x-benches...

I was looking at wicker x-benches the other day to possibly put in front of the twin beds we have in our guest bedroom {discussed here}.  I really like these guys over at Pottery Barn and Overstock.

X-benches are great because they can not only be used to add some texture or a pop of color to a room but are also functional as extra seating or if you just need to fill up extra space.  Here are a few examples...

Extra seating tucked under a hallway console or sofa table...

They work well in front of twin beds but can also be paired together in front of a larger bed in a master bedroom.

They are great for extra seating in a living room and can even serve as a substitute to a coffee or end table.

You can even stick them out as extra seating on your patio.
