9 Recommended Entryway Bench Ideas

An entryway bench is one of the necessary furniture in every house. They are not just giving aesthetic value when your friends are visiting your home. Entryway bench also helping us when we put on our shoes and tie them. In this article, we will give you some recommendations for entryway bench ideas.

Entryway Bench with Storage

A good Entryway bench must be multifunctional. If you don’t have a garage, then this is an alternative way to put out your stuff like tools for other necessary purposes. Which makes them be the fastest access to keep your stuff.

Not just tools, but you can also put some water bottles there if you are doing some exercises outside your house. So you won’t be bothered to going to the kitchen only to take a kitchen if you have some water closer than in the kitchen.

Recommended design of the entryway bench with storage is rectangular. So you can easily arrange your stuff there. Not just that, but putting shoes also work. It’s suggested to pick entryway bench that made of durable woods that resist termites and molds.

Entryway Bench with Shoe Storage

Unlike the one above, this entryway bench with storage is specifically only for shoes. It’s made us feel effortless when we want to go outside because we only have to pick them and tied them up. After that, we leave.

For the suggested shape design of these entryway bench ideas, it should be rectangular too. But divided by cube-sized limiter for each pair of shoes. Or you can also go all rectangular without limiter as well.

For aesthetic look, the door cover should be made of glass. But woods still work too. Overall material should also be durable woods that can withstand our weight, resisting molds and termites.

Entryway Bench with Coat Rack

In rain seasons, coat rack is necessary. Coat rack prevents people from entering your house if they’re wet because of rain. You don’t want to get tired because of cleaning all of the water in the entire of your rooms, am I right?

It is recommended to use stainless and anti-rust steel or plastic rack. Because wet woods are the best place for molds to live. Termites are also the problem if we are talking about wet lumbers.

Entryway Bench with White Color

Unlike the three above, a white-colored entryway bench is more into aesthetic function and value than multi-function purposes. White color is very suitable if the color is matching with the color of the wallpaper. You can also look for a white-colored multifunctional entryway bench to make your entryway look better.

The most suitable wallpaper to match with white-colored entryway bench is the black color. Black & White combination is the most classic aesthetic aspect in the interior beauty.

Entryway Bench with Black Color

This is the reversed version of the above. In short, your wallpaper must be white while your entryway bench is black to fulfill the Black & White combination.

However, the Black & White combination has a disadvantage itself. The black color is much attractive for mosquitoes. I’m sure you don’t want to get bitten while you are tying your shoes. Termites also love dark colors to make their nest there.

Entryway Bench and Shelf

When the “shelf” word appears in my mind, books will follow it. Entryway bench with a bookshelf beside it gives both aesthetic and functional aspects. But you can also try to put other kinds of shelves to decorate your decorations to make your entryway beautiful.

It is recommended to use wood shelves because they give their own aesthetic beauty. But you have to make sure that the shelves are durable and always expose them to the sunlight to prevent molds and termites from living.

Entryway bench with bookshelf on it probably more suitable for a waiting room. Lets just say, like in a dentist’s workplace. You have to wait for other patients done with their business. While you’re waiting, you can grab a magazine from the bookshelf and read them while you’re waiting for your turn.

With Hall Tree

Do you know what I think about an entryway bench with a hall tree on it? Ultimate combination. So many functions on it. This is probably the best kind of entryway bench I ever know.

There are two multi-functions in the entryway bench with a hall tree. To sit while you are tying your shoes, to put your stuff and shoes (basically, they have storages), and a coat rack to hang your wet coats and jackets. It will be no more regret if you buy this kind of entryway bench.

With Drawers

Same as the entryway bench with storage and shoe storage. Drawers’ function is like that, but how to open them is different. They have their own unique sounds when you pull it.

If you buy the entryway bench with big drawers, you can put any kind of your stuff there. But if you buy the smaller ones, you probably can only store your shoes. Still, this is the fastest storage access to reach when you’re doing an outdoor activity right outside your house.

With Mirror

This is the last kind of entryway bench I recommended. Mirror itself give an aesthetic value of reflection. The mirror can also reflect sunlight in any direction. It is suggested to place any furniture that made of woods to the light reflection way to prevent molds and termites from growing.

The mirror can also serve as a fast access function furniture. As an example, let’s just say that you are about to leave your house to attend an event. Instead of back to your bedroom, you can check on your face or use makeup in the entryway.

As a conclusion, it is suggested to use both aesthetic and multi-function aspects for your entryway bench ideas. It will make your entryway looks more beautiful than ever. Also maintenance them every week to avoid termites and molds, if your furniture is made of woods.
