Hello my lovelies!  I’ve got a guest poster in today whilst I reside quite happily in my Halloween candy-induced coma.  Let me introduce to you the lovely Joanna who will blow you away with some gorgeous inpiring images – we are talking TUFTING baby.  Anyway, enough from me!  Enjoy! ;)

While tufted benches are a mainstay in many bedrooms, there are clever ways to incorporate them throughout the house. From a banquette in a dining area flanked by light fixtures on either side to a simple bench at the entry, tufted benches are not only useful they are eye-catching as well. Below you’ll find some of the most beautiful ways to incorporate them in your own home.

Two small classic- styled benches sit at the foot of a tailored bed with a whimsical headboard. The colors in the headboard and benches play off each other nicely.

This long tufted bench fits this queen bed in French style perfectly. A zebra rug adds a playful touch to an otherwise formal room.

Unexpected, this built-in tufted bench with tufted wall is stunning. The antler- like silver wall lamp with linen shade makes a playful gesture in this formal setting.

Gorgeous! A gray velvet tufted bench at the foot of a silvery bed looks enchanting. The mirrors flanking the bed reflect the ambient light from the attic windows making a large table lamp unnecessary.

This linen covered bench proves they don’t just look terrific in the bedroom. A bench is a clever way to add extra seating to a conversation area.

A tiny tufted bench with curvy lines brings a feminine edge to a tailored bedroom. The neutrals used in this room make it a relaxing haven.

A simple tailored bench plays nicely with a zebra rug and black wrought iron at the doors.

This stately tufted bench adds an unexpected element to a black and white entry. This space must be stunning at night time with the gorgeous hanging lantern illuminating its contrasting colors.
