Practical and space-saving, the wooden bench is a piece of furniture that can be used for all kinds of decorative purposes. This easy-to-use piece of furniture can be placed in all rooms of the house and adapts to all spaces, large and small. Here are 4 ideas for using a bench in your decor, whether it’s a model with a vintage look or a contemporary design.
Idea 1: a bench as a coffee table
Play around with the different sizes of benches to create a coffee table adapted to the space you have. In a narrow living room, a bench as a coffee table is a space-saving asset, thanks to its narrow width. In a room with a large sofa, replace the coffee table with a long bench, which is more practical and much friendlier.
Idea 2: a bench as a console
Use a bench as a console behind a sofa, between two windows, in a small hallway. The advantage of benches is that they come in all lengths and all heights: you will easily find the model that suits you. Put a painting on it (this avoids drilling the wall), a vase, and some beautiful books as if it were a real console.
Idea 3: a bench at the end of the bed
In the bedroom, the bench acts as an end of the bed on which to place cushions, a blanket, or a plaid. It can also serve as a purely decorative element, like a console, and serve as a support for a few books or objects.
Idea 4: a bench in the bathroom
In the bathroom, the bench isn’t just for sitting down and primping. It also allows you to put beauty products, magazines, and candles for a relaxing session in your bath.
