Entry Way Seating FAQ
What type of seat works best in a small entryway?
An open-slat or metal-frame bench, narrow armless chair, or wall-mounted seat provides compact support for areas with a door and moderate foot traffic. Also consider interior storage features for stashing shoes or foldable bags. A seat up to 20 inches tall and up to 14 inches deep offers enough comfort without becoming an obstruction. Introduce the Eave Sectional Pouf or the Co Lounge Chair to infuse this balance.
Should entryway seating be a lounge chair or a pouf?
A pouf provides task-based seating that fits under larger pieces of furniture, while lounge chairs offer more permanent support and structure. The optimal choice depends on the entryway's purpose and size. A pouf, like the Cairn, works well in small spaces, while lounge chairs, like the Harbour, bring multipurpose relaxation to larger, open areas.
How much space do I need for a chair in a foyer?
Provide a seat with a 12- to 14-inch depth for sufficient support in a hallway or foyer, set back from where the door swings open, and reserve at least 36 inches for adults to pass through comfortably. If your space doesn't accommodate this ratio, choose stools for stable yet narrow seating, or move the seating area to a larger room. Consider building this arrangement with the Upholstered Co Lounge Chair, a narrower bench, or more accessible stools.
What upholstery holds up best in a high-traffic entryway?
Vinyl, faux leather, and thicker performance fabrics have more substantial construction that lets moisture and dirt roll off, resists daily wear, fading, and mold, and requires minimal upkeep. Care generally includes wiping moisture and small particles from the surface with a damp cloth.
Can entryway seating double as living room seating?
Yes, benches, poufs, lounge chairs, and other compact seating options suit smaller living areas and offer a more modular seating option for guests. In the latter case, simply slide the seat into a corner or under a console table until you have company. At the same time, pieces truly complement a room when they match its aesthetic and proportions and allow occupants to move naturally.
