Benches are very versatile and provide a cheaper option to the more formal style chairs that tend to be very expensive. Benches can be placed into any room within home and be able to fit into its surroundings. These benches can be bought with or without a storage facility, depending on your requirements.
Kitchen
If you have a kitchen that is large enough, you could create a breakfast nook area where the whole family can sit together each morning to have breakfast. All it takes to create a breakfast nook is to purchase a kitchen table with two benches. If you are limited on space, the table can be placed in the corner of the kitchen with the two benches placed against each side of the corner. You can also purchase a set table and bench set that is designed to be placed in the corner. The two benches are joined together to create one long corner bench. The benefit of using a bench instead of chairs is that you can sit more people around the table.
Children's bedroom
For a child's bedroom, a storage bench is the perfect piece of furniture. Not only can you provide a child a place to sit while they dress and put on their shoes, but you also have the additional storage space to store their toys and books. Children's rooms are always messy with their toys all over the floor. This looks unsightly and can be a safety concern too. There is ample room within the bench storage compartment to store all these items safely. They are all also very accessible with easy access to the toys so it won't be difficult to get the toys in or out of the bench. With a little bit of paint, you can also decorate the bench in fun colors too. An easy way to create a fun and colorful looking bench is to use fun child paints where they dip their hand into the paint and create hand prints all around the bench.
