A bench in a bedroom is a great way to double up on both a place to sit, and a place for objects. In this Orient guest room, I used this vintage train bench to accomplish both – at the foot of the bed, it’s a place to put on shoes or hold one's bag, and is still long enough for an artfully arranged leaned piece of art and throw (hint: steal this look.)
Benches in all forms are a blend of utility and artfulness, especially ones with added carved or spindle detail. From simple to more ornamented, we hope you’re on board for these train benches, and find a special space for them to add both utility and beauty to your project.
