A Deacon bench makes an interesting entryway or mudroom seat where you can sit down and take off your shoes. You can use the space under the bench to store your seasonal footwear or muddy shoes that may ruin your floor. Some designs even come with hooks to hang your coats, bags, and other accessories.
In addition, this versatile furniture piece can be placed anywhere in your home for extra seating, storage, and decor. You can turn your deacon bench into a kitchen booth to create a cozy setting for eating breakfast or place it out on your patio for quiet reflection and reading. If your deacon bench comes with a lift seat, you can organize your space by storing your sofa blankets, your children’s toys, and other miscellaneous items in the storage compartment. Don’t forget to add throw pillows on the bench to create an inviting and aesthetically pleasing focal point in your home.
