Farmhouse bedroom benches are an architectural statement that enhance guest bedrooms and master bedrooms alike. Beyond their stylish form, they can add extra seating space, incorporate storage, and ensure your decorative pillows don’t have to lay on the ground while you sleep. Sounds like something you need in your home? Here are three things you should keep in mind when picking a farmhouse bedroom bench.

First off, a bench at the end of a bed should have approximately 6″ to 8″ of space on either side to create visual balance. Secondly, backless benches tend to be a bedroom favorite as they are less bulky and won’t clash with any footboards. However, if you don’t have a footboard or you’re seeking a bold look, a farmhouse bedroom bench with a back may be up your alley. Lastly, all design rules are meant to be broken!

The curated list below proves that benches with more or less than the recommended room on each side can still look awe-worthy. And there are certainly a few picks that pair a footboard with a bench with a back. Keep scrolling for 40 fabulous farmhouse bedroom bench ideas that follow the design rules, forge their own path, and everything in between!

23 Perfect Kitchen Wall Color Ideas With White Cabinets

Let a symphony of color flow through your mind when imagining the right kitchen wall color ideas for white cabinets. White cabinets should be viewed as a blank canvas, open to accommodating any surroundings with ease, which is what makes this particular cabinet color an all-time favorite.
Choosing the right wall color can help with the flow of light through a kitchen and add a lively flair to the most popular room in the house. A soft blue, cool green, or off-white can welcome the flow of sunlight and brighten up the entire space.
If paint isn’t your preferred method of infusing color, opt for a stunning backsplash with a little something special. Tile with a glossy finish will give your walls a pristine look. A backsplash is traditionally installed between cabinets, but with all the new styles, you will be tempted to extend those tiles up to the ceiling, which you totally should!
Do more than just imagine the possibilities, see some incredible kitchen wall color ideas with white cabinets in our gallery below.
