End Of Bed Trends

A centerpiece of yesteryear’s bedrooms, the end of the bed piece is making a comeback in our interiors! Let’s discover together, the end of bed trends that will make our bedrooms stylish!

We are happy to let ourselves be seduced by its practical side and its decorative aspect. Instead of a bulky sofa or a bedside table, it can become a real space saver by serving as a storage chest or helping you with your morning preparations. How to navigate among the different models available? How to make your choice? The end of the bed will soon have no more secrets for you!

A foot of the bed piece, what for?

A must-have end of bed in the past! In chic interiors, it was rare not to come across it in the bedroom, at the foot of the bed or in front of a dressing table.

Today it comes in a multitude of forms and can be suitable for several rooms in the house. Place it in the entryway to temporarily settle in while you put on your shoes. Or to create a quiet corner for making phone calls.

Or give it back its main function by making it join the furniture in your room. Especially since the end of the bed exists in several types:

• The foot of the bed bench: No storage here but a simple practical seat. Padded models, chic and comfortable, are particularly trendy!
• The end of the bed: This includes some storage space. However, be careful with the model chosen because many bed ends are not designed for you to sit on.
• Bed box: A variation of the bed end that can be found in the form of a box. Store your bed linen, your extra cushions and all those little things lying around that you want to hide. A lid closes everything.

–A touch of elegance in the bedroom

Don’t hesitate to move away from the classic bench and opt for a more original model! Choose it in accordance with your furniture and the chosen colors and move it in front of your mirror or your window as you wish.

Perfect for storing your piles of books, an extra blanket or the breakfast tray to declutter your bedside table… It will also be appreciated in the children’s bedroom where it will provide additional storage which will definitely be welcome. Sheets, toys, school or art materials, nothing can resist it!

How to choose your end of bed?

A pretty bedside table, a floor lamp which will create the ideal light point, a painting to complete the wall decoration… The comfort of a bedroom lies in a multitude of small details and the end of the bed is definitely one of them.

To be chosen based on a few criteria. And keeping in mind that it is not suitable for all spaces!

–The size

Here, three measures must be taken into account:

• The width of your bed: Placed at the foot of the bed, we prefer that the bench or end of the bed be of a perfectly identical length to create a beautiful harmony. You will also find them 140, 160 or 180 cm wide, perfectly suited in the latter case to king-size beds.
• The size and thickness of the mattress: Likewise, your end of the bed should ideally match the top of the mattress and the edges of the bed.
• The space available between the end of the bed and the wall: Make sure to maintain a minimum passage of 1.20 meters in order to facilitate circulation. In case of limited space, shallow benches should be preferred. 30cm should be enough. You can opt for a larger chest in a larger bedroom or in your living room if you wish, in addition to the sofa.

–The style

When it comes to colors and style, it all depends on your tastes and the furniture already installed in your room! Choose an original end of bed that will contrast with the rest of the decoration, or let it blend in nicely with your furniture.

• A wrought iron bench? Excellent idea! This one will go wonderfully with a classic or romantic decoration.
• A dark wooden end of bed? With its raw side enhanced with three original cushions, it nicely invites you to travel. Perfect for exotic or colonial decoration.
• An upholstered bed bench? Quilting is very trendy at the moment! The light tones and chrome steel are particularly intended for a designer and modern atmosphere.
• A velvet chest? Vintage or more modern look, patchwork is definitely back in fashion.

Depending on the desired atmosphere, you will also find bed ends in leather, linen or cotton. The traditional wooden or metal frame can sometimes be replaced by plastic uprights.

–The quality

And of course, such carefully chosen furniture should, if possible, resist over the years. Make sure that your end of bed will last you for a long time by checking its solidity.

The joints must be clean, the furniture stable and resistant. The feet may possibly be fitted with glides to protect your floor.

As for the upholstery mentioned earlier, padding that will retain its shape even after you have sat down will be a guarantee of quality that should not be overlooked.

What end of bed trend is right for me?

Knowing the criteria to take into account when choosing your bed end slightly guides your choice, but does not necessarily make it easier!

This is explained by the multitude of inspirations available.

–A classic Bench

The bench as we have seen is the ideal choice for small spaces. Narrow and minimalist, it structures the room and will blend harmoniously into the decor.

You will take your place there every day to change or finish getting ready. The objects you leave lying there will be delicately enhanced.

Classic decoration or design, the pouf is beautifully versatile! In addition to saving real space, its rounded shapes offer more comfort to your room while providing additional seating.

–A pouf

Choose it well padded to maximize comfort. or opt for an ottoman which will also serve as a storage chest.

–A table

The tables and occasional furniture that are mainly found in the living room have gradually made their way to our bedroom.

–A side table

Transformed into an end of bed, the side table offers some additional storage without taking up space. Choose it in wood, steel or glass to match your decoration.

The rigid surface will even allow you to place a pretty light fixture on it to create soft, indirect lighting.

–A stool

Even smaller than the bench, we think of the stool which can become the end of the bed you needed!

Natural wood or leather, you can place your everyday belongings there so you can easily find them. And to further structure the space, we don’t just have one stool. Two or three placed here and there in your room will definitely create a lovely harmony!

Along the same lines, a footrest could also be an interesting alternative.

–A console

A console as an end of the bed, and why not? It remains an excellent tip for saving space and combining functions. Choose it high for example and slide a chair inside to create an extra desk, perfect for small spaces!

–A chest

Chests or baskets for that matter, it doesn’t matter as long as they have storage! Mostly made of wood, it brings a warm and exotic side while comfortably dressing the room. The strongest ones can even be used as a bench.

–A sofa

Last idea for good-sized rooms, a pretty sofa! Enough to create a small dressing room or arrange the room to give it several functions. A particularly interesting idea for a loft or a studio for example. A simple sofa becomes a real separation between the sleeping area and the lounge area.

To complete the aesthetic of any bedroom, it is important to choose quality bedding and matching accessories. Soft, luxurious sheets, thick blankets and fluffy pillows can make all the difference in comfort and style!
