The quick Scoop
Why every room needs a bench
A bench is the quickest fix for a bed that looks unfinished or an entry that has nowhere to sit. It adds a surface, a seat and a texture in one move.
Texture is the whole point right now. Shearling and soft leather-look finishes are what shoppers are saving, and a bench is a low-risk way to try one.

How to style a bench
At the end of the bed
Pick a bench slightly narrower than the bed so the lines stay clean, and fold a throw over one end.
In the entryway
Put a basket or a pair of shoes under it. A bench with a soft top invites you to sit down and take your time.
Under a window
A bench turns a blank window wall into a reading spot with one move.
