When it comes to spending time with the family or entertaining guests, one of the most important aspects is the dining experience. While an extravagant dining room can be nice, most can agree that having more people at the table is always welcome. This is why a dining bench can be a stylish addition to your dining room, perfect for seating extra guests and letting the good times roll. Not only are they a functional and space-saving solution, but they are also offered in a variety of designs and finishes complementing any dining table and interior style.

Why Buy A Dining Bench?

Although dining chairs are the standard option when it comes to dining room seating, dining benches are a great alternative for those looking to seat a couple extra people.

Firstly, dining benches are great for families or those with children as they allow kids and adults to share the same seating area without much compromise. And because they are able to seat more people for their size, they can be an effective way to seat more loved ones while taking up less space than traditional dining chairs. Not just that but they are also ideal for compact dining areas.

Despite their name, these benches are also quite versatile as they are mobile and easy to place elsewhere. If you require more seating elsewhere you can move it to a bedroom, under a window, and even bring it outside. Something like an outdoor dining bench can be a good choice for those who like to have outside dinners or picnics with family and friends.

Aside from their functionality, they are also available in various styles and materials that can enhance your room's aesthetic for a lower price. With options ranging from rustic wooden benches to a more modern black dining bench, Casagear’s selection has something for your home.

Choose Your Style

Just like traditional dining chairs, you’ll want to complement your dining table with a nice bench that’s aesthetically pleasing and durable. With that in mind, you’ll want to pick out a bench that suits your style and keeps your guests comfortable. Also, if you have children or like to keep things neat, it’s a good idea to choose a finish that is easy to clean and maintain. Below are some of the styles that are trending and popular amongst our customers.

Wood Benches

With neutral tones and a rich texture, a wood dining bench is a classic choice for those looking for a versatile bench for their dining room. Whether you’re furnishing a farmhouse-style dining room or just want to add a rustic touch, this bench offers plentiful seating that never goes out of style. You can pick between many types of wood such as oak, walnut, or pine if you want a specific finish and maintenance is a breeze only requiring a rag and a bit of water.

Upholstered Benches

If you want a step up from a traditional wooden bench you can opt for an upholstered dining bench. They feature cushioned seats upholstered in various types of fabrics such as polyester, leather, or nylon for added comfort. While you can choose to go with bold styling, more subtle designs are great for formal or modern dining areas that need a touch of elegance.

High-Back Benches

If you are looking for a bench that is bold and really stands out in the dining room, a high-back bench may be just what you need. These benches have supportive backrests that come up high which enhances comfort and style. They are just as functional as other benches but are catered more for those who require back support and exceptional seating. They are ideal for large dining areas and can make for a bold statement piece.

Storage Benches

The kitchen and dining room can sometimes be a hectic place, especially for bigger families, and what is better than having a bit of storage at your side. A dining bench with storage is a great option for those who seek a bit more functionality out of their dining bench. They have built-in storage compartments which can add more versatility to your dining space. Whether you need to store some blankets for the winter or just store away some barbecue essentials, a storage bench is a no-brainer.

How Do I Match My Bench With My Table?

Ideally, when buying a bench for your table you want to have to match or at least complement it. So when it comes down to it, similar materials, finishes, and upholstery are crucial to getting a cohesive look. For those who need an entire dining room upgrade or don’t want to hassle with matching, a dining table set with a bench is an easy choice. They are guaranteed to fit in your dining area and still provide a cohesive look.

How Do I Fit a Bench In a Smaller Dining Room?

If you happen to live in an apartment or condo with a smaller dining space it is still possible to furnish it with a dining bench from Casagear. In smaller spaces, we recommend pairing a bench with a circular or oval dining table along with some traditional chairs. If your dining room happens to be more toward a corner, a corner dining bench is a great way to save space while still seating more people. They can act as a booth while not requiring as much space as it would take to scoot around multiple chairs toward a wall.
