It seats more people than chairs along the same length, tucks under the table when the room needs to breathe, and its warm grain softens the hard surfaces that dominate most kitchens. The key to styling one well is to treat it as part of the kitchen rather than a stray piece of dining furniture. That means matching its length to the table, leaving enough clearance for the walkways that run between the island, the hob and the sink, and choosing an oak tone that sits comfortably beside your cabinetry and flooring. In this guide we look at where to place a bench in an open plan layout, how to pair it with tables, chairs and bar stools, which oak finishes suit different kitchen colours, and how to keep a bench looking considered rather than an afterthought in a busy family space."}
