10 Reasons to Love Banquettes (Not Just in the Kitchen)

Banquettes just may be the secret weapon of the decorating world. They are comfortable, space saving and useful in just about every room. Whether your space is large or small, an apartment or a house, classic or modern, there is sure to be a banquette just right for you. Check out these 10 reasons to live with (and love) banquettes.

1. Banquettes can seat a crowd with ease. A large banquette can comfortably fit big groups and looks less cluttered than individual chairs.

Tip: For very large banquettes, try using a pair of tables instead of one long table, so those seated in the middle can easily get out.

2. Banquettes exude coziness. Want to bring warmth and comfort to your living space? Try a banquette tucked in beside the fireplace. A plushly upholstered, tufted version is the ultimate in cozy furniture.

3. Banquettes make an apartment feel more polished. Whether you rent or own, if you want your apartment to feel more finished, consider bringing in a banquette. Tucked into a corner, even a freestanding banquette can look built in, lending your space a feeling of elegance and permanence.
