Banquette seating has many advantages making it a popular choice in modern kitchen design;

Space Efficiency

Banquette seating typically hugs the walls, making efficient use of space in smaller dining areas. It can accommodate more people than chairs because it utilises corners and can extend along walls.

Comfort

Often padded and upholstered, banquettes can provide a more comfortable seating option compared to traditional chairs, especially for longer meals or gatherings.

Versatility in Design

Banquettes can be customised to fit the style and décor of the home. The design options are endless in terms of shape, size and upholstery.
