15 Storage Benches for Every Room in the House
Cut down on clutter, then kick back and relax with these incredible organization ideas.

Storage benches just make life easier. Place them by the front door, and they give you a comfortable spot to lace up your shoes or slip on your coat. Put them in the living room or den, and they offer an extra seat while keeping pillows and blankets within arm's reach. And if the nursery or playroom is always a mess? A storage bench can help reduce clean-up time. (And restore some parental peace of mind.)
Suffice it to say, storage benches are the ultimate cure-all when it comes to clutter — and we've found the best for every room in the house. Scroll on to see our favorite pieces and relish in the instant organization.
Entryway
Keep your entryway free of clutter and tripping hazards with this thoughtful storage bench. A padded cushion on top invites you to sit and remove your shoes, while two pull-out drawers move them out of the way until you're ready to leave the house.
If you want to streamline your entryway, just swap your console table for this all-in-one, midcentury-style bench. Two drawers become a drop zone for magazines and mail, which you can peruse from the comfort of the gray cushion.
Hallway
Not a fan of visual clutter? Slip personal items out of sight with help from this sleek wood storage bench. Two drop-down doors conceal everyday items and help your entryway look clean and contemporary.
When in doubt, add functionality to an empty stretch of hallway with this versatile bench. The lower level is wide enough to accommodate baskets or stacks of books. Complete it with a large piece of art or a potted plant and you're all set.
Living Room
With this tufted storage bench, you can tidy your living room in minutes and then promptly put your feet up. The large interior compartment is perfect for tucking spare blankets and stray toys out of sight and even has a slot for remotes and books.
Create an impromptu window seat anywhere in the house with just this cushioned bench and a couple of throw pillows. Shiplap paneling in a soft white finish enlivens the front, while cup pulls open to reveal two cubbies for your books or records.
Why choose between extra seating and storage when you could have both in your living room or office? This upholstered bench offers the best of both worlds, with gently rolled arms, a supportive base for stretching out and a large compartment for your tech.
Kitchen
