Breakfast Nooks

Breakfast Nooks and Your Options

Breakfast nooks are popular seating solutions for many homes.  The thing that most people find surprising is the vast options. For instance, most people think that breakfast nooks only come in a small selection but in truth, they are available in many wonderful styles and materials. In this article, we wanted to provide you with just a few considerations for breakfast nooks, creating better and more beautiful seating.

For starters, a cherry nook is rich and gorgeous. If you want a somewhat elegant, this finish is simply magnificent. One of the most popular options is a five-piece set that includes a side bench, table, and long and short benches that include a wedge. For added storage, the benches have a hidden compartment. The nice thing about this nook set is being able to set it up left or right-handed. The grain is straight but with a nice, coarse texture with very, prominent rays. For cherry breakfast nooks, you have a choice of light or dark finishes.

Now, if the Mission style is more to your liking, then breakfast nooks known as “rakebacks” are wonderful. These breakfast nooks feature the same slatted back that you would find with other Mission style furniture.  Made from solid oak, you can choose from a number of finishes although oak and cherry tend to be the most popular. In addition, the seating of this nook set is padded and in many cases, the manufacturer will give you a choice of many wonderful fabrics.

For a homey look and feel, the Savannah style nook is a great choice. As with other types of breakfast nooks, this comes in a variety of woods and finishes with oak being at the top of the list. This set comes as a four-piece unit with table, as well as long and short benches. In addition, the under the seat storage is great for hiding linens.  Because you can choose your own fabric, you can dress this nook up or down, depending on your décor and personal style.

The bottom line is that when it comes to breakfast nooks, you have incredible choices. For instance, if you live on or near the water, the Nantucket design is simply charming.  Made from oak that has been painted white, you end up with a nice, clean look. In fact, while the style is somewhat rustic, this particular nook set would work well in a contemporary room as well. Breakfast nooks are great for taking small spaces and turning them into functional space for any meal.
