Living Room Storage Bench

About Living Room Storage Bench Android App

When looking for extra storage in the home, most people tend to buy unsightly storage boxes or storage cartons. Others perhaps buy cupboards that tend to take up valuable room within the home. There is a better option, and that is to purchase a piece of furniture that is functional in that it can be used as a seat and also provides the storage you require.

A storage bench can be bought in wood and comes in many colors to match your room's decor. Not only are they comfortable to sit on, but you also have the storage compartment underneath the seat to store items. The bench can be bought in a solid color such as white, or if you prefer, you can buy them in stained wood colors. For the seating, you also have the option of buying benches with cushions or without the cushions. It is recommended that you buy them with cushions or to at least buy your own cushions to place on the bench. Not only will this help match the bench to existing colors and fabrics within the room, but it will also making sitting on the bench much more comfortable.

Storage benches can be placed into any room in the home, from the dining room to the bathroom. Some homes are built quite small and it can be difficult to add additional furniture as they are very cumbersome and take up too much space. With a bench, they can be placed in any spare space you may have. For instance, you can place the bench at the end of the bed in a bedroom. For the living room, the bench can be placed in a spare corner.

Many people tend to buy storage benches for their child's room as the bench can be used when putting on or off shoes, as well as using the storage compartment to store their toys. This allows the child's room to stay tidy.

Shoes. Who doesn't love them? Even though we have only two feet and can only wear one pair of shoes at a time, we have an endless number of different occasions that require different shoes, from running shoes and golf shoes to sandals for the beach, boots for winter and heels in every color and height imaginable - just because.

But where do you store all these shoes? As you know, shoes don't like to be stored next to each other, as the various design details on a fairly inexpensive shoe can end up destroying a brand new pair of Italian leather pumps you just picked up at Zappos.

Thankfully, manufacturers have created innovative design solutions for you in the form of the shoe storage bench. These little beauties solve almost all your shoe storage problems, letting each pair of shoes have its own space.

Best of all, a shoe storage bench can fit in just about every unused and underutilized corner in your home, from the foot of your bed in the master to the entryway. Every shoe in its place and a place for every shoe.

So, what do you look for in a shoe storage bench? Well, the first thing is the number of cubbies the bench has. You want to purchase benches with as many cubbies as will fit in the space you have in mind, knowing that shoes have a way of multiplying over time.

There are two basic types of benches. First, there are those that have cubbies. Think of them as walled off storage lockers laid out in a grid. The second is a bench where the front opens out, revealing either cubbies or wire loops that slip right into the shoe, letting them hang free.

Neither version is preferable over the other. It really depends on your personal preferences and the amount of space you have available.

Space. That's always a problem in homes. Fortunately, many of the shoe storage bench models out there can fit in nearly every room and even in hallways. They will look right at home in a large walk in closet, in a guest room by the window, in an entryway or wet room, even the living room.

If you go with a shoe storage bench in the living room, you probably want to get a model that has a door that opens outward.
