Chair in the hallway...

[Karbea]

Do you have one? If so what is it like?
Dh and I have decided we need one, he'd like one with arms.

I'm thinking either something like this or this. I'm slightly worried the first might look too large and the second like we've moved a dining room chair into the hall.
It's a cottage like house.

[HaveToWearHeels]

He is lovely Karbea

[Karbea]

No he is an American cocker spaniel.

[HaveToWearHeels]

oneofthegiantsisme that website has some lovely things, I don't think my DH will be too pleased lol

[HaveToWearHeels]

I think a bench exactly where you have stated against the wall. I too love your dog, is it a Cockerpoo ?

[minipie]

Ooh, lovely hallway. And dog.

I'd got for a bench too, for the extra storage.

this one from Made maybe would go with your dark grey lampshades

We've got this one in our kitchen, it looks good and we can store plenty in the baskets. Also available in white.

[Karbea]

Ah yes, the love of my life ;)

Forget the table, lets concentrate on that Georgeous Dog. If you gave him & his crate to a very deserving home you would have masses of room for a bench, table & sofa..

We've got a bench a bit like this one:
www.interiorwhite.co.uk/living/sojerd-white-storage-bench-383/product-details?gclid=CMC7xc7W4r4CFYXKtAodjygAiA

The storage in the top holds random school books (in theory), and we've got baskets (from Ikea) on the shelf underneath for hats/gloves/sunnies.

It doesn't always work as somewhere to sit on for shoes, though - I leave stuff on it for kids to take up to their rooms, and it can stay there for months a while.

We also have a spare dining chair in the corner - more useful for sitting on!

[Karbea]

I'd love a pew, but I don't think it'll fit.

See picture below, ignore the mess! I'm thinking of putting it (chair/bench/whatever) against the stairs. Although I could get rid of/move to another room, the console and get a smaller table and a chair where that is.
The dog crate will need to move.

[Karbea]

Err because we do need a chair to sit on to put on shoes more easily and dhs preference was for a chair with arms. mrslettuce suggested a bench and we thought that was a good idea.

[Littleturkish]

Flip chart, rtft.

I prefer a wooden pew like bench- have you room for that?

[flipchart]

Well why did you post two pictures of chairs in your OP saying that you need one and your DH wants one with arms?

[Karbea]

Yes I won't be storing shoes, just sitting on it.

[ChippyMinton]

I think the OP wants to sit on it and put on her shoes, not put the shoes on the chair.

[flipchart]

Wel if it is only for shoes why not get a shoe cabinet?

You have completely thrown me with what you wanted by posting two pictures of chairs in your OP and had the word chair in your title.

There was no mention of shoes being stored.

[Karbea]

No I haven't, but I think I will at some stage as I love the things.

[Moreisnnogedag]

OP have you bought from that swoon website before? I've never seen it before but seen a number of things that I love. It seems quite substantially cheaper than similar things elsewhere though?

[rhubarbcrumbleplease]

I'd love a church pew, if I had space

[Karbea]

Oh I'm all confused again :/

[OneStepCloser]

We have this bench in our hallway, shoes hidden inside no, not left on top and beside ever, no no

[BumWad]

I like the second chair you posted. This is ours. Although it is currently in the lounge as we are having a bit of a move around

[Fram]

We have a bench- space for more than one to put on their shoes!

[Aethelfleda]

As an alternative, have you considered an Ottoman? We keep all our spare shoes in ours and it was invaluable when I was at the beached-whale point of pregnancy and had to sit to get me boots on...

[FuckyNell]

This is mine

[NorbertDentressangle]

We have a chair in the hallway.

The idea was it was somewhere to sit to put your shoes on but the reality is it's where the children tend to dump coats and school bags when they get in

Would your bench be used like that?
