Entryway Benches
The most popular piece for placing in an entryway is a bench, which is comfortable for both sitting and storage. You may take IKEA Mockelby, Skogsta, Bjursta or any other bench or even table and then just repaint, stencil it, or even upholster the bench to make it more comfortable for sitting. Use any types of paint and fabric that fit your space perfectly. You can add metallic touches only to the legs or paint the whole piece, you may change the top of the table or seat for a better one – a contrasting stained one or an upholstered one, and go for many more ideas to try.
