Buy Bedroom Accents Online at Sleeping Giant
The right bedroom accents can turn a functional room into a genuinely comfortable one. A well-placed armchair, a soft ottoman at the foot of the bed, or a bench that adds both seating and style — these are the pieces that make a bedroom feel finished rather than just furnished. At Sleeping Giant, our range of accents covers armchairs, ottomans and bed ends in a mix of sizes, fabrics and finishes, so you can find pieces that suit your space. Browse the collection below, or explore our full furniture range to shop the rest of the bedroom.
What Are Bedroom Accents?
Accent pieces are the furniture that adds character and function to a room without dominating it. In a bedroom, this usually means an armchair, an ottoman, or a bed end bench — pieces that offer somewhere to sit, rest your feet, or set something down, without needing the footprint of a full lounge suite.
The ottoman itself has a long history in home furnishing. It was originally introduced to European homes in the late 18th century as a padded, backless seat, and it's since become a familiar piece of bedroom and living room furniture around the world. Today's bedroom accents borrow from that same idea — comfortable, flexible pieces that don't need to match every other item in the room to earn their place.
Bed Ends & Benches: Completing the Foot of Your Bed
A bed end or bench is one of the simplest ways to finish off the foot of the bed. Beyond looking considered, it gives you somewhere to sit while putting on shoes, or a spot to lay out an outfit or extra throw.
Bed ends work particularly well in larger bedrooms where there's room to spare at the foot of the bed, though slimmer benches can also suit more modest spaces.
Occasional Chairs for Small Bedrooms
Smaller bedrooms don't have to miss out on an accent chair. An occasional chair with a slim frame and compact proportions can slot into a corner without eating into the room's usable floor space.
Look for a chair with a smaller footprint and lighter construction, so it's easy to move if you need the extra floor space for something else.
Styling Your Bedroom Accents to Match Your Decor
Once your accent pieces are in place, it's worth spending a little time styling them. A cushion or throw on an armchair, or a small tray on top of an ottoman, helps the piece feel intentional rather than just functional.
Keep it simple — one or two styling touches usually looks more considered than an overcrowded surface, and it keeps the piece easy to actually use.
Pairing Accents with Your Bed Frame & Bedroom Furniture
Accent pieces don't need to match your bed frame exactly, but choosing a similar tone or fabric family usually helps the room feel more cohesive. A boucle armchair pairs naturally with a boucle bed frame, while a velvet ottoman can work well alongside timber or upholstered furniture.
If you're building out a full bedroom, it's generally easier to choose your bed frame first, then select accent pieces that complement it rather than compete with it.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between an armchair and an ottoman?
An armchair has a full seat, back and arms, and is built for longer sitting, while an ottoman is backless and often doubles as a footrest, extra seating or storage.
What size accent chair suits a small bedroom?
Look for a slim, compact occasional chair with a smaller footprint, so it adds seating without crowding the walkway around your bed.
Do storage ottomans actually hold much?
It depends on the size, but most storage ottomans comfortably fit spare throws, linen or out-of-season bedding, making them a practical option alongside their use as seating.
Should my accent pieces match my bed frame?
Not exactly, but choosing a similar fabric or tone — like boucle with boucle, or timber with timber accents — usually gives the room a more cohesive feel.
How do I care for a velvet or boucle armchair?
Vacuum regularly, spot clean spills promptly, and keep the piece out of direct sunlight to help the fabric last.
