Breakfast Nook Ideas: Breakfast nooks (or "kitchen nooks" as they're sometimes known) are popular seating solutions for many homes. The thing that most people find surprising is the vast amount of breakfast nook design options available. Many people believe 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 breakfast nook designs.
Kitchen Breakfast Nook Ideas
For starters, a cherry nook is rich and gorgeous choice for kitchen nook designs. 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.
Different Style Breakfast Nook Design Ideas
Mission Style: 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.
Savannah Style: For a homey look and feel, the Savannah style nook is a great choice of kitchen nook design. 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.
Nantucket Style: 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.
Small Breakfast Nook Ideas
If you are looking for small breakfast nook ideas, consider whether you
want your nook to especially "nookish" -- i.e. tucked away and almost
out view, or whether you're trying to make a small space seem bigger.
The general rule to follow here is that dark woods disappear and hide
more easily, and light-colored woods open things up more, and perhaps
make your small space look larger if that's your goal.
The Bottom Line on Breakfast Nook Ideas
The bottom line is that when your are designing a breakfast nook, you have incredible choices. Breakfast nooks are great for taking small spaces and turning them into functional space for any meal.
