When we think of outdoor benches, we usually think of parks. We forget that they don't just belong there; these benches can be used to replace other kinds of chairs in our houses. They're just as cozy and are sometimes even more comfortable than the usual chaise lounge, porch swing, or sofa.
When used indoors, a park bench becomes the center of attention, in the room that it's in because of its iron frame and wooden body. It would be good to make the space around it seem to be just as full of bold character as the bench.
You've wanted to feel the great outdoors in your home for the longest time. Now, you have an outdoor bench. What do you do? You place it in your den. A chair like this deserves to be in the middle of the room, no matter its make. Surround it with plant boxes and seedling boxes which have lush clover, delightful sweet pea or other fragrant garden herbs in them. Try this suggestion of plants, only if your room has ample light from the outside.
If the lighting is good in the room and there won't be any problems with you or the others in the house getting allergies, arrange some plant and seedling crates around the bench; box it in with these. The crates should be flat ones with just enough depth to accommodate decorative greenery like clover, sweet pea, and petunias. Make a bird bowl from scratch like papier mache. Hang this by a window, just because. Hang a baseball bat and mitt on the wall; pile up a collection of sports balls in a corner, and your park theme den is ready.
If your outdoor bench is to go on your porch, then get that Victorian parlor room look with the following suggestions. Set up side tables beside each arm of the bench. Put a miniature plant on top of the table, preferably one that has round, ornamental fruit growing on it. Add a few more items such as small, standing frames which encase butterfly specimens or leaf and flower types.
Place a collection of vintage books on these tables and small bowls of potpourri. Now all you have to do is to wait for a warm night and a full moon. Then you'll really be able to enjoy your new chair, out on your porch.
If you'll use a park bench as a love seat, for a mixers party, don't be afraid to get romantic. Use satin pillows to soften the hard look of an outdoor bench. Fill a large vase with a bright flower arrangement. Make sure that the vase is as tall as your bench.
Then, bring in a string of faux pearls. You can drape the string of pearls on the bench. Later, when the lights are dim, wait for someone special to kiss you on this nicely decorated bench. These are only three examples of the many ways that you can use your outdoor bench, indoors. - 29955
