Size
In a bedroom, accent benches make inexpensive alternatives to traditional footboards. For the best look, choose a bench that is approximately three-fourths the width of and slightly shorter than the bed. They also make chic additions providing extra seating in the living room or can be a convenient place to sit and put your shoes on in the entryway of your home. If your bench will be placed near a doorway or directly beside sofas and chairs, make sure that its size allows for plenty of walking space.
Budget & Materials
These pieces can range in price depending on their materials. Most accent benches are constructed of solid wooden frames and have versatile cotton, linen blend, microfiber or leather cushions. Pieces made with luxury fabrics, such as velvet and silk, tend to cost more and can be less durable.
Color
Because of their small size, accent benches are ideal for adding eye-catching colors and patterns to any room. If your room already has colors and patterns, or you prefer a more muted approach to decorating, neutral-colored pieces seamlessly blend into existing decor. Accent benches come in a range of hues like:
Styles
Accent benches with sleek, elegant lines are popular choices for contemporary rooms. Those that include built-in storage serve a functional role, as they are ideal for tucking away items like out-of-season clothes and extra blankets. For a more traditional look, choose accent benches with decorative nailheads, buttons, or patterned fabrics. Tufted and chaise-style benches add a touch of comfort and elegance to your room.
