The bench or bench seat, the trendy piece of furniture in interior design

The bench or bench seat, the trendy piece of furniture | Decoclico

A great alternative to a bulky sofa, armchair or chair, while offering enough space for several people. Both benches and banquettes are versatile and can be used both indoors and out, creating convivial spaces.

Decoclico guides you through the latest bench and banquette trends!

1. In the hall

A pretty bench in the entrance hall lets you escape the outside world and enter the intimacy of your home. It's certainly useful for putting down your bag or putting on your shoes, but we also agree that an entrance bench is the most appropriate piece of furniture for this first room, the airlock to the house. Combined with cushions and a small table, it's possible to create a little corner where you can relax for longer.

2. Off to bed!

The bed bench (or bout de lit) has become an essential! We use it to put our things or blankets on, but also to put on our shoes. The bed bench can replace a bedside table or complement it. Placed at the foot of the bed, it furnishes the room and becomes a real decorative element in your bedroom.

3. Shower time!

In the bathroom, it's great to be able to sit down to cream, take off your shoes or keep an eye on your child in the bath. It can also be used for storage, with a number of baskets . Both the indoor bench and the outdoor bench are ideal for this room.

4. At the table!

A bench saves space, and can invite more guests than if you had chairs! Whether it's a garden bench or an indoor bench, it works and it's trendy! Add cushions for smaller people and you're ready to go!

5. The living room

The rattan bench can complete the furnishing of a living room, or even replace the sofa; all you have to do is play with the mattresses and cushions on what has become the banquette sofa. Don't hesitate to complement the banquette with a matching bench to create a real space for discussion and sharing.

6. The outdoor living room

We love our outdoor seating with its wooden benches! We're particularly fond of the taman collection collection, made exclusively of bamboo. A real outdoor living room! We can also imagine a reading corner at the bottom of the garden, with a small wooden bench embellished with cushions.
