Merriam-Webster defines "banquette" as a built-in usually upholstered bench along a wall. I've always been fond of banquettes in dining areas! When I was a youngster (wink! wink!), my aunt and uncle had a royal blue vinyl banquette in their kitchen that I thought was really cool because it made me feel as though I was eating in a restaurant! I thought, gee what a great way to eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner everyday! Of course, that has been some time ago and many things have changed, but my fondness of banquettes has increased exponentially! The styles run the gamut from casual to formal and country to very elegant. Whatever your taste and style, you are certain to find a design to suit your aesthetic.
Simply beautiful upholstery! I love the formality of this area with the buit-in bookshelves, lovely chandelier, and striking table!
I'm not certain I would have paired this particular table with this banquette, however I truly can appreciate the look of this design. It's got this rustic slash elegant French vibe going on that I think works very well!
This is more or less a refined, petite sofa positioned against the wall to achieve the same affect as a banquette. A great idea!
Wonderful tufting on this banquette makes it the standout in this room!
What a wonderful way to use the niche in this space by designing a banquette to fit perfectly! I love the addition of the pillows for a casual comfortable experience!
Another fantastic way to utilize a niche! I love the arrangement of photos and the built-in shelving! The table with the rod iron base and chairs are amazing!
I have always loved this banquette! Placing it on the stair wall creates such a random, beautiful place to enjoy a meal and entertain girlfriends.
Again, lovely settee's used as banquettes! This space with the windows is wonderful!
The upholstered back definitely elevates this banquette to a higher level! This is really just a very pretty area! The color palette is soothing and the furnishings of choice work so well together!
Simple, smart, and pretty!
Make it a great day!
