Double Benches Provide Seating for Two

Use a Slab for a Built-In Shower Bench

In this bathroom, a matching marble slab provides a sturdy, comfy place to sit. Not only does this add a nice feature, but it also helps to make everything look cohesive. Rather than installing smaller shower tiles, this homeowner chose oversized marble pieces for the walls, floor, and trim, giving this petite bathroom an elegant, chic aesthetic. It also adds a wonderful safety feature for those who plan to age in place.

Design a Complete Shower Seat

This large shower is not only stunning, but it also features two benches that could easily double as standalone furniture in any other room of the home. If you really want to make an impression and create something truly comfortable, consider this bold bench design, featuring solid stone pieces for ample support and a unique focal point.

The material matches the rest of the bathroom shower design perfectly, creating a dramatic addition. The shower niche for soaps is a nice addition as well.

Install a Built-in Bench

Showers with benches are not just extra functional, they’re also a bit more visually elevated than those without. This sleek tiled shower is punctuated with a small bench perfect for seating or, in this case, adding a houseplant. The elongated cutout creates a convenient niche where everything for shaving, shampooing, shaving your legs, and more is easily within arm’s reach.

A Minimalist Shower Design

As you explore ideas about shower benches, consider the size and layout of your bathroom. Here, the little details make the difference, including the handheld showerhead, the shower niche that gives you a place to put all of your toiletries, and, of course, the matching shower bench. This design proves that even with a small walk-in shower, you can easily create a space that meets your needs.

Install a Corner Bench for Convenience

This bathroom has an unusual design, with wood-look floor tiles and stone shower walls. Rather than adding a freestanding stool, this homeowner opted for a small yet convenient corner seat inside the shower that doesn’t take up too much space. A niche just above this corner shower bench is another great feature with a spot to store toiletries. The tiled wall is easy to clean, making this bathroom a pleasant place to unwind.

Try a Tall Shower Bench For Comfortable Seating

If you’re looking for shower seat ideas that add resale value and accessibility, consider this design. The taller style of this bench makes it even easier to sit down and relax, transforming the bathroom into a relaxing, spa-like retreat. Before installing this must-have feature, make sure you check how high and how wide you want the bench to be to ensure it’s a perfect fit for you.

Make The Bench an Integral Part of Your Shower

Although the overall design of this walk-in shower is simple, installing a large bench adds a true “wow” factor. While the walls, floors, and ceiling of this unusual bathroom look like wood, the much lighter-colored shower bench looks to be made of concrete or stone. A cutout on one side of the shower also lets in an abundance of natural light, keeping this bathroom from feeling too dark or closed in.

A Stunning Modern Shower with a Bench Near the Window

When remodeling a bathroom, you have many design choices to consider. In this particular space, the bench is integrated right into the window on the back wall, creating a unique nook where you can gaze out at the view as you bathe.

Note how the trim of this “bench” matches the vanity and sink, complementing the overall design. You could also install an L-shaped shower bench if you wanted extra seating room. This example proves that your shower bench can be a great place to perch and relax while you rinse the day off.

Create a Bold Contrast with Your Bench

White square ceramic tile evokes a classic look in this generally traditional bathroom. However, the shower bench is crafted from solid gray marble with distinct veining that immediately makes it stand out. That same material flows onto the shower floor, creating a gorgeous feature that shows your bathroom doesn’t have to consist solely of the same repeating materials to be stylish. 

via Wrede

A Floating Shower Bench Works Well in Small Spaces

This shower may be small, but the floating bench installed directly under the showerhead adds an elevated element that helps it stand out. Pebble shower floor tile adds texture and contrasts beautifully with the stark white stone, featuring a hint of gray veining. A combination of a detachable showerhead, small corner niches, and a large rainfall showerhead makes this little bathroom feel like a luxurious spa that you can enjoy every day.

Put the Bench Near a Window For Added Warmth

As you explore shower bench ideas, remember that where you put the bench is just as important as its material and design. In this bathroom, the shower niche or bench is located against the back wall, right next to an angled, sunny window for a little extra warmth.

A beautiful glass shower wall trimmed in black protects the rest of the bathroom from splashes and keeps everything light, airy, and open. When designing your bathroom, remember to choose features like showerheads, flooring, and the shower door in a configuration that works for you.

If you’re interested in designing a new kitchen, the cabinet color can significantly impact the look of your space. A dark green kitchen lends a brooding, modern look to this important part of the home. When it comes to modern trends, forest green kitchen cabinets are an excellent choice to create a dark, natural look. 

Even if you’re not well-versed in interior design, these stylish, nature-inspired kitchen ideas can help you get started. Whether you’re making minor updates or doing a full renovation, it’s easy to jump on the green kitchen trend. Check out these beautiful, nature-inspired ideas for a stunning forest green kitchen you’ll love.

Beige Stone Countertops Elevate the Rich Greens in This Modern Kitchen

The bold shade of green for the cabinets in this space adds a dramatic effect. Paired with the beige stone countertops, this combination is a match made in heaven. While the cabinets’ unique hue lends this kitchen a lively aesthetic, the bright brass hardware on the cabinetry really helps it pop.

A brushed-brass faucet complements the hardware, while the simple open shelf above the sink is a sleek, modern accent. While most shades of forest green are deep, this particular shade has a brightness that creates a lively yet welcoming space.

Dark Green Kitchen Cabinets Add a Moody Effect

In this kitchen, the emerald green cabinetry pops against the light beige walls. Matching green stone countertops elevate the green kitchen cabinets, creating a seamless and cohesive look. The coordinating green wooden shelving on the wall also adds visual balance to the space.

The light herringbone floors in this kitchen help to put the deep forest green of the countertops and cabinets in the spotlight. When buying a new kitchen, consider which elements you want to use for the focal point and choose the boldest colors for that component.

A Light and Bright Corner Kitchen Design

When it comes to design trends, you can never go wrong with white walls, especially when you’re incorporating other bold colors into the room. In this beautiful two-tone kitchen design, the cabinets’ dramatic green shade stands out against the stark walls and light floors.

Butcher block countertops complement the floors perfectly and help to draw the eye toward the green cabinets. A sleek, white scalloped backsplash on one wall adds visual interest and a modern touch.

Go Nature-Inspired with Sage Green

The chic white-and-natural interior of this kitchen is punctuated by earthy sage-green cabinets. Open shelving adds a convenient place for stylish decor, houseplants, and other items. An open floor plan makes this kitchen airy and bright, along with a massive window just across from the sink and countertop area.

When it comes to green kitchen ideas, you can incorporate the color subtly into the design, as seen here. Rather than making all of the major elements green, the homeowner simply chose to add a flush of this soft, earthy hue to the main cabinetry. Instead of a kitchen island, they chose a simple wooden dining table and chairs to match the natural aesthetic.

A Dark and Moody Kitchen Renovation

This space is the true definition of a forest green kitchen with the walls, ceiling, upper, and lower cabinets all matching. The large burgundy tile backsplash lends it a dramatic contrast, along with the industrial-inspired black metal vent hood. 

Natural wood countertops soften the space and add a lighter element to tone down the forest-green walls and ceiling. Sleek silver drawer hardware also adds an elevated, modern component. If you like the idea of deep olive cabinetry in the kitchen, adding a few other elements in different colors is a smart way to keep things from becoming too monotone.

Grassy Green Elevates this Cheery Kitchen

Rather than using dark forest green, these kitchen designers chose a lighter grassy green. This color works beautifully against the white walls and white ceramic tile, which helps to make the green color stand out. 

Rustic natural hardwood floors ground the space, which is flanked by a sunny window that fills this kitchen with sunlight. Long worktops directly across from the sink and stove give the homeowner plenty of space to prep food.

A Kitchen Bathed in Beautiful Blue-Green

While many of these kitchens feature forest or olive green cabinetry, this one has a much different shade. The brilliant blue-green color adds an elevated, modern look to this large cooking space. 

The white countertops and white subway-tile backsplash help create a stunning, two-toned aesthetic in this cozy space. Some of the upper cabinets feature glass doors, offering a perfect place to display a few favorite décor items, glassware, and more. A small, simple round-top table and upholstered stool create a comfy area to sit down and enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning.

Escape to Nature With this Farmhouse Kitchen Design

A Modern Kitchen with Hunter Green Cabinets

This large, open-plan kitchen is replete with modern details, including the sputnik-inspired chandelier above the island and the luxe marble countertops. Wide wood plank flooring softens the space, as does the bright white subway tile on one wall.

Sage green is a warm, earthy color that brings a welcoming, natural vibe to any room. This muted hue has hints of gray and brown undertones, making it a versatile choice for most spaces, including the kitchen. If you’re thinking of updating your cooking space, consider adding sage green.

Use Different Types of Paint for Unique Texture

In this kitchen, sage green paint was used to color the cabinets and wainscotting on the walls. However, a limestone wash behind the stove gives the room a subtle contrast and a slightly different texture.

The ceiling is painted bright white to help the sage green paint colors pop. Stainless steel appliances and white stone countertops lend this kitchen a modern, sleek finishing touch.

Highlight Sage Green with Touches of Brass

Warm, earthy green hues make this kitchen a welcoming and delightful space. However, it’s the addition of brushed brass that really helps the beautiful green kitchen cabinets and walls stand out. From cabinet handles to appliances, light fixtures, and faucets, just the right amount of brass works well to showcase the warm green tones.

White and gray marbled stone also does a good job of playing off of the kitchen’s main green hue.

Make Sage the Star of the Show

For this space, the homeowner chose to paint the walls of this eat-in kitchen a lovely, soft sage green. Note how the ivory pantry door, the wall with the window, and the matching floor trim give it a lovely contrast and a rich, comforting feel.

The addition of solid wood open wall shelves adds storage and a rustic element. A black pendant light dangling above the dining table brings this kitchen a slightly modern element.

Add a Light Sage Green Color to the Wall

Although this particular shade of sage green is extremely light, it adds just enough color to make the space more appealing. The bright white kitchen cabinets in this space help the beautiful green tone stand out.

Try a Stunning Clary Sage Color

Clary sage has slight yellow undertones that give it a grayish look in certain lighting and a relaxing, calming vibe. In this kitchen, the sage green walls look elegant paired with the dark wood upper and lower walnut cabinets. A unique stove exhaust gives this kitchen a bold, unusual feature.

Light gray stone countertops and a matching backsplash tie it all together and work beautifully with the clary sage walls.

Make Sage a Feature Wall Color

Instead of using sage green on every wall or opting for sage green cabinets, this homeowner chose to make it the accent wall color. The bright white ceiling and white walls in the rest of the space help draw attention to the sage feature wall, which is also where most of the action happens in this space.

Black industrial lights above the counters bring the kitchen a unique touch, and gray marble lends it a luxurious, beautiful pop of texture and contemporary color.

Bring in Natural Elements

In this nature-inspired kitchen, the homeowner added sage green to the cabinet doors and the walls. Modern patterned wallpaper in an adjacent room adds a playful element to the home and helps to break up the space.

Try a Darker Shade

The designer chose a darker shade of sage here to contribute to the modern look of this kitchen. Darker gray lower cabinets work well against the green wall, and the white subway tile goes all the way to the ceiling.

If you want to create a modern style, dark green paint is a great choice. A vintage chandelier hangs over the table, which brings this kitchen a nice blend of antique and contemporary.

Use Color to Tie Old and New Together

Even a small kitchen can look incredible with the right colors and finishes. In this example, the retro-inspired black and white floors give it a vintage vibe, while the sleek pendant lights over the beautiful white farmhouse sink add a modern component.

Window seats can be a great spot to enjoy the view of your garden or over the city from. They are a prime spot to enjoy the natural light coming into your house or apartment and they can be integrated into your interior without too much cost or effort.

To me, the best window seat ideas are the ones that integrate and blend in with the surrounding furniture and interior. You can style your window seat with a mixture of throw pillows, blankets, seat cushions, and the optional sheepskin to make it the coziest spot in your interior.

In the kitchen, window seats can be a great way to provide the space with a breakfast nook, but it can be a great solution to integrate a cozy window seat inside of the kitchen layout as well. In the living room, dining room, or even kids room on the other hand they can provide you with the ultimate spot to enjoy the sun or to read a good book.

A kitchen window seat to create a dining room section as part of the kitchen floor plan

This beautiful beige kitchen has a smaller section with a window for the dining table.

The tall cupboard right next to the window bench separates the kitchen layout nicely from the dining area.

Two window seats meet in the corner for an impressive effect

This is probably one of the biggest window seat ideas on the list, as this corner layout consists of two long benches that meet each other by the window.

When you have the opportunity to look out on the outdoors like in this beautiful house, it would be a shame not to integrate a window seat from which you can enjoy your morning coffee while looking over the beautiful scenery.

An easy DIY window seat idea in between a dormer window

This must be one of the easiest window seat ideas on the list, as the window seat is made out of a simple wood panel.

The living room window is a dormer window that lends itself to a window seat to utilize the space. Instead of working with built-ins, the perfect solution was created by a custom-cut wood panel resting on both the walls of the dormer window.

The addition of a reading light and a magazine rack transforms this area into a cozy reading nook that is decorated with a mixture of beige and white throw pillows.
