Benches
Soft seats, hidden storage.
Upholstered benches in cream chenille and channel-stitched velvet, including ottoman storage benches in cream, grey and black for the end of the bed or a hallway.
A bench is one of the most useful pieces you can add to a bedroom or hallway. It gives you somewhere to sit while you get ready, a place to rest a throw or a bag, and in most of this collection, a generous amount of hidden storage. Each design is upholstered in soft, neutral fabric for a calm, finished look.
Our ottoman storage benches lead the range. The Leo has a velvet top with a modern channel design and a lift and hold lid over a spacious storage trunk, and it comes in cream, grey or black velvet. The Mika is a cream velvet storage bench with evenly spaced vertical stitching across the top, drawn closer together in the centre for a subtle focal point. Both measure 130cm long, a natural fit at the end of a king size or double bed, and both are ideal for spare bedding, pillows or seasonal items.
The Daria takes a different approach. This cream chenille bench comes with two matching nesting stools that slide beneath it when not in use, so you have extra seats for a dressing room, living area or entryway without taking up more floor space. Pair a bench with storage beds from our beds collection for a coordinated bedroom.
A guide to our benches
Storage bench or seating bench?
If you are short on space, an ottoman storage bench works twice as hard. The Leo and Mika lift open to reveal a full-length trunk, keeping duvets, cushions and blankets out of sight while giving you a padded seat on top. If you need flexible seating more than storage, the Daria is the better choice. Its two nesting stools can be pulled out for guests or used as small footstools, then tucked away under the bench for a neat, minimal look.
Sizing a bench for the end of the bed
As a guide, an end of bed bench sits most comfortably when it is a little narrower than the bed frame, leaving a small gap on each side. The Leo and Mika are 130cm long, 46cm deep and 44cm high, a comfortable proportion for a double or king size bed. The Daria is 104cm wide and 42cm deep, which suits a smaller bedroom, a hallway or a dressing area. Leave enough room to walk around the bench and, for storage designs, to lift the lid fully.
