Banquettes
Tue, 19 Jun 2007Banquettes are so much fun for use in casual dining spaces. I just adore them and the vibe they give off. I wish I had incorporated one into my dining room but sadly, it's too late. I noticed I have many pictures saved of dining spaces with banquettes, so I thought I'd post them in the hopes that this will inspire folks out there to think about a banquette as a seating solution for an eat-in-kitchen or dining room. They are fantastic space-savers too, and get everyone cosying up together. (Mark Cutler posted about banquettes a while ago here as well so have a look.)

i agree and totally love banquettes. i too have posted on them a few times and finally, my next project i'm incorporating a banquette dining area for my clients which i'm really excited about! great post!
such wonderful finds - you two always manage to overflow with such good interiors and satisfy my glossy craving (which isn't too accessible at my location - not compared to back in the states anyway, :)

Oh yes, adore banquettes. They are de rigeur here in Morocco!
Wow, I have that same picture of the Wilson & Associates banquette on my buletin board and also pictures of Vicente Wolf's banquettes.... he is the "King of Banquettes". I am just in the proces of having a banquette made for my new dining room. It is going to be 7' long.
Will post a picture to my blog when it is all set up. http://patriciagrayinc.blogspot.com/
