Winston Churchill was once asked “Mr. Churchill, to what do you attribute your success in life?”Never stand up when you can sit down. And never sit down when you can lie down.” If you view things similarly to Winston Churchill, sitting rooms in bedrooms beg the question – why have a sitting room when lying down is optimal? I love that Winston Churchill anecdote, but for many activities I prefer sitting… reading, surfing my iPad, thinking to name a few. If you have a full house with kids, a sitting area in your master bedroom can be a quiet and private sanctuary. In my view, it’s a wonderful luxury… and the best part you don’t need too much space or all that big of a budget to make it happen. This article suggest seating options for a master bedroom.

Add some pillows and you’ve created a wonderful sitting area without taking up much space. By “dedicated reading area” I’m referring to one or two reading chairs (or armchairs) angled toward one another. If space permits, add a small table between the chairs for your mini private lounge area. If space permits (and it does in many of today’s larger master suite designs), you can place a full scale living room in the bedroom – a couple of small sofas, a small L-shaped sectional and/or a couple of reading chairs. Of course a coffee table will round out the space. This turns your master suite into a luxury hotel suite making spending time your bedroom a mini-get-away.
You may love or hate this idea – but if space permits, you can easily add a desk and chair in your bedroom.

Maybe it's because we don't have a chair in the bedroom, but we imagine a small one in the corner would come in quite handy. We're sure we wouldn't hang out there for extended periods, but it would be a nice perch for dressing, sitting for a bit - and yes - tossing a garment or two when we're in too big a rush to put things away properly! Here are a few we would consider if we had the space: • 1 Cleo Chair at Anthropologie, $998 • 2 the new Mina Chair at Room and Board, $799 • 3 Marcel Armchair currently on sale at Pottery Barn, $599 - $799 • 4 the Tutumu by Bonaldo is a compact chair suitable for the bedroom and rolls out into a sleeping mat for a house guest • 5 IKEA's Stockholm easy chair, $299
