Built-in of the Week ::

Light and Airy Entry Bench

I am a HUGE huge huge fan of Built-ins. Hence the newest series here at FHD: The Built-In of the Week.

For more on why I think built-ins are one of the most brilliant home solutions, whether your home is small or large, check out this list. And without further ado, this week’s Built-in:

Light and Airy Entry Bench:

{via Inspiration Built-ins}

This Built-in is fabulous because:

It adds architectural interest in a useful way
It is not bulky.
Although it does not have storage beneath, it offers storage options: you could simply place shoes beneath the airy bench, or you could use roll out drawers like these to store items.
It gives you the opportunity to add fabric and pillows to your space. Go with outdoor fabrics for a mudroom, and you will never have to fret.
There will always be a place to sit when you come in the door!

Can you dream up a space in your current or future home where this built-in would be beautiful and practical?

Where would you put this built-in? Would it work in your home? Do tell!!

PS: So thrilled with all of your comments on Your Style Notebook. So glad you are joining in!

So pretty. Love all the architectural details in the bench and of course the fabric 😉

Would LOVE to do this seat in my house! Is there a way to buy the plans? Or have someone build it for me?

I TOO WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS A WAY TO ORDER THESE PLANS? I love the clean lines and the architectural details and the opportunity to use your own fabric ideas. thank you, jacquie
