How do you choose the right length of the bench?

A bench is a versatile addition to any room. Whether you're looking for a bench for the dining area, hallway or bedroom, the right dimensions are crucial to ensure comfort and aesthetics. In this blog article I will give you some tips on how to find the perfect dimensions for your bench.

  1. Determine the intended use of the bench: Before you start planning the dimensions, you should determine the intended use of the bench. Should it be used primarily for seating or do you also need storage space underneath? Is it intended for indoor or outdoor use? By clarifying the intended use, you can better determine the functionality of the bench.

  2. Consider the size of the room: Carefully measure the room where the bench will be placed. Consider the length, width and height of the available space. It is important to leave enough space around the bench to allow easy entry and exit. Also consider how the bench will be integrated into the overall room and whether it fits in with other pieces of furniture.

  3. Decide on the seat height: The seat height is an important factor for the comfort of the bench. An average seat height is between 45 cm and 50 cm. However, you can also adjust the seat height to suit your personal needs. If the bench is intended for the dining table, you should ensure that the height matches the height of the table top to ensure a comfortable seating experience.

  4. Determine the seat depth: The seat depth also influences the comfort of the bench. An average seat depth is between 40 cm and 50 cm. However, keep in mind that this can depend on the type of upholstery and the intended use of the bench. For a comfortable bench in the living room, you may want a deeper seat, while a bench for the hallway may have a shallower depth.

  5. Choose the right length: The length of the bench depends on various factors, including the space available and the number of people to sit on it. A good rule of thumb is to allow about 60 cm to 90 cm of seating space per person. If you want additional storage space under the bench, you must take this into account when calculating the length.

  6. Test and experiment: If possible, try out different benches or use sample measurements to get an idea of ​​the actual size. Sit on it and check whether the seat height, seat depth and length meet your requirements and whether they are comfortable.

By considering the size of the room, intended use and comfort, you can determine the right dimensions for your bench . Remember, it's important to consider your room's individual needs and style to find a bench that's both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
