I could totally envision any of the following chic benches in a posh bedroom situated at the foot of a bed or positioned to the side in a sitting area. I'm most attracted to option one- which is surprisingly affordable, as well as the last bench of the set. I've always loved odd shapes and that waterfall bench is no exception!

In my opinion, woven furniture always looks classic and will never go out of style. Whether you're trying to pull off boho vibes, curate a modern beach cottage, or are going for a global appeal- these benches will do your home justice! I'm saving option four, only because it's SO unique and I have yet to find anything remotely close to this shape and design... it's definitely a top contender.
01: riviera bench // 02: carson backless bench // 03: black and white woven bench// 04: ellis bench // 05: wrap bench
Storage benches are super functional and we could all stand to add a little practicality to our life. These would be fantastic in a living room, entryway, or closet. Imagine the amount of shoes, blankets, or linens you could tuck away.
01: upholstered storage bench // 02: sliding door bench with cushion // 03: nailhead upholstered storage bench // 04: mid-century entryway bench // 05: lincoln storage bench
My dream is to someday have a gorgeous modern bench with a large (think giant) piece of photographic art hanging above it. I think it would look minimal and sophisticated, all while making a statement.
01: nelson platform bench with metal legs // 02: leather rove bench // 03: lenox three seat bench // 04: porter bench in walnut // 05: momo walnut & lucite bench
For those of you who prefer to decorate in an over-the-top sort of manner... these are for you! The one thing these glam benches all have in common- luxe materials. Velvet, linen, brass, lucite, mink, and even mohair. If you've got a taste for luxury and glam, look no further than the following...
01: noir batista bench // 02: velvet edlyn bench // 03: lucite & hide bench // 04: black and gold bench // 05: emory white cutout bench // 06: black mink velvet bench
For some reason, I always gravitate toward masculine and industrial pieces (I currently own option two). I like the look and obviously all of these pieces speak to me, but during my next renovation- I'm going to try to challenge myself to take a step outside of my comfort zone. I'm just making it verrrry difficult by including options like number one. Sigh.
01: black and white mud cloth bench // 02: principle bench // 03: metal industry bench // 04: wood and chrome bench // 05: outline bench // 06: industrial oak and steel bench
The next set is for the guys... although I'd gladly buy any of these for myself. These benches all include masculine materials, like wood and leather, as well as classic and simplistic shapes.
01: three seater slat bench // 02: upholstered tapered leg bench // 03: henri leather bench // 04: johnson bench // 05: camel tufted leather bench
How would you use a bench in your home? Which options or looks are most appealing? I'm really tempted to buy a couple, even though I have no idea where I'd put them at this point!
