Banquette Seating

At Searle & Taylor we have designed numerous projects that feature on-trend banquette seating in kitchens, dining areas and other rooms in the home. Banquette seating is usually upholstered seating that is designed to fit perfectly in the specific space either in a bench-style fixed against a straight wall, in an L-shape, or against a specially created back panel. It can also be designed in a curve for corner recesses, or beneath a bay window. Dependent on the design, banquette seating can also be built with additional storage beneath the seat, opening upwards using a piano hinge, with pull-out drawers, or with open shelving.

Taking inspiration from restaurant design, the use of banquette seating can be a very space-efficient way to include an informal dining area in a kitchen or breakfast room with a made to measure table to complement. It can come in a range of styles, too. Shaker banquette seating will be set against beadboard or tongue and groove panelling that can be painted or left in its natural form. Alternatively, it can be in a more contemporary style to suit the architecture of your home. Because it has to fit perfectly within the space, banquette seating is always designed and made bespoke.
