The storage bench can be placed into just about any room in the home, and they provide a great way to save on space. These benches are able to store those items that tend to be left around the room. You can easily place a bench in a bedroom, bathroom, lounge or even the kitchen.
Due to the size of the bench, they are perfect to place at the end of a bed. If you have space between the end of your bed and the wall, then the bench will fit perfectly into your bedroom. You can find these benches in many materials to match your bedroom color scheme. You could purchase two or three cushions to place on top of the bench so as to match the bench with the other fabrics within the room. There is actually quite a bit of storage room underneath the seating providing you with ample space to store items such as out of season clothing, towels and linen. This in turn, provides you with valuable space within your cupboards for items of clothing that you are currently wearing.
The same idea can be used in a kid's room where the bench is placed at the end of their bed. If there is not enough room at the end of the bed, you could place the bench against a wall, perhaps under the window. If you purchase a plain wooden bench, you can then decorate it yourself with some fun child safe paints. You can either paint the whole bench in a single color or perhaps even create hand prints around the front and sides of the bench. For a child, this provides them with the storage they need to store all their toys and books. The benches are easily accessible, so they will quickly learn to store their toys in the storage compartment, rather than leaving them around the room and on the floor area.
