Bench/settee needed for sitting area!

9 years ago

The main living area of our home is basically one open room (with the kitchen slightly separated). There is space for both a dining area and a kitchen table but we don't need both so the dining area we have used an additional sitting area on the side of our living room. I originally had a pair of chairs here in front of the window (blue stripe chairs shown in living room photo) but after moving them into the living room last Christmas to place our tree in front of this window, I liked how they looked and want to keep them in the living room permanently. So now I am again on the search for somewhere to sit in this nook. I don't really want two pairs of chairs.. so instead I am looking for a small loveseat/bench/settee (whatever you choose to call it) to go here.


The room is very neutral with lots of natural materials (wood/stone and obviously birds ha!) and the couch is an off white chenille. The blue in the chairs is the only real accent color and the chest next to where this bench will go has blue in the distressing so I want to use shades of blue in accenting this piece also. I am leaning toward a wood or metal bench with a back and arms and adding a seat cushion and accent pillows. I am having a hard time finding exactly what would fit with the space so I would greatly appreciate any leads or any suggestions of a better direction to go!


Photos below to help.. this nook is directly inside the front doors and the last view of the living room is what you see when sitting in the nook area. The ottoman and other furniture will be staying as is.. ignore the dog beds :) You can see the wall next to the door provides a bit of a recess for where this piece will go and the depth is 30" so it looks best to have a shallow piece. The window is around 60" wide so a piece around 70"
