Learn About Kitchen Seating
How to include modern kitchen seating in your new kitchen design.
Choosing a new kitchen is an exciting time; it enables you to evaluate your current lifestyle needs and explore kitchen features, such as seating and how it will benefit the entire household and when entertaining guests. You can discuss your ideas with our experienced and professional kitchen builders at the kitchen planning stage. They will assist you in re-imaging the space whilst looking at potential building works to create more seating options, such as knocking through internal and external walls. At the kitchen design quote stage, there will be a chance to explore seating areas where a sofa, corner bench or window seating may work well and create a zone to work, rest and play! There are few restrictions to what the modern kitchen can offer regarding additional seating; you can even work on different levels by moving downstairs to create a living room and kitchen combined.
Speaking to a kitchen planner will benefit your ideas by providing a realistic plan.
Discussing your plans with a kitchen planner is a great way to rethink your family's needs and requirements, especially if you are a busy household that enjoys entertaining regularly. Choosing a custom kitchen enables you to maximise space and benefit from extra seating; you can plan family zones downstairs with broken-plan living areas, ideally for social gatherings and a zone to relax and eat together. Taking through your ideas with a planner about your new kitchen supply and fit will also allow you to consider other seating options, such as seating bays and day rooms, reminiscent of a cosy snug. Ideal for sofas and small tables, where people can unwind and socialise whilst food is cooking. You can also look at window seating, possibly adding a bench that could work well as a breakfast table or just another zone to relax and enjoy.
Why not consider a kitchen island or breakfast bar?
Contemporary kitchen or traditional shaker style? It makes no difference; seating is a fundamental feature of any kitchen design, and creating a multi-use zone for work and play is the key to a well-performing kitchen for family and fends to enjoy. Seating around a kitchen island is an ideal kitchen addition; people naturally gravitate to the central hub of activity, which is excellent for socialising, doing homework and interacting with the family at any time of the day or night. You can also add seating to one end of the island; this makes the perfect breakfast bar and an ideal place for informal eating. A kitchen planner can help you imagine the potential and importance of strategically placed seating, even if you have limited space; the suitable seating in the correct area will allow the perfect fluidity, balance and flow of your kitchen and the aesthetics.
