To turn your bedroom into a truly luxurious retreat, a sitting area is a must. Even in a small bedroom, having a place to sit besides your bed is an easy way to make the space feel more like a personal oasis where you can go to relax. It’s the perfect spot to start your day in with a cup of coffee or wind down in at night after a long day.

Another great benefit of a bedroom sitting area is the warmth it brings to the space. The addition of these few pieces of furniture will help make it feel cozier and give you the opportunity to add another touch of style to the decor. In a lot of cases, a bedroom sitting area can make the room feel finished.

Here are some inspiring bedroom sitting area ideas for a range of spaces.
