Kitchen bench seating: 12 modern ideas

Posted on 24th June 2023

Do you love hosting? Then you need a proper set-up for entertaining at home, with plenty of space for eating, dining, and seating. Enter: kitchen benches – ideal for both big get-togethers and intimate dinners.

Apart from adding interest to your kitchen or dining room, bench seating also provides extra spots for those times when you invite your friends and family over for a drink or a bite.

These solutions are available in many sizes, so you can include one in your scheme no matter the size of your space. Plus, there is an array of styles, materials, and colourways to choose from.

The latest designs – and some of my favourites – are crafted from oak and acacia wood and can instantly bring a touch of modern-rustic style into your scheme. Whether you opt for a timeless piece or a bold design embellished with faux leather, you are all set to boost the practicality factor of your dining set-up.

Are you colour confident? Then, you’ll love contemporary bench designs upholstered in tactile materials, such as vibrant velvet. And, if you’re more into industrial style, I’ve got plenty of sturdy solutions ready to catch your eye.
