Kitchen and Dining Room Booth Seating: Cosy and Space Saving

Booth seating for dining room

Booth seating in a dining room is an efficient and stylish way to utilise space. You can design your dining booth to fit the room shape, using curves or straight lines. Storage can be incorporated within the seat, ideal for smaller dining rooms or when a room has multiple uses. Match the seating upholstery to your interior scheme. Choosing an accent colour or contrasting shade can help to define this area as your dining zone.

If you have a large picture window or patio doors in your dining room, then installing booth seating can help to open up the room. This can be particularly useful for multiuse rooms, where a home office, fitness or play area also features. Store occasional items or festive dining room accessories within the dining booth by adding storage.

Your choice of booth seating needs to reflect how the room will be mostly used. If you have a family, your focus might be on function and form. However, if you regularly entertain guests, then you might prefer a more luxurious style and fabric cover.

Booth seating for kitchen

Kitchens are often considered the heart of the home. If you have a kitchen-diner, then this is likely to be where you will spend time with your partner or family on a daily basis. When you don’t have a separate dining room, a kitchen-diner can become the social centre of a home. It’s where you sit together after a busy day to eat or catch up and cook while being part of the hustle and bustle.

When it comes to storage space, there’s never enough room in a kitchen. By adding booth seating, you can store those extra utensils and kitchen gadgets that you only need a few times a year. This allows you to free up precious cabinet space for your daily kitchen items.

Booth seating in a kitchen can have many purposes, but the overall aim should be comfort and practicality. Custom-designed seating can transform an awkward kitchen corner into a useful cosy nook. This style of seating can be designed as a statement piece or to blend in seamlessly with the surroundings. Booth seating in the kitchen can be very versatile, allowing you to easily upscale with cushions for an evening look when entertaining.

Booth seating with storage

Nowadays, space comes at a premium, especially within modern houses and apartments across our towns and cities. Storage solutions are becoming increasingly innovative to maximise living areas within the home. Whether in the kitchen or dining room, ingenious storage ideas can help to hide away clutter and enhance aesthetics at the same time.

If you have a young family or you live in a compact home, then a hidden storage space is a versatile space-saving solution. You can store a wide range of items beneath the seat that you don’t need on an everyday basis.

As an example, Craftwood was approached to design booth seating for our client’s new kitchen. Initially, we were asked to design L-shaped banquette seating. However, when our team visited our client’s London home, it was agreed that a straight run with modern clean lines offered a better solution. As an extra practical touch, we provided a discreet and useful storage area beneath the luxurious, removable seat pads. Read more…

Bespoke booth seating

Booth seating enables you to bring the look and feel of restaurant style seating into your home, while solving your storage problem. Before you approach your designer to discuss your preferred style of seating, consider how you will use the space.

Families often benefit from durable or easy-clean fabric covers, which will help you to retain the vibrancy and condition of your upholstery. You might also prefer soft curves and lines to allow little ones to climb up and down.

If you regularly entertain guests, then your focus might be on aesthetics. Compare different styles of seating and fabrics. Consider your current interior scheme and colour palette, but also forward-plan for future decorative changes. There are a range of seating styles to choose from, including booth seating, bench seating and banquette seating.
