Using Storage Benches

How many times have you walked into your kids' rooms and cringed at all the things that are thrown around everywhere, making it hard to even walk from one end to another? A storage bench is the best way to add some extra space to your home without cluttering it.

Where can you place a storage bench?

• Children's Room

Your child's room probably has the most variety and number of objects compared to any other room in the house. This is because, while growing up we need many things together. Books and stationeries are a requirement while we are in school. Of course there is the desktop that takes up a lot of the desk space. Added to this is the bunch of CDs, electronic gadgets, sports equipment and the usual smelly socks and unwashed shoes! Unless there is space to stash away some of the rubbish it is impossible to step into their rooms without the danger of serious injury to yourself.

A storage bench is the perfect way to stuff away the tennis rackets, dirty laundry, old science projects and other such items that are not used on a regular basis or take up unnecessary moving space in the room. Of course a storage bench can also be used as a seating surface for your child's friends as well. It can also act as a temporary bed for those frequent sleepovers.

• Bedroom

The bedroom should be a place where you can come back after a long day and rewind without worrying about cleaning it up. Therefore, a storage bench can take care of this problem for you where you can stash your worn clothes for the day before sending it for laundry.

A storage bench in the bedroom can also act as a seating space in front of the mirror to allow you to sit on it while you dress up. Keeping it by the window is also a great idea when you want to enjoy the first snow of winter or watch the sun rise with your partner.

• Entrance Hall

Sometimes we don't have the luxury of having a separate shoe closet in the house. Therefore, our shoes find their way into the house and dirty up the living space. A storage bench is the perfect place to store your shoes before entering the house. You can place it at the entrance and allow guests to leave their shoes there as well.


• Living Room

A storage bench in the living room may not be the first thing that comes to your head while decorating the house. But when space is a luxury you have to make the most of it. a storage bench can be used to stack up the magazines, books and newspapers in the living room neatly.

• Laundry Room

Washed and dried clothes don't always find their way into our closet immediately. Therefore, instead of letting them lying outside and gather dirt all over again, you can use a storage bench in the laundry room to stash them inside till you find time to iron and store them away where they belong.

Different makes of storage benches

If you like wooden furniture in your home you can go for storage benches made form oak wood, cherry, mahogany and even pinewood. There are options for installing pads and cushions for back and bottom rest as well. Sizes vary depending upon the requirement. Other than having sizes customized to your needs you can go for the standard ones as well such as 50" w x 24 ½" d x 21" and h 32"w x 15 ½"d x 28 ½" h.
