Banquettes

Posted on Tue, 19 Jun 2007 by KiM

Banquettes 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 cozying 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, 🙂

i just submitted your blog to sk-rt.com as one of my favorite reads, hope it brings you more happy readers like me, cheers!

Great pics Kim. Lots of good ideas to steal here!

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/
