Design: Dining Nooks And Bespoke Bench Seating

Designing dedicated dining nooks creates a lovely space in the kitchen or just off of it. Using banquette seating on one side will add texture, storage and convenient seating for any occasion. Adding a tongue and groove elements to the area can be a lovely design element that adds a new but classic element to the dining space.

There are many differenmt ways of achieving a lovely dining nook. Why not try to make it a part of the kitchen island for the ultimate social area allowing everyone to always be “in the action” whether that is for entertaining, doing homework, breakfast or week dinners.

We also love designing furniture for dining nooks that sit just off the kitchen helping to achive that desirable broken-plan living space that not only looks stylish but also is incredibly functional and social. Incorporating a bespoke display dresser into the space looks beautiful but it also allows you to create a practical space for when you need to put plates, glasses and placemats on the table.

Incorporating your dining nook into your open plan living space and designing a bespoke banquette seat is also a lovely and practical way to achieve this. Think about the opholstering of the seat and how the colou can be tied into the rest of the space.
