One of my favorite pieces of furniture is the Settee. Not only are Settees the fashionable but they provide function in so many home decor applications.
The Settee is a perfect option for seating at the foot of a bed. Because they are larger in scale than a chair they balance the weight of a bed and add visual impact within a bedroom.
I love the idea of a Settee in a library or reading room. It provides the perfect spot for lounging solo or sitting with someone special while reading.
As an accent in a living room, Settees provide additional seating without overpowering a space.
Tucked in front of a mirror in a bedroom, hallway or pass through, a Settee adds the charm. And, the Settee is the perfect piece of furniture upholstered in a statement piece of fabric.
Replacing what would in most cases be a piece of furniture, a Settee keeps the space at the end of a foyer open and airy!

Tucked into those often neglected alcoves, a Settee makes this space come alive and purposeful!
Even in a more contemporary styled room, a Settee can make a statement and complete the look. I love the curved details of this Settee amongst all the square and rectangular pieces.
One of my favorite applications for Settees is as an alternative to dining chairs. This dining space is so much more intimate and cozy with twin Settees.

In small rooms the Settee is a great alternative to a traditional sofa or grouping of chairs.
If you’re looking to make changes in your decor or need to save on space, a Settee is a very practical and stylish option!
Thanks for stopping by today!
Shelly,
I love having a Settee at the foot of my bed. Now that I have a two year old grandson, he thinks that this is his jumping jack. Not!
