X-Base Stool Approaches: Uses Throughout Your Home

The sequence matters: decide the footprint, then the finish, then the accessories. A strong choice is using X-base stools in the house because they're such versatile decor pieces! Today I'm sharing the many ways that you can use them throughout different rooms of your home plus the preferred stylish X-base stool picks!

X-Base Stools in Bedrooms

One of the preferred spots for X-base stools is at the foot of a bed in bedrooms. It's the perfect spot to place any decorative pillows you take off your bed at night or clothes you might re-wear the next day. It can also be a nice spot to sit while you're putting on shoes or slippers.

For twin beds, you'd need just a single stool at the end of the bed:

while a pair of stools looks best with larger beds. I use a pair of camp stools similar to {these} at the foot of the king bed in my own bedroom:

As an added plus, these camp stools fold for easy storage when they're not needed.

X-Base Stools in Entryways

A strong choice is open consoles in entryways and they're the perfect spot to tuck a pair of stools:
