If you have a small couch-seater, you can integrate that into your dining room.

If you have a corner where two walls meet, installing a corner bench for the dining table at this spot is the best idea. That is because, otherwise, the corner usually goes unused. Utilising the corner space is even more important if you have a space crunch. Check the above image to see how the designers have used the corner space to add two couch-style benches. They have completely skipped the chairs because this gives ample seating space. Also the wall behind provides a natural back-rest.

If you don’t get the exact shade of dining table wood when you pick the bench, do not worry. Black is a neutral colour and goes with most kinds of décor and colour. You can pick a simple black bench for the dining table and try to match it with the already present table and chairs. Sometimes, adding cushions that match the rest of the dining room décor to the table will instantly make it match the settings. Give this trick a try.

Sometimes, mixing and matching are all it takes to make a look work. When you look at this bench for the dining table, it does not match the table, the chairs, or the cushions at first glance. However, when you take a second look, you will see that this look is intentional. The bench is placed farther away from the dining table. However, when there are extra guests, the bench can easily be pulled towards the table.
There is something charming about using different colours, textures, and designs in a room. It gives the room a more homely feel, which is a great look too. So, even if you have a bench that you feel doesn’t match the dining area, try making it work by adding or removing certain elements from the space.
If there is one thing that could be called a slight disadvantage of benches, it is the lack of a backrest. Sitting erect on a bench for a long time can give some people back aches. So the perfect solution for this is picking a bench for the dining table with the back. This way, the bench will accommodate more people, and the backrest will keep them comfortable. The above is a beautiful wood bench with a solid backrest. This is especially useful for families that spend longer time on the dining table, or use it for other purposes such as studying or reading, as the bench with a backrest is more suitable.
An island is a free-standing table or surface in the kitchen that also serves as the dining table during meal times. Many families that don't have the space to have a separate dining area choose to have an island table because it's more convenient. In this kitchen, the designer has a fixed island table, and benches on both sides act as seaters.
This is really smart because when the island is being used for prepping food, the benches can quickly be moved to one side. Try installing such an island-themed bench for the dining table if you have space constraints too.

A cushioned bench for dining tables can be more comfortable
