A breakfast nook is the perfect way to have a place where the whole family can get the day started with the best mood possible. Sure, each person has his or her own morning routine, but everyone still needs to have breakfast, right? Check out these awesome and beautiful ideas to add to your home!
“Happiness is a direction, not a place.” - Sydney J. Harris
Bold and Bright
Going for something bold, such as the yellow curtains and pillows above, is a good way to create a cozy breakfast nook. Yellow is a powerful color that brings in positive vibes; it makes people more sociable and creative. It’s a safe bet to start the day off in the best way possible!
Window Seat
A lot of breakfast nook ideas are usually centered around a window seat. And for good reason: getting the day started with the morning sun will cheer up anyone who needs a little extra help waking up. Simple decor, with white, gray, and just a touch of green will create a great calm space for you and your family.
Kid-Friendly
Talking about family, we also need to think about the kids! Most of all, they need healthy and balanced meals throughout the day - so never let them skip breakfast! That being said, this is how to make the nook more appropriate for them:
- Avoid furniture with sharp edges
- Make sure to have a space they can keep their creativity flowing, such as a gallery wall for their own drawings or even a chalk painted wall
- Avoid rugs in the area
This last one is both because kids can get messy when eating and your rug will pay the price, and because sometimes kids get excited and run around (for what it appears to be no reason at all), which means they could easily trip or slip on the rug
Wallpapered
There’s no doubt that wallpaper can do magic to your home, that has been proven time and time again. So, with the right pick, your breakfast nook will be the best part of the house! Geometric patterns are super trendy at the moment, but florals never go out of style. The choice is just a matter of what matches your home’s style best.
Round Table
The round table idea is ideal for creating the kid-friendly breakfast nook we were talking about earlier, but it’s also an awesome way to add elegance to your home. Also, it’s super practical: a simple, small centerpiece will easily decorate it and make it special!
Kitchen Island
Now, if you’re lacking the space, this is a good alternative:
Attach a breakfast nook to your kitchen island!
