Benches – Practical Furniture for the Hallway, Living Room, and Bedroom
Benches are functional pieces of furniture that work well in the hallway, living room, bedroom, wardrobe, foyer, dining room, or commercial spaces. They can serve as extra seating, a bedside element, a spot to sit when entering, or a decorative complement to your decor.
At Eye on Design, you will find benches in various sizes, colors, materials, and styles — from simple modern models to wooden and upholstered benches, as well as more decorative options for Scandinavian, classic, loft, boho, modern classic, and minimalist interiors.
Benches for the Hallway and Foyer
Benches for the hallway help to comfortably organize the entry area. They can serve as a seat for putting on shoes, a place for bags, baskets, textiles, or small accessories needed when leaving the house.
For a narrow corridor, it’s best to choose a bench with a slim profile and appropriate depth to avoid obstructing passage. In a larger foyer, an upholstered model, a bench with a shelf, storage, or a more decorative base will work well.
Benches for the Living Room, Bedroom, and Wardrobe
Benches for the living room can complement a sofa, armchair, coffee table, console, shelf, or relaxation area. Depending on the model, they can serve as additional seating, a light alternative to a pouf, or a decorative accent against the wall.
A bench in the bedroom works well placed by the bed, vanity, wardrobe, or in the dressing room. It can be a spot for laying down throws, blankets, pillows, clothes, or a practical seat during daily preparations.
Upholstered, Wooden, and Decorative Benches
Upholstered benches add softness to the interior and work well in the bedroom, hallway, and living room. Depending on the model, they can be finished with velvet, chenille, boucle, textured fabric, wicker, faux leather, or other upholstery materials.
Wooden benches fit well in Scandinavian, Japandi, boho, and classic interiors. Models with a metal base, black details, or a simple construction can blend nicely into loft, industrial, and modern designs.
How to Choose a Bench?
When selecting benches, pay attention to the length, depth, seat height, material, stability of the base, presence of storage or a shelf, and the amount of space around the furniture. It’s also important to match the bench to the function of the room and the other elements of the decor.
For the hallway, a model with a comfortable seat height and easy access is ideal. For the bedroom, you might choose an upholstered bench, and for the living room, a model that stylistically matches the sofa, armchair, rug, and table.
