Joyce Moreira - Casa Maré. Em sua terceira edição, a arquiteta Joyce Moreira assina a Casa Maré, ambiente de 25,38 m² que traduz o tema pela serenidade litorânea. O ritmo das marés é a metáfora para o descanso do casal, unindo funcionalidade e afeto. O piso de pedras naturais harmoniza-se à paleta verde suave e à marcenaria de MDF Tauari Zênite. Detalhes de pedra Quartzito Del Mare e o floral de Ina Mazzei – homenagem à avó da profissional – reforçam a emoção. Com design brasileiro e luz intimista, o foco é a reconexão sensorial.

The bench at the foot of the bed is an element capable of transforming the bedroom composition without requiring major renovations. In addition to filling the space between the bed and the walkway, the piece can serve as support for clothes, books, blankets and decorative objects, making the projects more functional.

Its versatility also allows for different aesthetic interpretations. Upholstered, in wood, with a sculptural design or minimalist lines, the bench fits proposals ranging from classic to contemporary. Below, check out modern inspirations for including this feature in your decor!

The first aspect to observe is the relationship between the bench, the bed and the available space. In general, the piece is usually between two-thirds and three-quarters of the width of the bed, maintaining a balanced composition without compromising circulation.

In small bedrooms, narrow models or those with exposed legs help preserve the sense of spaciousness. Larger rooms, on the other hand, allow for exploring more robust pieces, which occupy the space in a proportional way.

The choice of finish directly influences how the projects are read. Benches in natural wood dialogue with welcoming and timeless proposals, while upholstered models add texture and visual comfort.

Metallic structures, natural fibers and combinations of different materials, on the other hand, can reinforce contemporary, industrial or Brazilian design-inspired languages. The important thing is that the piece communicates with the other furniture and finishes of the projects.

The bench can also contribute to building the bedroom color palette. One possibility is to repeat tones present in the headboard, curtains, or bedding, creating visual continuity and a more harmonious composition.

Another alternative is to use the piece as a focal point, introducing a new color or texture to the project. Fabrics such as linen, bouclé, leather, and velvet, for example, help create different atmospheres without overloading the decor.

The visual impact of the piece depends as much on the design as on the rest of the composition. Benches with straight, discreet lines tend to blend easily into the project, while sculptural design models can take center stage in the decor.

Regardless of the choice, the ideal is to seek balance. When the bed already has a striking headboard or many decorative elements, a bench with a simpler design usually works better. In minimalist compositions, however, the piece can gain more prominence and reinforce the personality of the bedroom.

In addition to completing the decor, the bench can perform different functions in everyday life. It can serve as a support for clothes while changing, hold blankets and pillows, or work as extra seating.

In some projects, models with internal compartments offer additional space to store bedding and occasional-use items, combining practicality and organizationin a single piece of furniture.
