When I imagined the interior design feature that would fully capture my heart, I didn't think it would be a bench. But banquette seating, as it's more fashionably known as, has officially made it to the top of my list for things going in my dream kitchen - let's hope that day comes soon.
Banquette seating is a dining trend I've seen appear in the most stylish kitchens when searching for inspiration, but often these made-to-measure styles come with a very high price tag. Lucy William's striped upholstered banquette, designed by The House Upstairs, has been a source of desire for quite some time now, but as my budget isn't quite the same, I knew I had to get creative in sourcing affordable alternatives.
