"If you're having trouble fitting all of your friends around the table, Crin said to consider installing banquette seating. "Manufacturing a banquette will not only save space, but done right, will add at least one extra seat at the table, making this dining nook more inviting towards social gatherings," Crin told Tasting Table. Banquettes require less space than traditional dining chairs, because they don't require room for the chair to be pulled out."
"But, even when foodies aren't hosting, Crin explained that banquette seating serves double-duty by providing additional storage: "Under the seat, the space can be used to store larger, seasonal items like blankets, decorative pillows, aprons and even bottles or lunch boxes." Depending on the designer's choice, this might look like top-opening chests concealed beneath the cushions, or front-opening cabinets. Banquette seating also provides an opportunity to make a big style statement in your small kitchen."
Banquette seating maximizes functionality in small eat-in kitchens by saving floor space and adding at least one extra seat without requiring room to pull chairs out. Banquettes can be placed against walls and in corners to use otherwise unused space. Under-seat space can store larger, seasonal items such as blankets, decorative pillows, aprons, bottles, or lunch boxes, implemented as top-opening chests or front-opening cabinets. Upholstery allows a bold, colored or textured statement, but choosing high-performance fabric ensures durability and easier stain removal. Proper installation should prioritize seamless incorporation and comfortable dining.
