3 Colorful, Comfortable, & Creative Ways to Add Benches to Your Space
That old lady at the park, feeding the pigeons from a brown paper bag, a couple of girlfriends sitting near a window looking over vintage photo albums, children playing with their food at the dinner table—does anything stand out in your mind when you read about these people? Maybe they easily conjure up a bit of nostalgia, but if you were to carefully picture these situations in your mind, they may also bring up a little-talked-about but popular form of seating.
BenchesWhether a park bench, an indoor bench situated near a windowsill, or a dining bench, bench seating offers a comfortable, multi-person seating option that can not only be used as backup seating but also as a colorful statement or accent piece. Benches are traditionally used as multipurpose furniture for different spaces throughout a residence or commercial building. They're simple and efficient, making this a preferred decorative seat that adds an element of character to any space. Benches can serve a broad range of uses including outdoor seating in parks and a variety of other places for use in offices, houses, and buildings. They are available in various forms, sizes, styles, and colors.
Park Benches to Create an Outdoor LoungePark benches are not an everyday purchase that individuals tend to make, but they offer so much in the way of outdoor living. Not only do they bring weather resistance and durability to outdoor seating, but they can also add color (and even texture) to liven up a backyard, outdoor office patio, or apartment yard. Mix and match a few colorful benches - short and long, red, yellow, or solid wood, bench swings, and bench stools - and place them together in a convenient area such as on a grassy or graveled ground. To make it a real living space, add a coffee table or a fire pit.
Dining Benches as Comfortable Open Office SeatingDining benches are comfy, come in a variety of upholstery and shades, and remind us all about how much more we prefer the booth at restaurants. If you work in an open office floor plan, position a few dining benches against a wall and match them with long tables, or short square ones. Bringing in a variety of seating and seating areas in modern offices is how employers can help cater to a variety of working styles for their employees. Adding a dining bench instead of a traditional stacking chair to the open office will add a bit of style and visual interest.
Indoor Bench For Dorm Room Storage and SeatingDorm rooms can be tiny (Newsflash!). That means any furniture pieces that come in should be versatile. A bench can easily sit in a hallway, be used as a side table, hold books, and act as seating for guests as needed. Dare I say even as a makeshift table? While those suggestions may seem extreme, having an extra comfortable place to sit or set your belongings is the functionality and versatility a bench seat offers. Choose a casual-style bench that can add a bit of sophistication to your dorm area. Also, take into account longevity and comfort by focusing on quality pieces within the range of affordability
ConclusionLiving rooms, bedrooms, hallways, office lounges, dorms, patios, and a dining room all offer a convenient spot to add a bit of color, create your own unique seating area or to maximize space with a bench seat.
