Seat placements at home are a no-brainer given that they are needed in the living room, the dining area, kitchen, and rooms. But, how else can one maximize space to comfortably accommodate more guests or to simply set a more homey atmosphere? A question we ask on behalf of those wondering what to do with a bare spot in one of their areas. After all, one can never have too many seats, especially when those are strategically placed inside the home. Here are a few locations to mount stools, benches, couches and even hammocks!

Hello, come in!

Natural light hitting against a clean palette of browns, white, blue, and hints of green would definitely invite guests inside and set off a long, hearty conversation. Add the wooden bench positioned against the tall glass window by your entrance and you will surely have them swooning over the starry skyline or city lights until midnight – perfect spot for group photos or selfies! 

Convenient obstruction

Perhaps a seat placed on the foot of the staircase is a happy accident! While some might find having a chair at the foot of the stairs an obstruction, sometimes it can also be a lively addition to an otherwise dull space. Just think, you can place things there temporarily like when you forget something from your room upstairs, men can sit and wait there while their wife finishes her makeup.

Owners have the liberty to decide what can be done to this spot. This design by bloomint design maximizes the area by adding a long cushion and color-coordinated and patterned throw pillows to convert it into a seat that serves as an extended living room complementing the rocking chair and small upholstered stools. Truly a quirky twist to the conventional sofa set!

We simply cannot get over utilizing that spot below your staircase and, surely, if you're looking into doing the same, this artsy arrangement of a pair of chairs against a backdrop of framed art pieces and the floor ornaments is reminiscent of that one calm summer afternoon conversation you had with your grandfather. 

Tucked in the corner

Without pulling off a prank on someone who passes through the dividing wall, anyone sitting on this chair by the corner would be sending the signal of wanting to be left alone with his book or in his pensive mood. The quirky lamp stand against the shelf holding other house ornaments plus the pair of wall-mounted lamps scream pent-up eclectic in a good way.

Looking pretty in a hotel bar

The kitchen chairs are a cliche but of course when you've been blessed with an in-house bar at home, stools would be a natural addition for when guests would be entertained by your bartending skills. Playful light fixtures also legitimize the area as the mainstay of exciting Friday nights with your closest friends, and perhaps a television mounted against the wall for game nights. Here is an alternate option for counter seats in the living room or in the kitchen

Hanging by a moment

Terraces are like sanctuaries atop the busy civilization. Logically, one would prefer to recline on a comfy chair situated on the this spot, but noticeably on this arrangement, the hanging cushioned seat is positioned against the view and towards the wall-mounted greens – a smart trade-off between the bustling urban scene and momentary sanctuary. If you're more adventurous, you can opt for a hammock instead of a cushioned hanging seat to bring the sea closer to home. 

Sense and 'zensibility'

Wood and cool, smooth cement plus a few scattered greens evoke a Japanese zen like this garden by Bea Ray Garden Design Ltd. Notably, the geometric wooden bench surrounded by plants is a quaint respite for anyone looking to have some peace after a long day. Warm yellow garden lights on the ground or along the walls may also be a perfect complement to the serenity. If one is planning to hold a get-together at home, this site would also be very useful. The bench as a divider would be a great for a more intimate conversation from the rest by the main garden space.
