A corner bench is a clever way of providing more seating where space is tight in a kitchen-diner. The owners had this bench made to measure and had it painted to match their kitchen units.

Underseat storage built into the bespoke bench is a clever use of space, creating an extra place to store away bulky mixing bowls and serveware.
