I have a screenshot of a dining space with corner banquette seating running along one wall that's been in my saved folder for a few years now. I particularly like the weight it adds to the room — rather than having the furniture float in the space as it typically does, it feels anchored, considered.
The problem with this kind of seating style, though, is that it's usually a custom job, or so I thought. But then I stumbled across the Noa Corner Storage Bench Seat from Next, which has the same sense of permanence, and, what's more, conceals storage within its upholstered seats.
