Design expert Billy Cotton notes that corner booth dining sets not only add a unique look to your kitchen but also save room as they slot nicely into the corner of a space. Corner booth dining sets are made in various materials with some crafted out of solid or manufactured wood for durability and strength. You will also find mixed-media style corner booth dining sets that feature metal or stainless steel table or bench bases with upholstered seating. It could be anything from faux leather or a polyester blend to something super easy to clean like polyurethane. The upholstery could be filled with foam or stuffing to add additional ease and comfort to the corner booth dining set seating.
Design:
Corner booth dining sets work well for larger families as they're designed to easily accommodate large groups of people sharing a meal, explains Frances Merrill, founder of Reath Design Studio. Corner booth dining sets can be made in anything from a 3-piece up to a 5-piece set depending on any additional chairs or benches. A lot of sets include a trestle or picnic-style table as it accommodates L-shaped connected benches that snuggly wrap around the table to create booth seating. Most tables are rectangular or square in shape with some more traditional designs with four tapered legs. Some can be more uniquely designed, like with a cool Y-shaped base that still allows for wrap-around bench seating. You'll find a lot of clean-lined silhouettes with some corner booth dining sets containing upholstered seats to allow for a comfy spot to sit for extended periods of time.
Style:
Interior designer Andre Mellone suggests looking for corner booth dining sets that will fit in with your kitchen decor seamlessly and fully complement its style. You'll find corner booth dining sets in a variety of styles including mid-century modern with faux leather upholstery and button-tufting. There are some corner booth dining sets with a more rustic farmhouse flair that are crafted out of solid wood with a trestle-style base and intricate carvings. There are also more contemporary options featuring a sleek black rectangular table on four legs with a suede L-shaped bench with diamond tufting. You could also create an everyday breakfast nook with a corner booth dining set crafted out of oak wood with high back stain-resistant cushions.
Additional features:
Dan Fink recommends looking at corner booth dining sets if you're hoping to simplify your kitchen space and create an easy flow. You may find some corner booth dining sets with extension leaves to create more room on the table if needed. If having enough seating is an issue, there are also some sets that come with extra chairs or a matching bench that can create seating for up to 10 people. Some corner booth dining sets come with L-shaped corner benches that are completely portable and are able to split apart to create different configurations that may also contain some additional storage space. Some of the upholstered or manufactured wood corner booth dining sets might also be stain and scratch-resistant for easy cleanup and maintenance.
