Eye Candy: 6 Fresh Kitchen Banquettes

by on May 27, 2011

Two chairs are put around the table.

I’ve never been terribly fond of kitchen banquettes, but sometimes they are the best way to use space efficiently. It also helps if they’re ‘done’ well. Here are six examples with a fresh, modern appeal that might have you re-thinking the banquette as well.

The banquette pictured above does its duty splendidly without overpowering the room.

The dark flooring coupled with the white banquette and fresh green upholstery strikes a perfect note in this kitchen.

   

A little bit modern, a little bit traditional, this banquette could be at home just about anywhere.  (The use of stools is a good choice in dealing with the skimpy path between table and counter.)

This is another entry that bridges the traditional/modern divide. (LOVE the pendant.)

Don’t want a built-in? An upholstered bench gives the look of a banquette without the commitment. We like that!

This banquette is like a punctuation to the alley kitchen it occupies. (That spunky rug doesn’t hurt either!)
