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

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!
