Banquettes can be customized to integrate seamlessly into a layout, add hidden storage and do what they’ve always done best: provide an intimate spot to gather and connect. Here are seven ideas for adding kitchen seating banquette-style. More than just a bold design treatment, the cozy construction makes for a seating arrangement that’s more conducive to intimate conversation than the traditional table-and-chairs setup, much like the corner booth at your favorite restaurant. It’s also a great choice for families, as anyone who’s ever tried to get a squirming kid to sit still in a single seat can attest. Whatever their attraction, kitchen banquettes offer an easy and versatile seating solution for many spaces that otherwise couldn’t accommodate a table. Check out this selection to whet your appetite.
