When it comes to deciding on the décor and seating arrangements for your commercial premises you will be thinking about style, but also about optimising the seating capacity. Whether you own a trendy cafe, a bustling restaurant, or a lively bar, incorporating banquette seating will transform your premises, making it more inviting, space-efficient, and visually appealing.
Space-Saving Benefits
One of the key advantages of banquette seating is its space-saving nature. Unlike traditional chairs and tables, banquettes can be custom designed to fit snugly against walls or in corners, making efficient use of every available inch. By choosing this seating style, you can maximise your seating capacity without compromising on comfort or the flow of foot traffic. Additionally, banquette seating offers flexibility in configuration, allowing you to create various seating arrangements to accommodate different group sizes.
The beauty of our banquette seating is that is can be designed and built exactly as you want it. Here are some ideas to get your creativity flowing:
Classic Elegance
For a sophisticated and timeless look, consider a classic banquette design. Opt for tufted upholstery in rich, luxurious fabrics such as velvet or leather. Match the colors to your existing decor or experiment with complementary tones to create a striking contrast. Incorporate button detailing and decorative stitching to add texture and visual interest to the seating.
Contemporary Chic
To give your space a modern and stylish vibe, go for clean lines and sleek silhouettes. Choose a streamlined banquette design with smooth, minimalist upholstery in neutral tones like grey, black, or white. You can accentuate the contemporary feel by pairing the banquette seating with tables featuring minimalist designs and materials like glass or metal.
Bohemian Charm
If you aim for a more eclectic and bohemian atmosphere, consider a mix-and-match approach with your banquette seating. Opt for vibrant and patterned fabrics that showcase a range of colours and designs. Experiment with various seating heights, shapes, and sizes to create an inviting and relaxed ambiance. Incorporate throw pillows and cushions in different textures and prints to enhance the cozy and laid-back vibe.
The design process for banquette seating involves several key steps. Begin by assessing the available space and determining the ideal seating arrangement to optimize the capacity and flow. We have plenty of clever ideas should you need some advice. If you supply the measurements of the space and the look and feel you are aspiring to, we can create CAD drawings that will show you exactly how your new seating will look in situ.
We can advise you on everything from the best solutions for your space, to the fabrics and the choice of cushion styles.

Banquette seating isn’t just limited to commercial spaces; it can also be a game-changer in domestic environments, especially in kitchens. Whether you have a small kitchen or simply want to optimize the available space, banquette seating offers a practical and stylish solution.
Maximizing Space in Kitchens:
Kitchens are often the heart of a home, and maximizing space is crucial for functionality and comfort. Banquette seating can effectively utilise corners that are often overlooked, providing additional seating without encroaching on valuable floor space. By seamlessly integrating banquette seating into your kitchen design, you can create a cozy and inviting dining area that serves as a multifunctional space for meals, family gatherings, or even a spot for children to do homework.
Storage Opportunities:
Many banquette designs incorporate built-in storage options, such as drawers or lift-up seats. These storage features offer a practical solution for stashing kitchen essentials, like extra table linens, cookbooks, or rarely used kitchen appliances, keeping them easily accessible yet out of sight.
Versatile Seating Arrangements
Banquette seating can be customized to fit your specific kitchen layout and design preferences. Whether you prefer a single long bench or a combination of benches and freestanding chairs, you have the flexibility to create seating arrangements that accommodate both intimate family meals and larger gatherings.
Breakfast Nook: Transform a sunny corner of your kitchen into a cozy breakfast nook. Opt for a built-in banquette along one or two walls, complemented by a table and freestanding chairs on the other side. Choose cheerful and durable fabrics for the upholstery, and add comfortable cushions for extra coziness. This setup is perfect for starting your day with a cup of coffee or enjoying casual meals with family.
Open-Plan Integration: If your kitchen is part of an open-plan living space, you can seamlessly integrate banquette seating as a defining element. Consider an L-shaped banquette that transitions from the kitchen area to a nearby wall. Choose upholstery that complements your overall interior design scheme and use decorative pillows to add pops of colour and personality.
Corner Seating: When space is limited, a corner banquette can be a smart solution. Opt for a compact yet cozy setup with a corner bench and a small table. This design makes the most of tight corners and offers an intimate dining experience for smaller households or couples.
