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.  

When choosing a bench or settee for your home, carefully consider the details in design, style and wood to add visual interest and personal taste to your selection. 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!

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.

Rush seats keep it casual and caned backs reminiscent of 18th century Paris make a statement in any room.

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 that sets the tone for your home, a beautiful settee says come on in, you are welcome in this home.  A bench on a porch allows you to commune with nature.

Whether you choose mahogany or teak, painted or unpainted, with or without arms, the construction of your bench is the framework of the piece. While the seating and back can be varied according to your individual taste, the framework is the skeleton and should be strong as well as beautiful so your bench will last for generations.
