Does This Bench Work In This Home?

The owner posed this question online. What do you say?

I don't see a "bench." Just a few couches.

I'd say yes.

Is it the same house? It is two different styles. No to the first. The second one looks fine where it is. Those vertical blinds are a big no. JMO

I think yes. And I hope the owner has new window treatments on order.

I think it would work. It's whimsically attractive.

To me it looks like the OP took a pix of a sofa and is wondering if it would work in that home. My answer is

NO!

Yes, it would work in that house. But I never buy furniture that screams "Look at me! I'm so clever and artsy."

I know I'll hate it within six months.

****I'd also give some more thought to how you could use that space at the bottom of the stairs. In my house, the bench would become a place where I throw my coat. Would anyone really want to sit in that spot?

I don't think it would work in any home!

I seriously doubt it would work in any home, but its lines are too traditional for a very contemporary house. Its a hodge podge.

If the bench ever decides what it wants to be when it grows up it could be lovely.

That was my first thought, too, but the more I looked at it, the less offensive I found it. I actually think it would work in the home because the sofa is white (or ivory) and all of the colors in the bench wouldn't clash with it.

@Mz iMac The first picture is the bench.

Yes, it is the same house. I posted it just as she did/

I came upon these pictures quite by accident so I don't know this person. This was a question she was asking others to weigh in on to see if they thought it matched her decor.

I thought it could be worked in somehow but haven't figured it out yet! like someone else said....it is whimsical.

No, No and No!!

As long as the person who bought it likes it I would think it would work.

@jubilant All I see is a couch. What am I missing?

Where I come from a bench & a couch/sofa are 2 different types of furniture. I consider this a bench.......

Would you consider this a couch/sofa too?

The naming of such furniture regional?

Hey @Mz iMac We come from the same place. I would call this an upholstered bench.
