The kitchen is the heart of any home. It’s where we spend most of our time, it’s a place to create, and it’s the place where we nourish ourselves. That being said, kitchens have come a long way from their humble beginnings as a small room with a stove and sink. They’re now a space that should reflect your personality and style. In this guide, we’ll look at 9 different ways to add an extra layer of personality to your kitchen booth ideas. Along the way, we’ll cover everything from paint colours and materials to furniture and storage solutions for your kitchen.
Style With A Kitchen Island
When you are remodelling a kitchen or building a new one (if money is not an issue), take your kitchen booth as the central point of your design. Kitchen islands are the perfect place to create a break area while adding character and style to your home.
The kitchen island is a popular trend that is also practical as the person cooking will be able to interact with whoever is sitting at the kitchen booth. It makes it perfect for those dinner parties or keeping track of your children to see if they are eating their lunch or dinner. Also with the additional worktop space, there is the extra surface area on the table.
Go for a Circular Booth
One of the most popular kitchen booths recently are circular booths. They’re not only perfect for tight spaces, but they also make your kitchen feel more like a gathering space. They’re also ideal if you have a small kitchen and want to maximize the available space.
Circular booths in kitchens often have either a table that fits in the centre or a breakfast bar with seating on one side of the booth. They can be made from any combination of products and materials like wood, metal, or even plastic depending on what you’re looking for. You can also use these types of designs for an island where it’s just one big circle instead of having a table down in the middle.
Choose an L-shaped Design
One of the more popular kitchen booth designs, an L-shaped design essentially has two sides. One side houses a kitchen peninsula, with the other side being either a breakfast bar or a dining area. These are often more spacious than your average booth and can host large gatherings for family dinners or parties.
If you’re looking for a cosy feel, choose a U-shaped design instead of an L-shaped one. This offers the same benefits as an L-shaped design but with a cosy feel. You may also want to include built-in seating on one end of the wall rather than just having chairs around it to feel especially cosy and inviting!
Carefully Pick Your Materials
The first step to creating a colourful and custom kitchen booth is to carefully pick the right fabric and materials. You have a range of options, so it’s important that you take the time to choose wisely.
For instance, you might be drawn to a natural wood look or a more modern metallic finish. Both of these are completely understandable choices, but it’s important to think about how each material will affect your kitchen booth in the long run. For example, metal will be easier to clean, but wood will last longer and create a more cosy feel for your kitchen so order the right materials for your booth.
Fit In A Small Area
Small kitchen ideas are just as good an option as bigger ones. The size of a small kitchen table booth could easily fit up to four people. Before starting, really think about all your space so you aren’t cramped. On average, you should knee space height between 61-73cm for men and women and a minimum of a 60cm place setting per person.
If you’re really tight on space but need something other than your dining room table for mealtimes, try an extendable dining table that includes an extension leaf that easily slides out from the side when needed.
Create A Zone With Paint
Instead of just slapping a backrest in the design, why not add some fun? Paint one on and see how it looks! Not only does this look great, but it will add visual appeal, and effectively make your booth different from the other areas of your kitchen. This is a perfect idea if you want to keep the cooking area and dining area separate. Also as there would be no backrest, make sure you get a selection of cushions in the area for added comfort and variety to the seating.
Create Storage Spaces
One of the best ways to add personality to your kitchen is to create unique storage spaces. You can create unique storage spaces by adding storage under the booth seating. When you start customizing your kitchen booth with things like a seating storage unit it will give you some much-needed storage space. And trust us — as your home fills up with more and more items over time, you’re going to be glad you have that extra storage space in your kitchen booth. It’s all about the finer details of the extra features in the kitchen.
Go For A Retro Design
One of the best ways to add personality to your kitchen booth is with the addition of a retro design. The 1950s-1960s were all about families, cooking and cleanliness, which are three of the most important elements in any kitchen. This is why retro kitchens are so popular. With this design, you can add vintage flair by using bright colours and tiled backsplashes. For seating, try using the old-fashioned bench seating with quality leather cushions that have been around since those times.
Establish A Decorative Area
Another thing you can do is establish a decorative area. This could include painting the wall behind the booth with chalkboard paint or adding interesting pieces of art on the shelves above it. This way, you won’t have to worry about adding too many decorations as they’ll all be centralized around one specific area of the kitchen.
