Banquettes with a back in the hallway

The entrance hall is the "face" of the apartment, it is from it that guests begin to familiarize themselves with the interior of the dwelling. Renovation and the right choice of furniture will help to make this area as comfortable and stylish as possible. In the hallway, a bench with a back looks harmonious and appropriate: it is convenient to sit on it when you need to put on shoes or talk on the phone. A soft bench will make the room visually more comfortable, and a model with a box will allow you to store shoes or various things: umbrellas, shoe creams, gloves. Benches with a back in the hallway are made in different designs, and they can also differ in design.

A bench with a back is a solution that is suitable for arranging spacious corridors and small hallways. The backrest makes the furniture more comfortable to use. Depending on the models, it can be hard or soft. Furniture with filling, backrest and armrests visually resembles a mini-sofa. Manufacturers use foam rubber, polyurethane foam or other materials as a filler to make the product soft.

There are several more types of benches with backs.

• With shoe rack - one of the most popular models for decorating the hallway. Shelves are "mesh" and solid, closed and open. In the line of different manufacturers, you can find options with folding shelves or with doors installed on hinges.

• Round upholstered benches with upholstered seat. These models are sleek and compact, they are designed to accommodate 1 person. You can choose a regular static bench or a functional option - furniture with a folding top. There is a small storage under it, in which you can place shoes, out-of-season outerwear.

• Bench with drawer or cabinet. Such furniture is the most convenient to use: on the top of the curbstone you can put a phone, keys, put a vase of flowers. The drawer will become a convenient place to store shoes or household items.

Large, small, solid or colored, with streamlined lines or broken edges - manufacturers offer hundreds of models for hallways in different styles.

The dimensions of the banquets are different, the furniture can be designed to accommodate 1, 2 or 3 people. The most compact models are poufs with a back. They can be positioned in one of the corners of the hallway.

Long and narrow models are popular, their depth ranges from 25 to 35 cm. Such products are preferable for a large family, since several people can sit on them at once. Long models are ideal for long and narrow corridors. For more spacious hallways, you can choose wide models. Their depth is 40-70 cm.

Benches can also be of different heights. Models with medium sizes are popular, the height of which is 40-50 cm - this is enough to comfortably sit on the bench.

Banquettes differ in materials of manufacture, their frame is made of natural wood, metal, MDF, chipboard, and genuine leather, leatherette or textiles are used for upholstery. The durability of the furniture, its weight, and its appearance depend on the materials used. Such sofas can be light, heavy, fragile or reliable, oversized or thin and elegant.

• Wooden frames are durable, aesthetic, their only drawback is the high price, especially if the furniture is made of elite wood species.
• MDF and chipboard are used to create budget models. Such benches are inexpensive, but they are less reliable compared to wood products.
• Metal (including forged) is a good option for making durable yet elegant furniture. Metal banquets will be appropriate in any interior style, they are perfectly combined with other furniture and finishes.
• Genuine leather or leatherette upholstery looks solid. It has good durability, does not absorb moisture, and it is easy to remove any kind of dirt from it. Leather models are expensive, and if the budget is limited, you can take a closer look at eco-leather benches - they are cheaper, but the quality is worse.

In the production of banquets, cotton, velor, jacquard, flock and other textiles are used as upholstery. To increase dirt and water repellency, manufacturers impregnate the fabric with Teflon.

Less common on sale are models made of bamboo and rattan. Seats, backs and armrests are woven from them. Such products are appropriate in corridors with a rustic style, in summer cottages.

Banquets are made in different styles.

• Classic. Classic models can be rectangular, round or square. They are produced in restrained colors from expensive natural materials.

• Retro style. These models are characterized by long, curved legs and armrests. They can be decorated with elements of forging or carving, painting.

• Provence. Banquettes in this style are light, graceful and light. They are distinguished by sophistication and elegance.

Banquet sofas are popular in a variety of modern styles. For areas such as minimalism, hi-tech, loft, strict design, clear geometry, and lack of decor are characteristic. Such furniture combines practicality and functionality.

We suggest looking at some good examples.

• Bench with backrest and pedestal. Functional furniture in black and white tones perfectly matches the minimalist style.

• Here are the "classics": a small wooden bench with a back and one armrest. Upholstered furniture is decorated with a coupler, gilding.

Thanks to a large selection of banquettes, you can choose a solution for any style of interior - from classic trends to modern.
