Breakfast Nooks To Brighten Your Day

Posted by Renovator Mate on 01 Oct 2014

A cozy breakfast nook is proof that when it comes to smart design, bigger isn't always better. These charming kitchen nooks are usually only large enough to fit a small table or bistro set. And yet, they can actually help you maximize space by turning an awkward alcove or corner into an intimate setting perfect for sharing a casual meal. Plus, there's just something so endearing about the thought of having a cup of coffee in a quiet area tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the kitchen. 

Don't have a built-in breakfast nook? Try making one yourself by adding a small table to a sunny corner that doesn't get a lot of use. For extra seating, trade in traditional kitchen chairs for a cushioned bench or love seat. Just remember to keep things simple. It doesn't take much to make a breakfast nook feel warm and inviting -- a touch of color and plenty of natural light ought to do the trick.

Need more inspiration? Here are some breakfast nooks that are both comfortable and efficient, to inspire you to create a snug one of your own.
