A popular way to transform a dining room into a relaxed, shared space, the dining bench is used in place of chairs along one side of your table. Remove the restrictions and formalities chairs can create - there’s always room to shuffle up for one more. Although they’re on-trend at the moment, you needn’t think that dining benches only belong in modern homes. We’ve selected some options that demonstrate their suitability for any style of dining room, from traditional to urban.

Rustic Charm

The warm colours of the  Colorado Cross Leg Bench in rich mango wood contribute to a cosy dining room atmosphere. Its cross leg style with a central beam evokes exposed farmhouse ceilings and adds to its homely charm. The comfort and character it provides sit just as well in a cottage as in a contemporary home.

 

Country Classic

Vintage Classic Dining Bench

Create a relaxed country house vibe with the traditional design and delicately distressed finish of the Burgundy Classic Dining Bench. You can easily match this bench with other pieces from the Burgundy Classic Dining Range, or let it make itself at home alongside your family dining table.

 

Industrial Inspired Dining

If you’re more inspired by solid builds and bold shapes, another on-trend option is the industrial look. This popular style works for everything from statement pieces to subtle accessories. Perfectly positioned between both categories, the Little Tree Furniture Hyatt Dining Bench won’t dominate the room - but certainly won’t go unnoticed. The mix-and-match nature of the industrial trend is typified by the Hyatt Dining Bench. This versatile piece works well as a standalone or alongside other Little Tree Furniture Hyatt items.

 

Why we love a dining bench

Because a dining bench is an affordable and instant way to transform the look and feel of your dining room. It can give a room a stylish update as well as provide some extra seating for any unexpected guests. And even if you don’t see a bench replacing your dining chairs, a hallway or entrance area can benefit from the versatility of extra seating that one can provide.
