Do you prioritize functionality over style in your home decor choices? When it comes to your home’s entryway, both are essential. The right choice of bench can significantly improve the look and function of this high-traffic space.
A practical piece of furniture
An entryway bench is a convenient spot to put on and take off your shoes or boots. Benches are especially useful for older adults and parents with young children. Available in various models, entryway benches can greatly improve your storage capacity, an essential advantage in smaller spaces.
The right model
No two home entrances are alike, so you’ll need to choose a bench that fits your unique space. Consider these features in making your selection:
• A small, streamlined bench with clean, modern lines that won’t crowd the room
• A storage bench with a fold-down seat and hidden compartment for gloves, bags and hats
• A bench with a built-in coat rack to hang your jackets—ideal if you don’t have a hall closet
• A bench with storage cubes or baskets and multiple compartments to help organize your accessories
The type of hardware materials, such as wood or metal, along with upholstery like leather or fabric, will influence the price. Visit a furniture retailer near you to find the perfect bench for your entryway.
