Entryway Benches FAQ

Entryway benches provide an efficient way to keep your foyer organized and inviting. Available in a range of styles including wood and upholstered designs, many benches offer built-in storage for shoes, bags, or seasonal accessories. A thoughtfully selected entryway bench enhances both the function and appearance of your home's entrance. This Ashley FAQ covers key considerations such as bench materials, storage options, space-saving features, and tips to help you choose the right entryway bench for your needs.

What are the different types of entryway benches?

Choosing the right entryway bench makes it easier to keep your foyer organized and welcoming. Understanding the main types helps you quickly find one that fits your needs, from shoe storage to extra seating.

Shoe storage benches

Shoe storage entryway benches are built to keep footwear tidy and out of the walkway. Open cubby styles have compartments for easy access, great for families. Cabinet-style benches use doors or drawers to hide shoes and keep the area looking neat. Tilt-out benches use compartments that open outward, saving space and working well in small entryways.

Lift-top storage benches

Lift-top benches have a seat that opens to a deep storage compartment. Use these to store items like off-season clothing or blankets. The enclosed design hides clutter and maintains a tidy appearance near your front door.

Solid wood and open-base benches

If seating is your priority, open-base benches offer a simple and airy look, often made of solid wood. These suit Mid-Century modern or Japandi styles and help small spaces feel larger. The open space underneath can hold a basket if you want added storage later.

Upholstered benches

Upholstered entryway benches have padded seats in fabric, leather, or faux leather for comfort when putting on shoes. Choose a fully upholstered style for softness, or a wood frame with a cushion for versatility. Select a durable, easy-to-clean fabric for high-traffic areas.

Ashley offers a carefully curated selection of entryway benches, making it easy to find both style and function for your space. Explore our options to discover the ideal bench to suit your home's needs.

How to choose the right entryway bench?

Selecting a front door bench means considering size, function, and durability. Your entryway sets the tone for your home and handles daily use. Here's how to find the right bench.

  • Measure wall space and entryway width before buying.
  • Standard bench height: 18–20"; depth: 14–18".
  • Ensure at least 36" walkway clearance in front.
  • Leave side space to prevent crowding.
  • Choose benches with storage options if organization matters.
  • Pick durable materials like oak or maple for longevity.
  • For upholstered benches, select easy-clean performance fabrics.
  • Use open, slim benches for small spaces to maximize floor area.
  • Consider cushioned benches or built-in designs to match your decor.
  • Opt for finishes and fabrics that are simple to maintain.

How to style an entryway bench?

Once your bench is set up, style it to feel welcoming and intentional. Decorating an entryway bench should balance looks and function.

Add comfortable textiles

Add one or two pillows to soften the bench, choosing colors or textures that contrast with the bench. For example, pair a light throw pillows with a dark bench. Drape a soft throw over one side for color and comfort. Leave part of the seat open for practical use.

Utilize baskets for hidden storage

Use baskets under benches with open bases for extra storage. Woven or wire baskets hold small items like umbrellas, hats, or gloves, and keep the area tidy. Select storage baskets that fit neatly and don't block foot traffic.

Decorate the surrounding space

Enhance the wall above the bench. Install coat hooks for jackets and bags or hang a large mirror to reflect light and open up the space. You can also use framed art or a floating shelf for small decor or family photos.

What accessories go well with entryway benches?

Beyond pillows and baskets, a few key accessories can complete your entryway and visually connect it to nearby rooms:

Area rugs and runners: Place a durable, easy-to-clean rug or runner under or in front of the bench to define the area and help keep floors clean.

Practical trays and catch-alls: Use a small decorative tray on the bench for essentials like keys and sunglasses, making them easy to grab.

Lighting and greenery: Add a wall sconce or floor lamp for better lighting and place a plant nearby for a welcoming touch.
