Family Friendly Friday – Breakfast Room Banquettes

Today I wanted show you some great Banquette ideas for your Breakfast Room!

Curve appeal – love this curved wall behind the banquette area. Quick tip for a more Family Friendly option place boxes with color on shelves to house papers and magazines. Add cookbooks and photos of family up top!

Or opt for a half wall instead allows more natural light in…

Have a simple upholstered back to give a soft and luxurious feel…. durable fabrics like vinyl and indoor/outdoor fabrics will make it more kid-friendly

Take advantage of a window seat and create a banquette area

For a more formal area use a very clean gallery effect, gives it dining room appeal

Diner style with a booth feel but give it a little glam to bring it to life..

    Hi Karen,
    Lisa Mende has highly, let’s say more than highly, recommended I follow you and your advice. I took one look and knew you were my Girl! I write a blog, who doesn’t these days.
    Lisa is a doll and is giving me all sorts of points on how to approach a small design help “business” and you were number ONE!
    I plan on ordering your on-line book and go from there.
    Oh, I have that Ballard Chandelier…..Love it! It’s over our coffee table in the center of our Great Room. I added some “bling” with crystal beads. FUN!
    Patty

Imagine walking into your living room to find your toddler covered in marker along with your furniture! My daughter's "Marker Art" was a defining moment. It was then that I reinvented my business to find the very best family-friendly furnishings and solutions for my client's homes.

My blog shares the very best of what I have learned about family-friendly design these past 18 years.
