1. Consider the shape: A banquette can be L-shaped or U-shaped, and this can be determined by the available space and the shape of the room. A U-shaped banquette can create a cozy and intimate seating area.
2. Choose the material: Banquettes can be upholstered in a variety of materials, including leather, vinyl, or fabric, depending on the style and feel you want to achieve.
3. Add cushions and pillows: Cushions and pillows can add to the comfort level of the banquette and can also be a way to add color, texture, and pattern to the space.
4. Mix and match: A mix of benches and chairs can create a fun and eclectic look in a modern kitchen design, and can also provide more flexibility in seating options.
5. Consider the lighting: A banquette can be a great place to enjoy a meal or to work on a laptop, so lighting is important. Pendant lights or a chandelier can create a stylish focal point over the table.
6. Incorporate storage: Banquettes can be designed with storage in the base or beneath the seating, providing a convenient place to store items like serving dishes or linens.
7. Choose the right table: The type and size of the table you choose for your banquette seating can make a big difference in the look and feel of the space. Consider a modern glass or marble top table to complement the clean lines of the design.
