The Perfect Bench
Looking for a stylish and comfortable alternative to standard chairs? The bench is a wonderfully versatile and visually appealing option. Not only are they convenient and functional, benches can also serve as high-design accents for indoor and outdoor spaces.
Who says benches have to be neutral? These simple, easily portable pieces provide an easy opportunity to add a splash of surprising color to an otherwise monochromatic space. I love how this bright yellow bench contrasts with the otherwise neutral decor, and plays off the artwork displayed above it.
Benches are available in any imaginable style -- classical, contemporary, Old World, and more. Here, a lyrically styled bench nicely complements the traditional four-poster bed and furnishings. I actually enjoy the contrast in wood colors -- not everything always has to match perfectly, or even be in the same family of hues.
