Unique benches and settees are a great way to spice up the look of any room in your home or office.
Far more than simply a place to sit, a bench can add character and tone to your décor. Consider a caned bergére settee, or a painted and distressed French country bench with a rush seat, or a fabulous Art Deco settee. With a painted bench you can add a pop of color in a dreary entry or spice up a room of brown furniture. A nicely curved leg always attracts attention! Cabriole or straight, legs get noticed! Rush seats keep it casual and caned backs reminiscent of 18th century Paris make a statement in any room. Want a nice bench for your garden? Try a teak root bench for an organic, natural look. Teak survives the sun and rain - no worries.
Where can you put a bench or settee? In the den, they can be pulled up for extra seating. In a bedroom, at the foot of the bed, they give you a place to sit and put on your shoes, or will help your pampered pet jump into your bed. In a bathroom a small bench supplies seating to a vanity in a tight space, just tuck it underneath after use. A wood bench in a kitchen helps you reach a tall cabinet or provides seating for a friend while you are cooking. And for your entry foyer a beautiful settee says come on in, you are welcome in this home. A bench on a porch allows you to commune with nature.
