Whether you already have a kitchen nook or want to create one, bench seating can be the perfect addition! Benches are great if you have a small space near the kitchen window and want to create an inviting spot to enjoy food and drinks. These ideas can help you incorporate bench seating into your kitchen nook:
Only Use Benches
If you really love bench seating, then you can stick to this style for all your kitchen nook seating! You can create an L-shape with two benches, providing plenty of seating for you, your family, and any friends that might stop by for breakfast, a cup of coffee, or a snack.
Combine Benches and Other Seating Options
You can use benches and other types of seating if you prefer more options for your kitchen nook. You can still do the L-shape with two benches or stick to one bench and add a couple of traditional chairs on the open side of the table.
Choose a Bench with Storage
Benches can provide more than just seating—they can also provide extra storage! You can find benches that offer storage space under the seats. Store pots and pans, tablecloths, silverware, or any other kitchen items in your benches to keep your kitchen free from clutter and looking fabulous.
Create a Booth
You can create a more restaurant-style seating arrangement in your kitchen nook by turning it into a booth. Place two benches across from each other with a table in-between and you’ll have a cool booth area where you and your family can enjoy meals, snacks, and drinks.
