You're missing on a lot of decor opportunities if you're utilizing the space at the foot of your bed for anything. It may seem like an insignificant thing to do but placing a bed bench there can really improve the decor and ambiance in the room. Bedroom benches are not must-have furniture piece but they definitely have an important role in the overall aspect of this space. The great thing about them is that there are so many different design possibilities and so many variations that you can be sure you'll find something that suits your style and needs. If not, you can always improvise or having something custom-made just for you.
Before we get into details, let's talk a bit about the alternatives, in case an end of bed bench isn't exactly what you had in mind for this room. There are plenty of other options to choose from. For example, you could put a small dresser at the end of the bed to add some extra storage to the room and to frame the bed at the same time. Another idea can be to put a desk there or to opt for a small sofa and perhaps even a coffee table if there's enough space.

Speaking of this, you could use a trunk instead of an actual bench. Another option could be to have a bench with built-in shelves so you can store some books or extra pillows and blankets in there.

From a purely aesthetic and stylistic point of view, a bedroom storage bench can stand out if it has an interesting shape or if it introduces a new material or texture into the room. Actually, the storage issue is optional in these cases. A bench or its equivalent can add a dash of glamour to a bedroom's decor by featuring a certain print or pattern or by being designed in a particular style.
