A banquette is a great way to add charm to a dining room or breakfast nook while also optimizing the space. They take up less room than a traditional table because the majority of the seating hugs the wall. With that seating being solid, it also allows you to squeeze in more place settings, too.

A magical combination is a window banquette. Pairing the natural light and serene view with a charming banquette is a recipe for character and style. If you have a corner of windows in a dining room or breakfast nook, a banquette helps to highlight that feature even more than a traditional table.

Here are 10 window banquette ideas that show what an inspiring match made in heaven these two features are.
