Whatever your size of home it’s always great to make the most of your available space. Entrances, nooks and hallways can often feel like dead space. One of the biggest challenges is finding the right type of furniture. Steve is here to ensure that your choice of handmade bench is both practical and looks good.

Practical Storage For Shoes & Boots

This elegant bench has been cleverly designed by Steve for use in a hallway. It’s a great example of space-saving furniture. The bench is made in English oak with a clear satin hard wax oil finish. It measures 1.8m long. When you lift up either one of the two seats you will find a place underneath. Here you can neatly store shoes. Who would have known that this could be a way to make the most of your available space?

“Any problem has a solution. Steve is here to help you find the answer. He will handcraft the perfect piece of furniture to meet your needs.”

Steve designed this simple but striking stop-chamfered corner settle in English oak. It features a low back rest. Along with four brass-handled cupboard doors. It can be used for storing not only shoes but long outdoor boots and wellington boots. It is yet another way to make the most of your available space.

A variation on the theme is this high back bench featuring a stop-chamfered design. It has legs that raise it just off the floor. As well as stunning turned arm rests. When you lift the seat it reveals useful storage space.

Are you looking for something a little more contemporary? A modern looking stop-chamfered box settle could be the solution. This practical storage box is made in English oak. It is finished in a clear satin hard wax oil. It measures 110cm x 50cm x 45cm. The sizing means that it is nice and sturdy to sit on. The seating also conceals a box with plenty of space. Here you can store anything from bedlinen to children’s toys. Steve can hand make your own version of this settle to the exact size of your choice.

With a little creativity and some savvy space saving furniture, Steve can help you transform the most of your available space. A seemingly dead space can become a perfectly practical nook.
