It's my job to spot the latest trends and oftentimes in kitchens there aren't any major unexpected breakthroughs - that was, until banquette seating hit the scene.
In theory, banquette seating is no new style of dining furniture. It's a built-in bench (sometimes with storage) that is placed against the wall, and most commonly seen in cafes and restaurants. It's this bistro-inspired look that has made it more popular in our homes than ever before, as we strive for cosy, informal dining options in our kitchens.
