Sit the bench…

If you’re tired of the same old approach to decorating your eat-in space, try replacing a few chairs with a bench. This option is especially ideal for a dining area that’s high on style but low on space. A bench can be fully concealed under a dining table to maximize floor space in high traffic areas. If you’re not squeezing by your dining chairs, and you’re just looking for something unique, using bench seating is still a great option.

Above, Vastu interior designer Eric Kole proposes that a client go with a bench at their dining table to help with the flow of traffic from the client’s kitchen to their living room.

So, do you like the look?
