A bench is an incredibly versatile piece and it can be used in many different ways. With the proper decor, you’ll see how good of an investment it is.
Here are some ideas for your bench:
1 - Entryway
It not only looks good, but it will optimize your entry. It’ll help you to organize your footwear, and place your keys or seat while putting on your shoes before leaving your home.
2 - Bedroom
Near the feet of your bed is one of the most common places for your bench. You can keep your extra pillows, books and stuff you want nearby when you go to sleep.
3 - Living room
You can use your bench as a coffee table, you can place your coffee or even use it as extra seating for your guests.
4 - Divider
If your dining room and your living room are in the same area, you can use your bench behind the sofa to create the illusion of a divider and it can also be a bridge to different areas as it can be used from any direction.
Plank bench is a good solution as it is made of 100% solid ash and the wooden look creates a good and neutral balance for your space.
5 - Dining room
This is more likely in a European or Scandinavian style, but using a bench as a chair at your dining table can be interesting.
