Guest Picks: Entryway Benches for Every Budget
For taking off winter boots or sliding into slippers, a bench in the entry is a seat worth grabbing
An easy way to add comfort and functionality to even the coldest entryway is with a bench. Benches come in every style, color and material you can dream up. They can be upholstered, have storage and help introduce guests to your home's design right when they step in the front door. Here are a few of my favorites, with something for every budget. — Danyelle from Dandee Designs
Olivia Bench, Weathered Blue Finish

Essex Printed Bench, Kenmare Iron
It's easy to add pattern to your entryway with this printed bench. Wouldn't it be nice to have a soft seat to use while pulling off those boots after a long day?

Lowe Smoke Leather Bench

3-cube Bench, White
This is the kind of bench you can style to fit into almost any decor. Add baskets to store mittens and gloves, a cushion in the color of your choice to soften it up and perhaps even a few birch logs in one of the cubbies to warm it all up. I love the versatility.

For some reason, the second I spotted this bench I started imagining it placed over an ikat rug with a stack of great designer books placed on one end. Do you see it too?
Montego Bench, Stainless Steel
Originally intended as an outdoor bench, this little number has a sleek stainless steel frame that makes it durable and eye-catching.
Auguste Salon Bench
Have you ever seen a bench so stately? Designed in Louis XV style, this sofa-like bench is the kind of luxury dreams are made of.
Simone Bench
The great thing about this upholstered bench is the endless number of fabrics you can choose from for its cushion. If you have a color scheme, you're bound to find a fabric that works.
Windham Settee Bench
This solidly built and simple settee is not just a pretty face, although I can definitely appreciate the pretty curved apron detail and the carvings.

Who doesn't love a classic stripe? I would have a hard time passing this little lady up.
