Not only can you employ one at the end of a bed to give your clients a sleek place to perch, but a good-looking bench will instantly transform an underutilized living room corner or entryway into a bona fide sitting nook. From ocean-wave-inspired stunners to waterfall-style beauties, here are six options to consider for your next project.
