Places to Put Your Bench in Your Home

 

One of the most universally beloved pieces of furniture, a bench is a highly sought-after piece of furniture for many reasons. For one, it provides limitless functionality, adding not just a place to sit but a working piece of art that can amplify any kind of space. But while benches are usually known for being outside, there are plenty of places to put your bench in your home. In fact, you can transform a simple bench into one of the biggest focal points of the home by combining it with high-end luxury furniture. Below, our A. Rudin pros are going to offer some of the best and most surprising locations for your bench to live the next time you’re in the mood to redecorate. 

Places to Put Your Bench in Your Home

End of the Bed 

One popular location for a bench is at the end of the home’s main bed, typically residing in the master bedroom. This bench can double as extra storage, especially if it comes with a lid and hollowed-out space underneath. You can also place blankets and pillows on top of it to serve as additional seating space when you’re in a pinch. 

Out in the Hall

If your bench just doesn’t work super well in any one particular room, you can always leave it out in the hall. Find a space that you’d like to serve as a little nook and add the bench flush with the wall. Add a lamp and a framed piece of artwork on the wall above it and you have separated your hallway into two sections: a seating area and a walkway. 

In the Living Room - As a Table

Depending on the shape, size, and length of the bench, it might serve a better purpose as a table rather than as a type of chair. If you have an oddly-shaped living room that no coffee table will fit in, try a bench! They are just as long but are often more narrow, providing space with a surface area just large enough to fit your books and your coffee and small enough to not engulf the entire living space. 

In the Entryway

If you like the hallway idea but none of your hallways are big or long enough to accommodate a new bench, you can always add a bench to your entryway. Even if you have a small amount of space, you can transform the area behind your front door to be a welcoming space of rest and refreshment. A rustic wooden bench is the perfect addition to a cozy home, and it can also hide some storage items underneath without cluttering up the room. 

At the Dining Room Table

Do you like to eat your meals picnic style? If so, then you should do away with individual dining table chairs and just add some benches on each side. That leaves plenty of room for plenty of family members who have the freedom to move and shift as they please. A bench is a flexible and accessible method of providing seating for multiple people in a hurry. You may end up loving the design so much that you never own a set of dining chairs again!
