2. Niche solution. Here’s another straight banquette in a room that people walk through. The bench allows the table to be placed closer to the wall, providing more space for people to walk between rooms. It also efficiently uses the niche between the living room and kitchen, which might otherwise be wasted. This banquette gains a more polished look thanks to wainscoting halfway up the wall, which echoes the wall treatment in the San Francisco home’s formal dining room and its staircase. The wainscoting makes a natural back for the bench, which, with the table and chairs as partners, forms a nice spot for casual everyday dining.Nook wall paint: Stonington Gray HC-170, Benjamin MooreSee more of this home
Create a pinch point to home in on a sightline. This idea works for gardens of nearly any size and isn’t dependent on having a stunning vista. By narrowing the view, you can more clearly direct a viewer’s gaze just where you want it and emphasize a focal point. Place a pair of midsize structural evergreen plants — like clipped boxwoods, pittosporum or privet — on either side of a sightline. You can do the same with walls, hedges or fences. In this Mediterranean-style garden, two mature boxwoods framing the path help define the sightline to the cafe table set on the terrace.Find a landscape designer on Houzz
2. The Sink Center The sink center should be between the refrigerator and the range center, or cooking area, for maximum efficiency. Since sinks get the most use and traffic of any spot in the kitchen, centrally located sinks and dishwashers work best. Plan to have the most uncluttered countertop space in the sink center. The area in and around sinks is used for food-preparation tasks involving cleaning and cutting, as well as washing and cleaning up after meals. Place trash and recycling containers strategically so that tidy disposal happens effortlessly.Storage at sink centers includes places for everyday flatware, dishes and glassware, as well as activities involving waste management, dishtowel placement and storage, cleaning supplies, polishing and drying.
