Breakfast nooks are becoming a major hub in today’s homes, and with kids going back to school, these spots are sure to be getting a workout soon — from the first bowl of cereal to the last math homework calculation.
A well designed breakfast nook tends to become a family favorite. We love that they can do double duty as a utilitarian eating space, but also an all-purpose area for family to gather. And when thinking about design for these spaces, we always take into account these various ways they will be used. We’ve also found almost every good breakfast nook has three things in common: a great chandelier, a space appropriate table and plenty of seating. Picking paint color, upholstery fabrics (so many great performance fabrics these days!), wall art and all other details are thought through after the main pieces are solidified to strike the perfect balance of comfort and polish.
