Accent Benches

You'd be hard-pressed to find an interior with no chairs, but when was the last time you visited a home with an accent bench? Most people imagine lavish, velvet interiors when they think of accent benches. But these understated pieces of furniture are now affordable and trendy, allowing you to remain stylish while still on a budget. Whether at the foot of a bed, in a hallway, or used as additional seating in a living room, accent benches are unique and stylish, serving as practical and decorative furniture pieces.

Different Types of Accent Benches

There are various accent benches, each lending a different feel and function to a room.

• Storage Benches: Lift-up seats, drawers, and open shelves make these benches ideal for homes with lots of storage needs. You'll usually find these in hallways, garages, or entryways.

• Settee Benches: Resembling a compact sofa, this style of accent bench has a backrest and can work as additional seating or live on its own. Settee benches can be leather or upholstered, adding visual interest and elegance to a room.

• Cross Benches: Distinguished by their cross or X-shaped base, many cross benches are upholstered and typically found in bedrooms and lavish bathrooms.

• Backless Benches: The most classic and recognizable design, backless benches have a range of practical uses. From minimalist and industrial benches to farmhouse-style wooden designs, backless accent benches go with any decor.
