Fresh Ideas for Your Home
Built-in seating provides storage and display space.
And, yes, this beautiful design element also offers a place to perch.
Built-in seating feels cozy and inviting – and it’s so versatile, providing not just an additional place to sit, but also display space and even storage underneath. It can maximize space in a tight area or add a new casual place to read, have a meal, chat or just look out the window.
Built-in seating can be manufactured to complement almost any building style. It can be upholstered or not; it can have simple and straight lines or lots of detail; it can have seat backs or not; it can have closed shelving inside, open shelving or no storage at all.
Best of all, built-in seating can go almost anywhere in your home:
-
Most popular, in a breakfast room or kitchen, for added places at the casual family dining table
-
In the window of a bedroom or living room, to create a lovely place to daydream and view the outdoors
-
In the den or home office, for a quiet space to talk on the phone, answer emails or respond to texts
-
In the foyer, to put on shoes and socks, and drop off your stuff when you come in the door, but do watch for clutter!
Built-in seating can also be a creative way to finish a room that looks a bit incomplete. It beautifully fills up an awkward space in a corner or completes a room plan near a window.
Built-in seating is a clever choice that adds beauty and function and can help organize your home.
