A bench can be much more than just a place to sit. It can serve as a decorative element in the hallway, a practical piece of furniture in the dining room, or a cosy feature in the garden. With the many materials, designs and sizes available today, there are plenty of opportunities to find a bench that perfectly suits your interior style and needs.

In this article, you’ll get an overview of what to consider when choosing a bench, as well as inspiration for different types and brands that can help you find the right solution.

The article presents a wide selection of benches representing different styles, materials and functions. The aim is to provide an overview of the many possibilities so that you can more easily assess which type of bench best suits your home. The information about the products is based on publicly available descriptions from manufacturers and retailers and is summarised to provide a clear and informative overview.

Factors to consider when buying a bench

When choosing a bench, it’s about both aesthetics and functionality. Here are some of the most important factors to take into account.

1. Purpose and placement

First, think about where the bench will be placed. A hallway bench should usually be practical and sturdy, while a bench in the living room or bedroom can have a more decorative expression. For outdoor use, you should choose materials that can withstand the weather.

2. Material and maintenance

Wooden benches provide a warm and natural look, while metal and stone create a more modern appearance. Upholstered benches for indoor use offer extra comfort but require a bit more maintenance. For outdoor use, teak, acacia wood or powder-coated metal are good choices as they are resistant to moisture.

3. Size and proportions

Measure the area where the bench will stand and choose a size that fits harmoniously. A bench that’s too large can seem dominant, while one that’s too small may lose its function. Also consider the seat height – especially if the bench will be used at a table.

4. Storage options

Some benches have built-in storage under the seat, which is practical in small spaces. It can be ideal in the hallway for shoes, blankets or bags, or in the bedroom for bed linen and cushions.

5. Style and expression

The bench can be a statement piece or a discreet part of the décor. Choose a style that harmonises with the rest of your home – from classic and rustic to minimalist and modern.

Different types of benches

There are many types of benches, each with its own advantages and specific uses.

1. Hallway benches

Hallway benches combine function and aesthetics. They provide a practical place to sit when putting on shoes and can also offer storage. Many models have shelves or drawers that help keep the hallway tidy.

2. Dining benches

A dining bench can create an informal and cosy atmosphere around the dining table. It provides flexible seating and can easily be pushed under the table when not in use – perfect for smaller homes.

3. Storage benches

These benches have a lift-up lid or drawers that provide extra storage space. They are ideal in the bedroom, children’s room or hallway where extra space is often needed.

4. Outdoor benches

Outdoor benches are designed to withstand the elements. They come in many materials – from classic wood to modern metal and plastic. A bench in the garden or on the terrace creates a cosy spot to enjoy the sun or a cup of coffee.

5. Decorative benches

Frequently asked questions

Which material is best for a bench?

It depends on where the bench will be used. For indoor use, wood and upholstery are popular choices, while teak, acacia wood and metal are best for outdoor use as they withstand moisture and temperature changes.

How do I maintain a wooden bench?

Indoor wooden benches only need to be wiped with a damp cloth. Outdoor wooden benches should be oiled once or twice a year to preserve the colour and protect against weather exposure.

How high should a bench be?

A standard seat height is between 45 and 48 cm, which suits most dining tables and makes the bench comfortable to sit on. For decorative purposes, the height can vary more.

Can a bench be used as storage furniture?

Yes, many benches have built-in storage under the seat. It’s a practical solution in small spaces where extra room is needed without compromising on aesthetics.

How do I choose the right bench for my style?

Consider colours, materials and shapes that match the rest of your décor. A wooden bench adds warmth and naturalness, while a metal bench brings a modern and industrial feel.
