How Best to Decorate Your Nelson Bench

The unique simplicity and unadorned beauty of the Nelson Bench are two of its most praiseworthy characteristics. However, too much plainness can be a bit jarring, which is why you always have to amplify its aesthetics with some handy décor items. Below, we’ll be sharing a few ideas on how you can do so. Let’s take a look:

1. Statement vases


Some gorgeous vases with beautiful leaves or artful flower arrangements would make an excellent companion for your Nelson Bench – especially when you’re using it in the capacity of a coffee table. If you take a look at this image, you’ll see how the contrast of the leaves and the color of the vase complements the easy elegance of the Nelson Bench so stunningly.

2. A cluster of planters

The Nelson Bench can provide a great surface to feature plants. It’s organic appeal and natural aesthetic would make the planters stand out no matter in what formation they are placed in. You can take inspiration from this image. Or you can customize the number and style of planters according to your own tastes.

3. Glass topped

If you like the perforated surfaced of the Nelson Bench as it is and are in no mood to load it with décor of any kind, then you can top it off with glass to make it feel more stylish. It’s a good way to further modernize and emphasize its simplicity to the fullest.

4. DIY trays

If you’re using the Nelson Bench as a coffee table in your living rooms, then you can definitely accessorize it with a beautiful DIY tray setting. The best part about it is that you can totally customize whatever you put in the tray – it could be a vase full of flowers, a stack of books, a bowl full of chocolates, or even an antique accessory. The mix-and-match of décor can reflect the overall theme of your space.

5. A gallery backdrop

You can enhance the seating potential of your Nelson Bench by placing it right in front of a tastefully curated gallery wall in your homes. If you’re searching for inspiration, then take a look at this image. It features a beautiful, stylish, and thematic translation of this concept. The blue accents of the artwork are reflected in the removable cushions placed on the bench.

6. Everyday bedroom essential

The Nelson Bench can make a great everyday bedroom essential. It has the kind of stylish aesthetic that can even make clutter look glamorous. So even when you put your hand bag on it or even when you take off your shoes right before it, it would still look stylishly organized and beautiful. You can simply place it at any empty corner of your bedroom – just like it is shown in this image.

7. Quirky accessories

If you enjoy quirky tastes and have a bunch of deco accessories that don’t fit in anywhere in your home, then consider displaying them on the Nelson Bench! The sleek simplicity of the bench would make a good backdrop to highlight the unique points of your décor. If you take a look at this image, you’ll see how the eclectic surroundings are grounded and even enhanced by the presence of this bench.

8. Food objects

Any designated foodie or Insta-photographer would be delighted at how the Nelson Bench provides the perfect surface for beautiful food arrangements. Just take a look at this image – the gorgeous arrangement of the kettles, the wicker tray, and the wooden bowls all look positively stunning in contrast to perforated bench surface. You can create your own ideas any way you want with the help of this bench.

9. The rule of three

The rule of three is a very commonplace idea in the interior design world. It states that three objects be placed in a complementary fashion on a flat surface. One has to be tall, one has to be short, while the remaining one has to be medium-sized to bridge the distance between the former. You can recreate this idea on your Nelson Bench – just take a look at this image as an example. The planter, the painting, and the fabric stack all fit the rule and enhance the look of the bench.

10. Art place holders

If you’re a connoisseur of art and love collecting frames, you’ll fall in love with this idea. You can place your oversized frame on top of the Nelson Bench. A tip for placement: make sure that the color of your artwork is bright, vivacious, and highly popping. This is so that the colors play in contrast with the wooden texture of the bench surface. You can also create a foreground of books and other beautiful accessories to complement the artwork.

All of these placement ideas are sure to enhance the presence and personality of your Nelson Bench, and we hope that you can find something in this list that calls to your tastes.
