Storage Bench: Coastal Teak Deck Cushion Box, Three Panel Front

Tara Gosselin | Interior Design Expert

This versatile storage bench is a perfect addition to a coastal patio or a poolside deck. Its warm honey-toned wood and architectural louvered panels provide a sophisticated yet functional focal point against light-colored siding. To complete the look, pair the unit with a large-scale patterned outdoor rug and a set of navy blue performance fabric pillows. You can balance the box's horizontal lines by flanking it with tall potted greens or a classic black wall lantern. Periodically wipe the surface with a damp cloth to maintain its luster and prevent debris buildup in the slats.
