Banquette seating is an excellent solution for homes, and kitchens are undoubtedly the most popular place to situate built-in seating. Homeowners are now presented with an array of options when it comes to incorporating a dining bench or booth seating into their kitchen, however a bespoke piece of furniture remains the height of sophistication.

Here are the key reasons why bespoke fitted kitchen seating can add value to your home:

Space Optimisation

Banquette seating invariably saves space in kitchens, often planned and fitted around kitchen renovations to tie in with the wider design.

Throughout the number of residential projects we’ve worked on, the kitchen banquette seating we have made has almost always been designed with space optimisation in mind. Constructed to slot perfectly against a wall, bay windows, corners or other little nooks, banquettes improve the kitchen layout to maximise room in the central hub of a home.

Small kitchens can benefit the most from banquette seating, offering a fantastic space saving solution that can allow for a larger group of guests. The picture above of a kitchen corner bench seating for a home in London is a perfect demonstration how small kitchen banquette seating is functional, offering coziness without impeding on room space.

Storage Opportunity

We are often asked to quote for a kitchen banquette with storage and it makes total sense why. The base of a banquette bench offers an opportunity for extra storage of kitchen items and gadgets that take up a lot of space.

However, it’s not only kitchen items that we’re hiding in banquette storage. Kitchen banquette seating is also the perfect place to discreetly enclose technology such as speakers and Wi-Fi routers.

When it comes to designing kitchen bench seating with storage, we have many practical solutions to choose from, with both hinged or lift-off options available.

Durability

Kitchen booth seating and built-in banquettes often have a larger life span than regular dining chairs because it isn’t furniture that is constantly being moved around. Banquette seating in the kitchen is a good investment because it is built to last and endure heavy use in a high traffic area of the home.

To maximise your investment in bespoke kitchen furniture, we recommend practical choices such as adding extra padding to make the seating as comfortable as possible, since a kitchen banquette will see a lot of entertaining in its lifetime.

When it comes to upholstery covers, we recommend choosing wisely and opting for fabric that can easily wipe clean should any mess be made. An additional option that is unique to Atlas Contract Furniture is our puncture resistant interliner, a two-layer system between the foam and upholstery cover that reduces point indentation on the cover. Being situated in a room with sharp objects, kitchen banquette seating could benefit from this addition.

Summary

In summary, banquette seating is not only a beautiful design feature in a kitchen, but a practical one that can add more value to your home.
