You could built something like this behind the door opening where your current bench is. This provides storage and seating.
Q
I like this banquette/bench idea because it is an upholstery piece, and not built in.
These metal chairs could look fabulous with 2 upholstered chairs around the table
Having 2 out of the 4 chairs upholstered. Then possibly the other two a metal or wood?
Ped. table with a modern twist
Love the idea of having either the table or a couple of the chairs a painted color
The idea of having a small sectional/banquette with a small round table
