At FW Homestores, you’ll find a wide variety of designs tailored to both modern and classic homes.
Dining Benches with Backs
If comfort is your top priority, a dining bench with backrest provides extra support for everyday use. These designs are ideal for longer meals or homes where the bench doubles as extra seating in the kitchen or living area.
Corner Dining Bench Sets
A dining corner bench makes clever use of space in smaller kitchens or open-plan dining areas. Our corner bench dining sets often include both the bench and matching table, creating a complete look that fits neatly into corners.
Upholstered Dining Benches
For a softer, more elegant feel, upholstered dining benches in fabric, faux leather, or velvet add texture and comfort. These styles pair beautifully with modern dining tables and can double as hallway or bedroom seating.
Wooden Dining Benches
A timeless option, a wooden dining bench for dining room tables offers durability and warmth. Oak dining benches are especially popular for their natural grain, sturdy build, and ability to age gracefully.
Storage Dining Benches
Need extra practicality? A dining bench with storage combines seating with hidden compartments—perfect for tucking away table linens, kids’ toys, or seasonal décor.
Choosing the Right Size Dining Bench
The right fit is just as important as style. Here’s a quick guide to help you measure:
- Bench length: Ideally, your dining table bench should be about 20–30 cm shorter than your table length, leaving space at either end.
- Height: Match the bench seat height to your table. Standard dining tables are around 75 cm high, so a bench seat height of 45 cm works well.
- Clearance: Make sure there’s enough legroom under the table when the bench is pushed in.
If you’re choosing a corner dining bench set, measure both walls carefully to ensure a snug fit.
Styling Your Dining Bench
A dining room bench can blend in or stand out depending on your design goals:
- Rustic look: Pair an oak dining bench with a farmhouse table for a natural, welcoming style.
- Contemporary look: A black dining bench or sleek upholstered design adds a modern edge.
- Mix & match: Combine dining table benches with chairs for an eclectic, flexible setup.
- Layer with textiles: Add cushions or throws to soften wooden benches and create a cosy vibe.
