The Kind of Chairs to Put in a Bedroom

Vanity Chair

• Vanity chairs, a staple in ladies' bedrooms since the days of the royal palaces of Europe, function as part of a vanity set that includes a small table with a mirror attached. Vanity chairs rarely have arm rests and tend to be more like cushioned stools, or have very low backs. Many also include flowing skirts around the bottom and floral prints for a feminine touch.

Bean Bags

• Some prefer a bedroom with a casual and comfortable atmosphere, and the bean bag chair fits that mold. Bean bag chairs, consistently popular among teenagers and college students since the 1970s, are basically large sacks filled with either dry beans or a similar synthetic item. The chairs conform to the shape of your body when you sit in them, which accounts for their comfort. The covers of bean bag chairs vary in texture, from velour to vinyl, and some even come shaped with armrests and headrests.

Bench

• For those who prefer something practical and unobtrusive, a bedroom bench provides a utilitarian option. Benches usually come with cushions for comfort and feature a seat that lifts up, revealing a chest you can use for extra storage. Benches vary in length, and some come with an armrest, as well as a matching ottoman.
