There is only one other piece of bedroom furniture that’s more multifunctional than your bed. You know what it is? A chair. That’s because the right chair functions not only as a comfortable seat, but also as a cozy nook for reading or working, a bed for napping pets, and a storage rack for clothes. (It’s totally fine to have a clothes or laundry chair, and you don’t have to get rid of it if you don’t want to.)

The only tricky things about finding the perfect chair for your bedroom are making sure it doesn’t take up too much space and figuring out which chair style meets all your needs. Do you need an accent chair or an armchair? Or maybe something that fits into a corner? Perhaps a tiny recliner or mini ottoman is what you’re looking for. Whatever your situation is, you’re guaranteed to find the right fit in one of our favorite small bedroom chairs below.

Dazone Purple Armchair and Ottoman
$188$150

Give yourself a place to put your feet up with this accent chair and ottoman combo. The two modern pieces come in three color options and can be used together or as two separate chairs when you need them to. Their high-density foam cushioning makes for a comfy seat, too.

Esra Rocking Chair
$243$187

Kick back in this compact rocking chair, which is available in five colors and has a sewn-on storage pocket on the right side to hold a book or any random knickknacks. Its solid wood legs are simple and handsome, and they give you enough room to comfortably lean back without taking up much more floor space than a regular chair.

Modern Boho Accent Chair
$140

By losing the arms and extending the width of the seat, the designers of this Boho-chic chair give you enough room to comfortably sit cross legged — which is great if you like to fidget or adjust your position as you sit. Its rattan seat and backrest are comfortable, breezy, and supportive, and the chair's simple shape gives you plenty of room to hang clothes.

Riley Sectional
$339$259

To make the most of a limited amount of space, add this comfy corner chair to your bedroom. It turns any corner into a cushioned seat that you can lounge in or sit in while you're either getting ready in the morning or winding down at night before bed. It's a smart addition to any bedroom that already has other chairs but could use another seating option.

$259 at PB Teen
Wesley Faux Leather Lounge Chair
$329

Details such as wooden armrests and a handsome faux-leather upholstery make this lounge chair both a functional piece of furniture and a modern decor item. Its minimalist metal frame lets you store things under the chair if needed, so you don't have to sacrifice storage in order to get the seating you want.

$329 at Urban Outfitters
LUE BONA Folding Woven Leather Accent Chair
$150

Want a chair that can disappear at a moment's notice? Get this folding lounge chair. It packs up so you can store it behind other furniture or lean it against a wall, and while in use it gives you a comfortable and surprisingly roomy place to sit down and relax. It's available in gray and brown colors and made with faux-leather straps.

$150 at Walmart
Brookside Lara Modern Cream Accent Chair
$189

Get a clean and modern look in your bedroom with this small-space-friendly accent chair. Its wooden legs and neutral fabric color options help it blend in seamlessly with your decor scheme, and its plush foam cushions keep you comfortable. And if you ever need to tuck it away in a corner or move it to another room, it's light enough to carry around with ease.

$189 at Lowe's
Ruthie Recliner
$370$324

You wouldn't expect this classic armchair to also be a recliner — and that's what makes it so amazing, in our opinion. Just lean back to make the leg rest extend, then press it back into place when you're done. With 12 color options, including a faux leather model, we're not surprised this secret recliner has over 2,000 5-star ratings.

$324 at Wayfair
Passo Sprout Green Office Chair
$199

While this minimalist office chair is an ideal choice if you have a desk or work area in your bedroom, it works just as great as a standalone seating option. Its wheels pivot to roll in any direction, and a simple lever lets you adjust the seat height as needed. We're fans of the Sprout Green color, although the Gold and Gray are equally as nice.

Ceedment Modern Living Accent Chair
$120

With 11 color options and the choice to have either fuzzy or smooth upholstery, this compact accent chair is a smart way to give your bedroom a modern refresh (and get the look that matches its current decor scheme). You also save money when you buy chairs in a pair, so you can get one for your bedroom and use the other one in your living room.
