BEAUTIFYING WITH BENCHES

1. A Stellar Accent Piece

If you need a gorgeous addition to accentuate the details of a fabulous bedroom, try placing a custom bench at the foot of the bed. Using colors and textures that are already represented in the room really unifies the whole look. Plus, it’s always nice to have a good place to put on your shoes!
Bonus Tip: For a truly stunning piece, opt for a unique draping technique on your upholstered bench.
2. An Ideal Space-Filler

In order to be aesthetically pleasing, a room needs balance. If you have an awkward empty corner that needs a little something, a nice comfy bench could be the solution to your problem. It looks great and offers extra seating when needed.

Bonus Tip: A fully upholstered rectangular bench such as this one adds more girth to the space. If you want more of an airy feel, try a smaller bench with exposed legs.
3. An Elegant Focal Point
When glam is the goal, the right bench can provide that perfect touch of elegance. Coupling a standout fabric with a shiny stainless steel base will make for a stunning focal point.

Bonus Tip: An upholstered bathroom bench could be a breeding ground for mold if you’re not careful. Place it far enough away from faucets and keep wet towels off its surface.  
4. A Comfy Storage Area

Although this piece might technically be considered a “storage ottoman” instead of a bench, it still serves a similar purpose, and it’s too awesome not to include. After all, any time you can combine comfort and functionality in one piece, you’ve found a winner in our books.
5. A Dazzling Dining Addition

One growing trend that we are totally on board with is mixed-and-matched seating at the dining area. Benches are great in this area because they offer ample seating and style. Additionally, the fact that they are backless makes the area look more open and inviting instead of seeming closed off.
Bonus Tip: The key to achieving a cohesive look with mismatched dining pieces is to incorporate unifying elements such as color and texture.
