An easy way to add comfort and functionality to even the coldest entryway is with a bench. Benches come in every style, color and material you can dream up. They can be upholstered, have storage and help introduce guests to your home's design right when they step in the front door. Here are a few of my favorites, with something for every budget. — Danyelle from Dandee Designs

| This is the kind of bench you can style to fit into almost any decor. Add baskets to store mittens and gloves, a cushion in the color of your choice to soften it up and perhaps even a few birch logs in one of the cubbies to warm it all up. I love the versatility. |

For some reason, the second I spotted this bench I started imagining it placed over an ikat rug with a stack of great designer books placed on one end. Do you see it too?

mmsalg Entry benches are very specific to the space. Making something custom is always an option and the price is often a pleasant surprise. This link has a ton of makers creating beautiful custom benches: http://www.custommade.com/gallery/custom-bench/?p=3
