Tight on dining space? Create a banquette.
Banquettes are making a HUGE comeback and rightly so. Its like a restaurant booth in your home. Buyers love them.
Banquettes solve several space dilemmas and can accent some of your kitchens best features.
A bay window, picture window, or just about any window in the kitchen is a perfect spot to create a window seat underneath. Add a piano hinge on the lid and you’ve created additional storage. If your floor air vent is an issue create airflow with an openwork grid panel.

That's a mirror behind the cute striped bench. You can achieve a similar look.
Here's Cost Plus World Market's version.
If the upholstered look scares you with kids, try a wood bench and washable seat cushion for easy clean up.
Buyers love homes that help them envision a "lifestyle". Create a fun one in your dining space with a new spin on banquette seating.
