but wonder…’ think piece, enjoy curling up reading a book like Hermione Granger, or you use your bedroom as a second living room to binge-watch your favourite Netflix show, your bedroom is your sanctuary and your place to escape. And if you’re limited on space, a small bedroom chair is vital for creating your desired feel.
What is the best chair for a bedroom?
This depends on the size and vibe of your room but two things to keep in mind are comfort and style. No one wants to feel like they’re back in the office with a bad back struggling to get comfortable while trying to watch the latest episode of The Bold Type. And yes, we know what you’re thinking - your bed is the only source of comfort you need in your bedroom. Well, you’re wrong. Your bed just won’t cut it when you’re trying to write your latest novel or working your way through an online course. You need space to switch on and get productive.
After comfort comes style, your chair needs to fit in with the rest of your room's look. Whether you're into rattan interior or leaning towards plushy velvet furnishings, there's a chair for you. It’s also a good idea to think about colour - complement the tone of your bedroom rather than matching it so if you decide to redecorate the walls your chair won't need to be changed.
Where should chairs be in a small bedroom?
When it comes to organising your bedroom it’s about maximising the space you have. Make use of the features in your room - if you have a chimney breast use one side of it for shelving and storage space and create a cosy nook with a chair, lamp and your favourite plant.
Make the most of the light and put your chair facing the window so you can soak up some Vitamin D (remember to wear SPF!) while you're working your way through your life admin or rewatching old episodes of Gossip Girl.
There's a lot to think about when you're looking for the perfect small bedroom chair and finding the right one isn't easy. That's why we've done the hard work for you and put together a list of the best ones out there. Whether you're into minimal and classic or statement pieces we've got you covered...
