A bench fits in any room, but can fulfill different functions. A hall bench with both seat cushion and shelf fulfills two functions in one. You can easily sit down and put on your shoes, or use it as a unloading area for bags and keys. In a narrow hall, a hall bench with storage can make it easier to stow away shoes, a basket of hats and gloves or the training bag. When the lid is closed, it functions just like a regular bench seat. A bench with storage will also be a stylish design detail in a larger bathroom. Store extra towels in it and feel free to place a green plant on the lid. A large bench with an upholstered cushion is comfortable to use in everyday life. If placed in the kitchen, it can replace several chairs, while by the window it becomes a cozy corner for reflection. A bench can also be used for other things than sitting on. It can be used as a low table, relief surface or shelf. If it is a bench with storage, however, you should not place anything you use often in the bench if you have things standing on the lid.
