Mysury is very much into home deco, her favorites choice is mostly the touch of an English deco. Ideas from Ikea, SSF Home Deco, Janine, Lovely Lace, Laura Ashley, JC Penny, Macy’s, Biggie Best and Pottery Barn are her main guru’s for now. (Second choice is the colonial concept, Insyallah her next home in 00 years time : )
Since moving to her new home few months back, many ideas and resources has been allocated to other important part of the house aka the living room, dining, bedroom and kitchen. Now so much for the moments areas like the entryway is being push a side for a while till time and resources will not be a strict constraint, and now Mysury is thinking of decorating the entryway of her house and with the concept of having benches to be placed near the staircase area, she start searching for everything about benches…
The journey begins..
Mysury find this article really good to help her making her choice
. One of the easiest ways to leave a lasting, warm impression on first-time visitors to your home and to make those visitors feel welcome is to place an entryway bench just inside your main entryway. Not only do entryway benches create a warm and inviting atmosphere, they are also very beautiful and are practical pieces of furniture as well.
· By incorporating the use of entryway benches into your entry hall you can offer visitors a comfortable place to sit while they are removing their winter layers of clothing or offer them a convenient storage space to keep their coats, hats and gloves. No more will you have to hunt throughout the rooms of your home or in spare closets for coats and hats that have been carelessly strewn about when you have a gorgeous entryway bench in which to store them.
· And there are so many styles and finishes associated with entryway benches that you are sure to find that perfect bench to coordinate with your existing décor, whether your style is eclectic, country or formal. You can choose from popular styles such as Western, Cottage and Antique, just to name a few.
· Take for instance the French Country hall bench manufactured by Powell. This beautiful entryway bench is constructed in the French Country design and features a weathered “linen” finish and a warm French Maple finished bench top. The bench flips up to reveal a storage chest and the back panel is adorned with a mirror and hooks which is perfect for hanging your favorite hat or scarf.
· If you prefer something a little simpler in design, perhaps the Cottage Hall Bench, also crafted by Powell, would be more to your taste. This simple hall bench features a shutter back panel and open slat side panels with a “Black Sand through Terra Cotta Weathered Finish.” An added bonus with this beautiful entryway bench is the hidden storage under the bench seats.
· If you like antiques and a more classic look, you will love the Antique Entryway Bench – Hall Tree. Available in both antique and cherry finishes, this gorgeous bench is exquisitely designed using sturdy wood and wood veneers.
· You can even choose from upholstered hall benches like the Nostalgic Oak Cedar Hall Bench. This bench features a fully upholstered seat in a floral design and a self-rising storage tray. You can also customize upholstered hall benches by covering them with your own needlepoint or family heirloom fabrics.
· And adding an entryway bench to your hall is very affordable. With benches ranging in price from $150 to $600, you are sure to find the bench that will perfectly match your personality, decorating style and budget. Just keep in mind that you do not need a grand or overstated bench to make your entryway truly spectacular. Even a simply designed wrought iron entryway bench will bring that added design element and feeling of warmth to the space in which you welcome your guests and give them the first glance into your home.
As for Mysury, with the end concept in the mind, (a concept that matches her white furniture, a small area, pastel colors, cozy finishing) she has choose the concept ideas like in the picture from Pottery Barn.
Setback: How is Mysury supposed to get this shelf & benches stack with box in Malaysia? This idea of benches is not synonym with the Malaysian concept of living, but to Mysury observation those shelf is available from IKEA and MACY – price range within RM 300 – RM 500. But those benches is a bit difficult to find, perhaps Mysury will have to opt for other thing, maybe a chest drawer or big treasure box covered with soft rug on top or maybe a sofa covered material storage box available at MACY at RM 150 each.
Or maybe, Mysury can customed made the benches from Mr Capenter : )
The choice is her's ; )
