Upholstered high back dining bench in a versatile color

Upholstered high back dining bench in a versatile color

This dining bench with a tufted back is available in a lighter beige and darker gray finish, both versatile enough to match most palettes while complementing the rustic oak legs.

Designer Advice:

There’s no denying that, while it requires a little more maintenance than wooden options, an upholstered back is the most comfortable choice: as long as you dust it regularly and act promptly in the event of food spillages, you can really spoil yourself by introducing one into your dining room.

Upholstered high back dining bench in an accent hue

Upholstered high back dining bench in an accent hue

As well as versatile charcoal, this high back dining bench is available in bold hues that can breathe some life into your dining room, such as plum, royal blue, aqua green, forest green, and blush pink.

Designer Advice:

Its velvet upholstery will immediately steal the scene. However, let’s be honest: this luxurious material is also more delicate and stains easily. If little kids sit on this bench during meals, you’ll probably spend the entire time worrying about them spilling something onto it.

High back bench dining in a dark finish

High back bench dining in a dark finish

Wildon Home®

This high back dining bench pairs up a black seat with a natural wood finish in either light or dark cherry. Its double-slatted back ensures a comfortable experience while also creating interesting lines.

Designer Advice:

You can use this dark finish to complement a lighter-colored table. Because it could result in a heavier feel, we only recommend adding it to a table in a darker finish if your dining room is fairly wide and airy.

Perfect for larger households, this high back dining bench for three consists of a white and natural wood design with paneling and a sophisticated European touch.

Designer Advice:

Industrial high back dining bench

Industrial high back dining bench

Only around 42” in length, this high back dining bench blends a natural wood finish and a dark metal frame in a distressed style that will immediately turn your dining room into an aesthetically pleasing hipster cafe.

Designer Advice:

Its back only includes two smaller vertical surfaces to sit up against: definitely not the most comfortable model if you were planning on squeezing in three kids or having some wiggle room occasionally.

Rustic high back bench

Rustic high back bench

This dining bench results in a delightfully charming palette thanks to its white frame in a distressed style and the barley-colored seat. The nailhead trim adds to its attention to details, together with the ornate front legs.

Designer Advice:

This model is perfect in decors inspired by the countryside, such as farmhouse or French country. Be sure to place a vase of fresh flowers or dried wheat in the middle of the actual table, too.

High back bench seat with an x pattern

High back bench seat with an x pattern

This high back dining bench for two combines solid pine and veneer. We love how it creates a beautiful contrast between the white frame and the darker slatted seat.

Designer Advice:

Its neutral colors make it particularly easy to match most palettes, but we also recommend this model if your dining room relies on a traditional decor: just look at that cozy x-shaped back!

Buying Guide

High back dining benches aren't popular furniture items as most homeowners aren't familiar with these incredible seating options. There are even those who aren't aware of the fact that they exist. Now that you know you can get your hands on these stunning seating solutions, you'd want to get the best unit for your home.

In this article, our aim is to provide you with an exhaustive guide to choosing dining benches that can be your dining room's focal point.

Home interior designers recommend buying benches together with the dining table. If you already have a dining table and you don't plan on replacing it soon, then you should only buy the bench seating that resembles your existing table's design. If you are adventurous and you want to experiment instead of abiding general rules, then choose a material or upholstery that complements your table. Don’t match it to the style or material of the table.

Your choices in terms of bench material are near endless and it's important that you choose the material based on your ability to maintain it and the frequency of the material's usage. You may not want a material that will require you to spend your entire life caring and cleaning it. If so, then steer clear from delicate wood as it requires lots of attention and time. It needs protection not just from environmental factors, but also from termites. If you can't decide for yourself, then ask the advice of experts like furniture makers and interior designers. They will be able to recommend the type of material that's right for your needs and preferences. If you don't have time to consult professionals, then just go for the material that's not delicate for usage.

Explore your options in terms of bench styles as you have myriads of choices, including rustic, modern, farmhouse, contemporary, and mid-century modern pieces. High back dining benches, unlike backless units, will give a room some sense of style and they are also more visually impactful. Remember, your primary goal is to create a welcoming, yet stunning dining area.
