With the hustle and bustle of daily life comes the need for a quiet retreat. Cozy bedroom sitting areas provide a private place to cozy up with a cup of coffee or to read a book without ever unmaking your bed!

One of the best parts of bedroom sitting is that you don’t need a ton of space- you just need to be creative with the space you have. From tucked away corners to complete lounge spaces, check out some of our favorite bedroom seating designs. 

Hanging Egg Chair

Short on floor space? No problem- use the ceiling! A hanging egg chair instantly brings a playful yet relaxing vibe to this bunk room. It’s a perfect little hideaway for guests to curl up with a book or settle in for good conversation, while adding a touch of the unexpected to the space. 

Fireside Dreams

Nothing says cozy like a fireplace in the bedroom. Pairing it with nearby seating and a bookshelf makes this room feel intimate and warm, perfect for quiet evenings or slow early mornings by the fire. 

Built in Bookshelves

A tucked away room complete with built-in bookshelves adds storage and sets the tone for reading and reflection. We love this little personal library!

Bunk Room Hangout

In a bunk room, creating a separate sitting area allows the space to double as a hangout zone for kids and young adults. A sofa and twin loveseats provide the seating in this Kiawah bunk room, while a small coffee table offers a spot for snacks and boardgames. 

Embracing Natural Light

Large, floor-to-ceiling windows allow the outdoor views to steal the show in this Kiawah bedroom. The natural light and a cozy sofa positioned in front of the window work together to create a calming retreat, perfect for soaking in the view or relaxing with a good book.

Perfect Pair for Conversation

A pair of chairs centered around a shared ottoman adds an intimate spot for two people to share a conversation. This setup is ideal for couples, offering a place to relax while maintaining individual seating.

Showstopping Windows

The curved design of this wall of windows gives the feeling of being fully immersed in the natural outdoor surroundings. Add a set of twin cozy chairs and it makes the perfect space to wind down in the evening. 

Tucked Away Corner

A single upholstered chair tucked beside a fireplace is the ultimate retreat. It’s a quiet, inviting nook perfect for reading, journaling, or simply cozying up with a light throw blanket by the fire.

At MDI, we love creating spaces that truly embrace our clients’ lifestyles. While the common areas built for hosting often steal the show, the quiet, private spaces should never be overlooked. These thoughtful sitting areas create spaces where life is meant to be lived, memories are made, and quiet moments are savored. Be sure to check out our portfolio for more restful design inspiration!
