Bench: a variety of models and forms

The entrance hall is the first thing that guests see when they enter the apartment, so in order to convey the character of the house and its comfort, you can place a stool in this room.

The stool looks like a small bench upholstered in soft fabric. She is beautiful and comfortable. If this seat does not have a back, the stool may resemble an ottoman, and if present, a miniature sofa. Of course, with the back this thing is more convenient, but at the same time it gives some cumbersomeness, which does not always fit into the interior.

In addition, the length of this furniture can also be different, because there are both single and multi-seat banquettes. Its size is determined by the place where it is planned to place this piece of interior. To make it look organic, you need a serious approach to the placement of furniture. The frame for such interior items, as a rule, is made of plywood or wood.

Banquettes, resembling upholstered stools, are most often placed in a hallway or corridor for convenience, as everyone here removes outerwear, changes shoes and adjusts to the homely atmosphere.

This furniture immediately shows the guests in what style the apartment itself is made. On the stools, you can sit down, which will give greater comfort for pereobuvaniya. There are such varieties of this furniture, under which something can be folded into it - the same slippers or other important household items, for example, products for the care of footwear.

In addition, a small sofa can be part of the living room. If they are present in the interior, the compositional solution often becomes better and more comfortable. In combination with different pieces of furniture, the stools give them a certain zest and originality. Banquette can be a favorite place for a pet. In general, it is both aesthetically pleasing and practical.

Another useful assignment may be the location of the stools of a musical instrument, such as a piano, piano, or even harp. She can emphasize interior design, will be convenient for the musician. However, here the choice of sitting must be approached more responsibly, because everything is important for the musician, even to the extent that the upholstery should be on the seat or not, how high it should be.

Best of all, of course, choose a bench with height adjustment. An interesting solution could also be a piano seat with a footrest, because sometimes in the music business for high-quality performance of the piece and a comfortable position, one simply cannot do without it.

It is worth noting and stools for the legs. Scientists have shown that the human body feels more comfortable when sitting on its legs while sitting. That is how they do not go numb. Therefore, small ottomans, which are specifically used as a stand, will be a good solution for this. Here the choice is also diverse: from simple wooden boxes to upholstered in baroque style fabric. Despite the fact that these coasters are almost at the floor level, they will also look beautiful and it will be pleasant to the eye to look at them.

Today there is a wide variety of stools.

Firstly, there are those who have no back.They are convenient because they take up little space and are very neat. Of course, it’s not very comfortable to sit in such a place for a long time, but, on the other hand, the stool is not a sofa to spend a good rest on it. Backless stools are convenient for musicians, who, as a rule, should not stand with their backs on anything while playing instruments, as this may interfere with the quality of performance.

Secondly, banquettes with backs are common. As already indicated above, such models are much more convenient for a person’s posture, as you can easily lean back and forget about worries, take a break from the road or drink a cup of coffee, tea or cocoa. However, they occupy more space in the apartment than their counterparts who look like an ottoman. Despite this, many still prefer these types of furniture due to the higher level of comfort.

Separately, it should be noted the stools with built-in drawers or shelves. They can hide the doors or not, it all depends on the wishes of the owner.An interesting option would be such a model, when boxes and shelves are placed inside the stools. In this case, there are placed items that are often used in everyday life: household chemicals, footwear care products or the shoes themselves, which is very convenient.

It is impossible not to note the model, which is a mix of all of the above. This bench looks very original. At one end she can have a back, smoothly flowing in her absence from the other. In addition, such a seat can have drawers and cabinets on one side only or even at the level of a person, which can be used as a small table. This is, of course, a very convenient option.

This piece of furniture can be of different sizes. A multi-purpose stool is beautiful in that several people can fit in it or one will have a lot of comfortable space. This is convenient for large companies or in cases where the person for whom it is intended is rather large. Also in such furniture you can store more items.But, alas, this option is the most voluminous, which is not always suitable if there is not so much space in the apartment.

Single banquettes fit perfectly into a room of almost any size. In addition, they can also be of different colors or design, however, like any other. But in this case fewer things fit inside, so the practical significance of such furniture is somewhat reduced. Although this view is still loved by users.

The forms of the stools are also different, but, basically, there are two: rectangular and round. The rectangular shape of the edge can be streamlined or sharp, the seat itself is slightly higher or lower, but in any case, it will be a neat parallelepiped in shape. This form is convenient to sit on the bench a few people.

The square shape is interesting in that it will fit into a space that has clearly blackened corners. It takes up less space than a rectangular stool. Sitting on such a pouf is also convenient, but, of course, only one person.

The round shape of the stool can also be interesting, as it takes up even less space and is suitable for a small room. In addition, this type of seat will fit perfectly into the interior, where there are a lot of objects of a streamlined shape, as well as smoothed corners.

• Tissue. Of course, such banquettes will not fit into the postmodernist style or high-tech, but they will be conveniently located in a house decorated in baroque, ampire, modern or even art deco. The banquette is covered with soft and beautiful fabric, and together with the same soft cushions gives the interior a special gloss. It is possible to place shoes under the stool by selecting a seat with a shelf-grid between its legs below.
• Forged. An important advantage of such furniture is its strength.This is especially important in a large house where many people live or where many guests come. In this case, you can not worry about the frame quality made forged benches.
• Leather Also well chosen can be considered a stool, upholstered in leather or leatherette. This material will suit fans of the Chesterfield style, as the leather upholstery emphasizes high status or sophisticated taste. Although if it will be bright defiant colors, such as pink, yellow or any acidic, then, of course, the place of such furniture will be in a completely different style.

• Wood gives space a homely atmosphere. Such banquettes can be decorated with skillful carving. In addition, wooden stools are cheaper than products made of genuine leather or wrought iron, but not inferior to them in aesthetics. Of course, sitting on such furniture is not as comfortable as on soft, but it is not always necessary. Such a banquette can be put in the hallway or on the balcony or loggia. For those whose budget is minimal, furniture from chipboard will be a good choice. Chipboards with special facing film can also look very elegant when properly fed.
• Another material for the manufacture of banquettes is rattan - a plant from the tropics. Furniture made of it is used throughout the world and fits into the space in almost any style. Another important point - the life of the material, which is up to 30 years. Wicker rattan bench is durable, lightweight, it is not at all difficult to care for. It will harmoniously look next to a glass table or wooden furniture.

The basis of the banquettes can have many options. For example, it can be a metal frame. This is a fairly common type of furniture, because it has a high degree of reliability and low cost. So that the bench does not leave scratches on the floor, plastic plastic plugs are put on the metal legs. The frame itself is usually painted with durable polymer powder paint in gray or black. Furniture on this basis can be found in completely different places, starting with an ascetic house and ending with hospitals and other public institutions.

For the upholstery of such furniture are used, as a rule, foam rubber and leather substitute. For greater convenience, some benches on the metal frame are equipped with armrests.

There are interesting options for the stove with a lifting mechanism. That is what the musicians use, because with this furniture you can adjust the height and adjust it for yourself. The height level can vary up to fifteen centimeters, which means three to five levels to which the structure can be raised. The more useful fixers for such stools, so they are, accordingly, more expensive.

There are also wooden models with a lifting mechanism, but, oddly enough, they are heavier than metal ones, as they weigh 7-9 kg, which, of course, is not very convenient when moving this furniture. As a rule, such banquettes are made of durable wood. The seat is upholstered with velor or leatherette. Such a pouf can rise to a height of 9-12 cm.

Frameless banquettes, which are a bag filled with many small balls of polystyrene, are popular all over the world. Such a place to sit is very comfortable, especially children love them.Such options in our time can be seen not only at home, but also, for example, in a cafe.

It is necessary to approach the choice of banquettes very carefully, as they should emphasize the features of the interior, and not spoil it. So, if you need to purchase a model for a child's room, then you need to pay attention primarily to safety. For kids, the most convenient is the frameless version, and for those who are older, you can safely choose the standard models. A good choice would be a banquette chest of solid wood, where you can put various toys. Since children love bright colors, the colors of furniture should be chosen in this color range.

It is worth noting that the banquet-chest is suitable not only for a child’s room, but also for many other rooms, be it a kitchen, bedroom or living room. This is a multifunctional option, because they can store a large number of items. On the balcony or loggia, the options of both wood and laminated chipboard or rattan will be an excellent option. Of course, we should not forget about the style in which this room is made.

If it is necessary to place a banquette in the office, then the best option for this is the option on a metal frame. The seat can be made of wood or upholstered in leather depending on the status and budget of the company. Here, rigor, conciseness and practicality will be important indicators when choosing.

Usually the advantage when buying is given all the same metal and classic wooden stools. They are more wear-resistant and fit into almost any design of office space, therefore, they are universal. This is exactly what is needed for convenience in work and not distracting from it.

Important is also the choice between soft and hard seat. A soft surface is more comfortable for a person than a simple wooden bench. However, this too can be a good time.

When choosing the design of the legs, it is important to proceed from the general concept of the interior. If the style is reminiscent of baroque or modern, then the legs should be curved. If the village - the main thing that they were carved or rattan.

Above some models, you can install shelves, and put pillows on the benches themselves. So you can achieve an atmosphere of comfort and create a place where you can safely read a book, covered with a warm blanket. The color of the furniture in this case can also be very different, it all depends on the space in which it is located.
