34 Bedroom Chair Ideas for a Cozy Space

When it comes to designing a bedroom, there are plenty of ways to go. Whether it's a primary bedroom, kid's bedroom, or guest suite, it should be a spot to relax, rejuvenate, and rest, so you're ready to take on the next day.

Aside from the necessary bed, nightstands, light fixtures, and dresser, what else would you consider adding to a bedroom? What about a chair? Curate a reading corner, or use a chair as a spot to put on your shoes in the morning. A chair in a nursery is key for late-night feeds and snuggles, while a small vintage one may merely act as a piece of stylish decor.

Whether your bedroom chair is functional and practical or purely for show, take a look at these 34 bedroom chair ideas below.
