Put A Couch In My Bedroom

A chaise lounger is one kind of bedroom couch.


Yes, a couch can go in your bedroom but you must have sufficient space. There are many uses for a bedroom couch. For example, it can create additional sleeping space for guests, especially if it is a fold-out couch bed, and it can also create a reading area in the bedroom. Just be careful that the couch doesn't become a haven for unfolded laundry, dirty clothes and other accessories. Clutter tends to build in these unnecessary but nice-to-have spaces.


Size


Having the space for any couch in your bedroom is just part of the equation.The couch you invest in needs to fit properly in your available space. Look for longer, leaner couches -- those with a contemporary look fit this bill -- to use in smaller or angular spaces. You can also look for a sectional coach for a larger, angular space. This couch can frame your bed and provide a sweet resting place for night time wine and movie watching. For smaller spaces, use a condo-sized couch that can fit at the foot of your bed.


Style








Select a couch that is not only the right size but also the right style. If you have a contemporary home, opt for a contemporary couch in a shade of white, black or charcoal. If you're craving a pop of color, add a contemporary couch in red, blue or yellow. Opt for a basic tan leather couch for more traditional spaces and a rugged leather couch for more rustic bedrooms.


Accessories


Make your couch a functional part of your space by adding small side tables to either end, space permitting of course. Add throw pillows and a soft throw blanket. If there is a wall above your couch, add complementary art work above the couch. This will create a focus point and merge the couch into the room.


Storage and Functionality








Those living in small spaces may opt for a couch that has storage built into the bottom or back. This couch won't just create additional seating space but will also provide a home for items that would otherwise clutter a smaller space. Remove occasional chairs from your bedroom if you have these as well as a couch; the occasional chairs likely take up potential storage area.
