My husband, the woodworker, is finishing our basement. He recently put in a full bath and ran some of the plumbing on the outside of the wall. There is one of the poles near there too. In order to hide the plumbing, he will build a half oval shaped banquette incorporating the pole. The back will be slightly high and upholstered. I plan on upholstering the back seat like a padded headboard. For the seat because of people scooting in and out, how do you suggest I make the seat cushions somehow attaching them to the banquette? I've been looking at a lot of photos on Houzz and they look like they just plopped a cushion on the seat which I don't think is very practical.
If your talking about loose cushions, I use elastic straps with the hook end attached to the elastic coming out of the seam or center of the boxing. The closed end ( to hook to ) is permanatly attached to the wood on the back. You can flip the cushions. I have used this on furniture with slippery fabric works good.
