If you have a small kitchen, the banquette seating trend was made for you, quite literally. And, if you’re looking for a cheat code to nail the chic bistro trend, I’d argue all you need is Next’s Chenille Stripe Slate Blue Aldridge Storage Dining Bench (£899).
This small kitchen idea is no new seating arrangement and is typically seen in cafes and restaurants. But bench seating translates beautifully into small dining spaces, and Next is proving that it can also contribute to a timeless interior style, too.
