I searched on both terms when looking for one for our dining room. Settee's IMO tend to look more living room-ish while banquettes seem to have simpler lines.

Hi. I'd like to find some comfortable but affordable banquette-type seats to use in our dining room. We have a long rectangular table. I've searched "banquettes" and not found a ton of options. Would a "settee" work just as well? Examples:
