8. Built In Seating with Storage
A built in bench or seating nook along an entryway wall serves both aesthetic and functional purposes. These features often include cubbies or drawers beneath the seating for shoes and baskets. Adding cushions or throw pillows softens the look and creates a cozy spot for putting on shoes.
Above the bench, you can add hooks, shelves, or a row of cabinets to complete the design. Built in seating works particularly well in mudrooms or larger entryways, but even small spaces can benefit from a narrow bench with storage.
