Cozy Interior Corners: Built In Banquettes

Banquette seating used to be mostly for kitchens.  Nowadays we can find them in any corner inside the home.  A custom banquette is the best way to save space and add coziness to a space.  Regardless of what interior design you prefer, there is a style for everyone, from elegant ones, upholstered in sumptuous velvet to more casual ones covered in stripes.

A banquette in the kitchen adds functionality and a multi-use area where families can not only eat, but also do homework, play games, and enjoy a morning coffee.  Below, a few cozy options that will sure inspire you.
