Kitchen & Dining Room Seating: Consider a Banquette
Houzz Contributor. Hi There! I currently live in a 1920s cottage in Atlanta that I'll describe as "collected."
I got into design via Landscape Architecture, which I studied at the University of Virginia. I've been writing about design online for quite a few years over at Hatch: The Design Public Blog.

I started collecting these images a few months ago, but as I sat to write this ideabook tonight, I wasn't sure I knew exactly what a banquette was - did it have to be in a kitchen nook? A restaurant? Does it need to be built in? Did it need to have a curve to it? Free dictionary dot come says it's "an upholstered bench." I had no idea it was so simple.
I'm loving the freedom we have with eat-in kitchens and dining table seating these days. Gone are the days where you have to have six matchy-matchy chairs that are in the same style of the table. One great option is a banquette. It can fill a booth in a kitchen, tuck under a wall in a dining room, and even provide storage underneath.

This home is an open lofty space, and the banquette helps delineate an eating area.
This lovely hexagonal banquette is free standing and fits the table perfectly.

Here the upholstery and color palette tie the seemingly disparate pieces together.

This banquette exists in perfect symmetry.
A fun combination - wooden table, Craftsman built in, and 1930s aluminum cafe chairs.

I throw this picture into SO many ideabooks - I love the simple bench with the round table and Bertoia wire chairs. The only thing I'd lose is the TV.

| This space is a little bit retro and modern at the same time. |
