Every good home design idea starts with a need, want and a vision.

First, create a vision board or mood board as it’s often called.

Our breakfast room is small, but I have always felt that there is wasted space that could be used for much needed storage.

And here is the most recent look, before we built the breakfast room banquette and added simple changes to the wall.

MATERIALS LIST FOR THE BREAKFAST ROOM BANQUETTE:

- Plywood - Brass pin hinges - Rafter Ties - Primer - Paint

BUILDING THE BANQUETTE

Cut three pieces of the plywood sheet into 16″ by 48″ pieces. Then take one of those 16″ x 48″pieces and then cut two 18″ pieces out of it.

ADDING FINISHING TOUCHES TO A BREAKFAST ROOM BANQUETTE

This gives it that high end custom look of board and batten finishing. We would highly recommend not skipping this step!

I should mention that I ordered the cushion before we built the breakfast room banquette due to production and shipping lag times. Yes…it fits perfectly and I LOVE it!

THE COMPLETED BREAKFAST ROOM WITH THE BANQUETTE

Here’s a look at the breakfast room banquette before we put the table and chairs back in place. We made this banquette moveable, should we ever want to use it elsewhere!

Woo hoo…here we go with a boatload of after shots and I’m really thrilled with the look!

The banquette was designed to be cozy seating for two!
