Get Table Seating - In this kitchen a working island is paired with a built-in banquette, making an attractive, handy spot for dining. This would work equally well with a rectangular island.

Kitchen Dining - Whether their space is large or small, most clients request an eat-in area in their new kitchen. Usually, this will be secondary to their formal dining room — just someplace to sit for a bite to eat. This, too, is a request that will depend on square footage. Double dining. For those clients lucky enough to have an island, many still request additional kitchen table seating, even if they have a formal dining room.

Construct a banquette. We love open-concept kitchens as well as large islands, but we also love the idea of bringing the dining table back to the kitchen. How can we have it all? One way is to use the island as the back of a banquette. Here, the banquette is built in as part of the island, with the island and banquette back upholstered in a lovely blue floral.

Get into the zone - Extra big rugs are also ideal for breaking up a large open-plan space like this one. In a room that functions as a living, dining and even kitchen space, a rug can mark out each area. Before you buy, make sure the rug for the dining area will be large enough for the chairs to be pulled back and still remain on the rug. This means if you have wood floors, they will be protected from scratches caused by the chairs.

The homeowners decided to stay put, rather than sell, and invest in a major reworking of the space. The main floor was gutted and walls were removed to create a large open kitchen and dining area. “This new design fit more usable living space into the same amount of square footage,” says designer Dena Labbaf.
