Garden seats have traditionally been used as a spot to sit in the garden, a garden sculpture or a catch all spot inside the home.

After a recent bathroom re-model, I came up with yet another use for this versatile home and garden decor item.

 If you need a spot to grab a towel or place some shower essentials, the garden seat is a great choice.  At this time of year, I find garden seats at Home Goods, and Target. They come in a variety of colors and finishes.  Buy more than one!

These versatile seats are often made of ceramic, can be rather heavy, although resin seats are also available in the garden sections of the big box stores.

Have fun with this great decor item, you’ll find so many places to place it around your home.  Here are just a few suggests.

1.  A spot to sit in the garden, flanked by some lovely plants.

2.  A side table near an accent chair indoors or outdoors.

3.  Pull a garden seat into the living room when entertaining, it is a great spot to set a drink or a buffet plate.

4. Use your garden seat to hold a plant, or garden statue.
