Storage benches

Benefits of benches with storage

A regular bench is useful. But a storage bench gives you a place to sit and a space to store household essentials.

Because they combine seating and storage in one, storage benches make better use of the space you already have without buying extra storage furniture. Here are the benefits of benches for storage:

• Hidden storage: Keep shoes, blankets, books, toys and other household essentials neatly out of sight.
• Space-saving design: Get the best of both worlds with storage and seating in one piece of furniture.
• Flexible functionality: Move storage benches between rooms as your home and routines change.
• Everyday convenience: Keep frequently used items nearby without leaving them on display.

The best benches for storage don’t just hold your belongings. They create a home for all the items you don’t want on display. And now you have a place to store them away.

Where to place a storage bench?

One of the biggest advantages of benches with storage is how easily they fit into almost any room.

The most common places include:

• Kitchen: Store cookbooks, reusable bags, extra dish towels and small kitchen appliances.
• Dining room: Add extra seating around the dining table and a place to store table linens, placemats and more.
• Entryway: Keep shoes, scarves and seasonal accessories where they're needed most.
• Bathroom: Create a spot for towels, toiletries and cleaning supplies when your linen closet is filled to the brim.
• Bedroom: Use an end of bed bench for bedding, pillows and clothing.
• Living room: Store blankets, games, remotes and books to keep TV room essentials within reach.

The best location for storage benches often depends on what you're trying to organize.
