When it comes to kitchen renovations, storage and seating are two primary considerations for your renovation design. Adding a kitchen banquette is an attractive and cozy way to get both.

Maximize natural light
Banquettes are the perfect way to make the most of natural light in your kitchen, by creating a comfortable seating area under big windows. This bright space combines a chunky table with minimalist bench seating to amplify the effect of the light streaming into the kitchen.

Retro upholstery
Your kitchen banquette can define your kitchen’s style. This example has a retro-inspired corner bench that adds colour and personality to an otherwise monochromatic space.

Country-inspired space saver
Even in kitchens that are tight on space, a banquette provides efficient seating. This version uses an upholstered cushion over the rounded bench, in a pattern that matches the intricate wallpaper in the kitchen.

Vintage tufts with storage
The tufted upholstery on this bright banquette pairs nicely with the pair of vintage chairs. The homeowner took full advantage of the corner windows to create a bright nook area that can easily seat eight people. Storage within the bench makes the space as functional as it is beautiful.

Accent colours and drawers
The bench in this banquette makes use of drawers to add storage to the eating area. We love the accent colours the homeowner added, with pops of orange to contrast the muted teal cushions.
