Breakfast nooks are great little areas in your kitchen where you can eat with a less formal atmosphere than your main dining room. It’s also a great spot for your kids to do their homework or to have a cup of coffee while you read the newspaper or a good book. What’s also a lot of fun about breakfast nooks is how charming you can make the decor.
It’s a wonderful opportunity to bring some more character to your kitchen. Even the smallest breakfast nook is your chance to do something creative and provide some personality to the space. There are a lot of seating options. You can use traditional chairs, a banquette, a bench or a mixture of any of these.
If you want to bring in a pop of color, pattern, or just some character to your kitchen, the breakfast nook is a great spot in which to do so. Here are 10 breakfast nook ideas to inspire you.
