By substituting three dining chairs for a single bench you can save a fortune. This is an especially strong look when placed opposite banquet seating. Adding a bench that tucks under a table is an affordable way to add extra seating, and a space-saving one at that.

So, whether your room has country-style Shaker cupboards or sleek and contemporary units, a bench could be the answer to fitting the whole family round the table together. Of course, to improve upon the comfort, load your bench with cushions and throws that will encourage the family to stick around and chat long after your meal.
