If you’ve got a little extra space in your kitchen or a corner you’re not quite sure what to do with, why not turn it into a breakfast nook? A cozy little nook with seating and a table might quickly become your new favorite place to settle in with a cup of coffee and your morning reading before you take on the rest of the day. You might even like it so much you want to eat more meals there than just breakfast.
While you can just toss a table and chair in the corner and call it a breakfast nook, putting a little more effort into it will make for a much cozier place to spend your time. Here are a few tips for how to set up your very own comfy breakfast nook.
The ideal spot for a breakfast nook is a well-lighted corner of the kitchen or dining room. Windows are a plus, though not essential. If you have a bay window it’ll make the perfect location for a cozy little nook. But if not, no worries – any corner will do. For example, you could cut one of the countertops off before it hits the wall to save a corner for an L-shaped bench. Or you can set up a small, round table in an open spot at one end of your kitchen.
Even if you do have nice windows, you’ll still want lights in your nook. They’ll be a big help on cloudy mornings or if you want to relax in the nook during the evening. Pendant lights hanging over the nook are a popular choice and there are plenty of different kinds to choose from to fit with your decorating style.
Many breakfast nooks make the most of a small space using benches. It takes up much less room to put a bench along the walls than to leave room to scoot chairs in and out. Plus, you can add hidden storage in the benches. If there’s enough room around the table, you could use chairs instead of or in addition to benches.
Picking out decorations for your breakfast nook should be fun. If you already like the way your kitchen is decorated, just continue that theme into your nook. Or you can use setting up the breakfast nook as an excuse to change the look of your kitchen. Try to choose easy-clean fabrics for the chairs and benches just in case you spill coffee or something.
The table you pick is going to depend on the size and shape of the space you have available. Sometimes breakfast nooks are odd shapes, so it helps if you’re working with custom furniture makers like Rustic + Modern. We’ll help you customize a round, square, or rectangular table that’s perfect for your breakfast nook.
