I am working with different customers right now who prefer that people do not wear shoes in their homes. It’s a tricky thing to get individuals to remove their shoes without feeling as if you’re forcing them to do something they’re uncomfortable with. Most of the time, guests arrive at pairs, so I believe that providing seating for 2 is ideal if room allows. That way, 1 individual is not awkwardly standing and waiting for a twist. Below are some choices which might help make it happen. — Stephanie from SabbeSpot

Urban Outfitters

Edie Velvet Chaise, Green – $649

I chose this option while thinking of how hard it is for me to remove my winter boots sometimes. I feel a daybed sofa would make matters much easier, although I might never get up.

Target

Entryway Bench With 3 Baskets/Cushions, White – $219.99

This is probably the most functional and the most common shoe seat. I believe it could be jazzed up with a brand new single cushion in an enjoyable fabric across the top.

Overstock.com

Gallery Linen Sofa With Pillows – $989.99

This settee is gorgeous and so well priced.

Etsy

Reclaimed Wood Bench With Sliding Locker Basket by Urban Wood Goods – $265

This industrial seat would add character to any space. I adore the concept of the monitored wire basket under.

Cost Plus World Market

Pacific Madeline Banquette – $369.99

This seat is just fun at a Mad Hatter way.

Overstock.com

Paris Beige Nailhead Linen Ottoman – $244.99

I believe the legs with this piece give it nice interest.

Urban Outfitters

Gramercy Sofa, Charcoal – $779

I love this little guy. It’s just like a tiny Chesterfield.

Overstock.com

Renate Coffee Table Ottoman – $284.99

I enjoy this seat since it is easy, has a cushion on top and has an open bottom for somebody to store a couple of baskets for sneakers.

Cost Plus World Market

Indonesian Bench – $299.99

This seat looks like it could hold up to a lot of heavy use, i.e. children.

Overstock.com

Mansfield Robin’s Egg Blue Pillowtop Ottoman – $279.99

The pillow top with this seat makes me need to take a rest just considering it. In addition, I enjoy the casters on the legs.

Cost Plus World Market

Arcadia Bench – $249.99

This seat would look great on a herringbone brick floor. It is rustic yet formal.

Cost Plus World Market

Oyster Harper Banquette – $499.99

This tufted seat would look great with a large mirror above it, and, the open bottom might help corral shoes.

Z Gallerie

Archer Bench – $499

This is a tasteful, rustic option. Backless benches are nice since they could also slip under or beside console tables.

Cost Plus World Market

Linen Hayden Dining Banquette – $449.99

I adore the simplicity of the linen bench.

Z Gallerie

Storage Ottoman, Chevron – $249

Two of these under a Lucite console could be ideal.

I love the legs on this pillow-top seat.
