I love x-benches. They’re so versatile – they can be used as footstools, tucked under an entryway console so people can sit to put on or take off their shoes, styled at the end of a bed or used as extra seating in any space.
I got my first x-bench several years ago from Ballard Designs in their “Mira blue” fabric and it has been styled under our Serena & Lily Blake console table for many years now.

Recently I was gifted two x-benches from The Inside in their cherry blossom mint fabric and I’m thrilled with them. I love that they match the patterns on each stool so they look really custom. You can use code VERONABRIT50 for $50 off your order of $199 or more from The Inside.
HOW TO STYLE X-BENCHES IN YOUR HOME:
Here are a few ways we’ve styled x-benches in our home + some extra ideas!
- Under an entryway table – for ease of putting on/taking off shoes
- Under a console table – to pull out for extra seating if needed/for aesthetics
- At the foot of a bed – for aesthetics, to hold blankets or pillows or for extra seating in any room
- In a living room or family room – to use as footstools/extra seating
