Stylish Tips for the End of the Bed

We spend a lot of time creating just the right look for the head of the bed, like this wooden headboard or molding on the wall. So it only makes sense to add a stunning focal point to the foot of a bed too. Follow any of these easy tips to create the perfect place in your room, just like a professional interior designer.

Statement Furniture Pieces

To truly make a statement in this small space, let's consider incorporating a bold piece of furniture that serves both functional and aesthetic purposes. Designers often recommend selecting a striking bedroom bench or ottoman that complements your overall decor. But a small sofa or chair also adds a touch of luxury to your bedroom.

I love bed benches because they are so versatile. You can find stunning options like an upholstered bench, a wooden bench, or something made of other natural materials. We picked out a fun midcentury style bench in a soft beige fabric with a plush cushion for the end-of-bed bench in my daughter's boho room.

Also look for pieces with unique details like intricate carvings, bold colors, or luxurious fabrics to create a focal point that draws the eye and reinforces the design scheme. Statement furniture pieces can add depth and personality to your bedroom, making it a true reflection of your style and taste.

Decorate the Foot of the Bed with Unexpected Accents

For those looking to add an unexpected twist to their bed foot decor, utilize unique accents that bring a sense of personality and intrigue. Mixing and matching different elements can create a one-of-a-kind look. For example, choose decorative items that are not typical of what you would usually find, like a regular throw blanket.

Instead, incorporate something different like artwork, your favorite books, a plant or a stylish basket. If you really love to stick with traditional style bed linens or pillows, opt for extra blankets or pillows with a little more pizazz than you normally would display.

Using cube ottomans is also a great way to incorporate some texture while providing functionality.

Mixing Textures

If you are looking for a great way to bring in some top designer traits, mixing textures is a fabulous option to decorate the foot of the bed. Mixing textures can further enhance the visual interest and tactile experience at the end of a bed. By layering different textures such as plush velvet, smooth silk, and rough woven materials, you can create a dynamic and visually appealing look that adds depth and dimension to your space.

This woven wood bench in my master bedroom is a great choice for adding texture and dimension. I layered it with a fringed throw and a beautiful summer hat for even more dimension. But I also love my square ottomans with a striped pattern.

There are lots of options when it comes to adding items with varying textures. Here are just a few:

  • Woven baskets
  • Silk pillows
  • Velvet throws or pillows
  • Blankets and pillows with fringes or tassel
  • Rugs at the foot of your bed

Experiment with a variety of textures to create a cozy and inviting atmosphere, especially for master bedrooms or a guest room. Next, we will explore how to create a focal point that anchors your decor at the foot of the bed and ties the entire design together seamlessly.

Creating a Focal Point

Above all, it is extremely important to create a focal point when you are decorating the foot of the bed. This is especially true if you have small bedrooms because you have somewhere that your eye is drawn instead of dwelling on the size or space of a small room.

A focal point is ideal for tying in a room theme or for displaying a taste of personality. I used these pink ottomans in my daughter's black and white room to create a simple bench. The beautiful pastel color contrasts her black and white floral walls while still adding a touch of elegance. The light pink warms up the bedroom space with a touch of femininity, making the black and white isn't so harsh.

Whether you choose a statement furniture piece, mix textures with unexpected accents, or create a focal point, these tips will help you transform your space into a design masterpiece. Take the leap and make your bedroom a place of sophistication and comfort.

Happy Decorating!
