Banquette seating and booth seating are often confused as being the same thing given that they are both statement furniture. While the terms are interchangeable, there are differences between these two seating styles.
The difference between banquette seating and booth seating comes down to how the furniture is arranged. Banquette seating is a long bench, typically built against a wall, providing an open straight seat. Booth seating configures banquette benches together to create an enclosed space.
Banquette seating offers a combination of functionality, style and space optimisation. The design of a banquette seat allows for greater seating flexibility, as more people can sit along the bench if needed.
Banquette seats are fully adaptable, placed in long stretches, curved sections around corners, or even used in the centre of a room to create distinct areas.
Banquette seating can be made either built-in or freestanding, meaning that it can also be a modular banquette and a piece of furniture that can be rearranged in a room if needed.

Similarly to banquette seating, booth seating can also be made either built-in or freestanding.
