Features to look out for

Consider these features to select a bench that meets your needs:

• Durable fabric - Durable fabrics will stand up to wear and tear without fraying or coming apart. Amart benches use a variety of long-lasting fabrics including linen, velvet, faux fur,
• Solid frame - Whether you sit on it, rest your feet on it or hide storage in it, choose a bench with a solid frame that’s made to last. MDF, metal and wood are popular options.
• Removable lid - Either a lid that comes fully off or lifts up on hinges to give you an option to store belongings out of the way.
• Shelves - Some benches come with a bottom shelf for additional storage.
• Drawers -Other benches come with in-built drawers to give you more storage options.

Pair with the perfect lounge or accent chair

Benches look beautiful with your lounges and accent chairs, positioned next to them as extra seating or in front like an ottoman. Create a sharp contrast by putting a vibrant teal bench with a beige 2-seater sofa or choose a bench in the same colour as a recliner.

A faux fur bench adds loads of warmth and texture placed in front of a butter-soft leather armchair while outdoor benches can be used to elevate rattan furniture on the patio. Some of our benches and accent chairs come in matching prints for a complete look.

Put your feet up after a long day

Benches provide the perfect spot to put your feet up and relax. Just like an ottoman, they’re the right height for supporting your feet and legs while you recline. Read a book, watch t.v or kick back with your favourite drink - the choice is yours!

Benches adding extra seating and storage to small spaces

Cute and compact, benches do double-duty for when you need an extra seat or a storage solution that won’t take up a lot of space. Perfect for small homes, position them in a corner, at the end of the bed, next to the lounge or anywhere else you want.

Bench seats that add style and functionality to your room

Benches don’t just sit there looking pretty - they’re functional too! A bench with a removable lid gives you an extra place to keep storage while looking like another stylish piece of furniture. You can also sit on them or use them in place of an ottoman to put your feet up.

Create a unified interior by matching your benches to surrounding furniture, from coffee tables and bookcases to side tables, sideboards and bedside tables.

End-of-bed benches for a clutter-free bedroom

Fabric benches can be an elegant addition to the bedroom, positioned at the foot of the bed for a trendy look. Choose a storage bench to keep your bedroom looking tidy by hiding everything from bed linen to clothes, shoes and books inside or use it to lay new outfits for each day.

Match the colour and style to your bed frame and quilt cover for a coordinated style. We have plush velvet tufted benches in vibrant teal, linen benches with curved timber legs and luxuriously fluffy benches in white with gold legs for a touch of glam.

Tips on accessorising your bench

Benches look stylish on their own but you can add some home accessories to give them that extra wow factor. Consider draping a Perago throw with tassels over the bench or adding some cushions in plain or print for colour and texture. A bench with a hard surface can also be used to display vases, ornaments and other decorations.

What can you store in a storage bench?

Storage benches can hold anything you want. They’re the perfect size for hiding away shoes in the hallway, clothes in the bedroom, toys in the nursery or books and papers in the office. Store bed linen in them, blankets, board games, and much more.
