The fireplace is no exception to the rule of trends. Generally located in the living room, this relaxing and warm space also aims to renew its style and its elements. If the accessories that surround it are popular once autumn comes, its layout is also subject to some changes linked to a constant demand for comfort and safe haven in interiors. In recent years, many architectural projects have exhibited modern fireplaces which fully contribute to the spirit of the place, warm spaces which are increasingly equipped with a cozy bench or a minimalist bench, according to taste.
The fireplace with bench seat, a cozy trend
Always in search of well-being, living spaces such as the living room are increasingly relying on nooks in which to work or daydream alone. The bench associated with the fireplace responds to this growing demand for small spaces "for oneself". Inexpensive and easy to decorate cozy corners that have the gift of shaping the space while fully participating in the general atmosphere of the place. A bohemian fireplace with trendy zelliges or a minimalist fireplace embedded in a made-to-measure piece of furniture can accommodate benches in their extension in order to accentuate their elegance.
Video of the day:The bench and the bench, a new argument for decorative interiors
Inside and outside, the presence of a bench seat has become a veritable decorative leitmotif. Easy to create, to pimp or to sublimate, the bench provides a decor that immediately suggests conviviality. With the fireplace-bench appear other trends: superimposed mattresses to increase comfort, the string of decorative cushions to reinforce the cozy character, the designer log holder placed in the extension of the bench, more masonry bench coverings more in tune with the times. The bench can also take the appearance of a simple suspended wooden bench, capable of accommodating a few storage lockers in its lower part, or a simple masonry platform for an assumed brutalist effect where to store its small decoration. This is also one of the strong attractions of this development: it evolves according to the desires. Want to exhibit your decor and books in the fall on this large surface? Possible. Want to transform the space into a cozy bench to enjoy the fire in winter? Still possible. Want to drop off all your most beautiful plants with the arrival of spring? Still possible.
