How to Fix Up Your Breakfast Nook
For anybody who’s used to enjoying a full-size kitchen, having a cozy space to read or linger over breakfast might feel like a necessity, especially if you’ve also got a full-size dining room and ample storage in other parts of the home.
We’ve noticed some builders are not only creating kitchens, but also full “morning rooms” off the side of the kitchen, to give homeowners some extra space to start their days.
Wondering how you, too, can create a nice little breakfast nook of your own? Take a look at some of the creative solutions we’ve uncovered:
Start with a bench and a table.
Yes, it truly is that simple. Round tables lend themselves to more conversation, so begin by finding the space you’d like to morph into your breakfast nook, be that in a corner of the kitchen, a dining room, home office, or to dress up a window in a bedroom, and get started.
Built-in nooks add extra sophistication.
You could either hire a woodworker or build your own, but the simplest built-in breakfast nooks entail a stained or painted wooden box and some cushions, once you’ve carved out the appropriate square footage.
Update what’s already there.
If there’s already a window seat in the kitchen, then it’s easy to simply add a table and chairs, right in front of it. For an added touch, make it themed with a simple color palette and whimsical artwork.
Upholstery for the win.
Fitted, matching cushions are a lovely touch for a more put-together look, though it’s certainly not entirely necessary. While you’re at it, consider adding storage underneath for out-of-the way items or special occasion linens that you don’t need to access very often.
Find a corner and make it work.
If nothing else, find a corner you’d like to update, and get moving on the way toward a new-to-you space that you can enjoy a little more with some tweaks.
