From providing a place to sit while you take off your shoes to opening up seating options when you’ve got a full house, benches are always a stylish selection in your home.

Take this one for example: crafted from pinewood, this piece features a clean-lined construction that works well in any contemporary setting, while a neutral hue allows it to blend with your color scheme.

A flip-top design provides a place to tuck away loose odds and ends, while a lower shelf offers even more storage space.
