We all need someplace to go at the end of the day where we can unwind quietly and share our experiences with our loved ones. Talking over events can clear the mind and calm the soul. Breakfast nooks are the perfect place for that!
Regardless of your preference, you’ll be able to find a breakfast nooks design that fits both your style and your budget. Imagine sitting with a hot beverage on a cold winter morning, enjoying the paper and a roaring fire in the fireplace. You look out from your breakfast nook onto a snowy backyard, comforted by the fact that you have a long, lazy day ahead. If you like country, you’ll be seated at a breakfast nooks design consisting of two wooden high-backed, L-shaped benches and a trestle table, with additional bench for extra seating if you position the high-backed benches at right angles to each other. Add a few hand crafted cushions or pillows for comfort and atmosphere. What’s more, there’s a hidden feature to this breakfast nook: storage space underneath the bench seats, with ample room for extra dishes, pots and pans, and linens. Play around with the different types of wood-dark wood or a more blonde tone? Which one fits best in with your other furniture? There are plenty of breakfast nooks in either wood tone.
Don’t like country? How about a coffee shop look? That look is easily achieved by grouping together a high rounded table and tall stools or chairs. Like the look and feel of an English pub? Then place your high-backed country breakfast nook benches opposite each other, with the trestle table in between. Still not satisfied? How about a 1950s diner, complete with vinyl covered metal benches and smooth topped table? You’re restricted only by the limits of your imagination!
No worries if you haven’t a separate alcove in which to place your breakfast nook. Try creating the illusion of separateness by laying down contrasting tile or carpeting for your breakfast nook area. Works just as well!
Just imagining the different types of breakfast nooks can slow the breathing and the heartbeat. A peaceful spot all your own when a long day is done works wonders for the soul, and we all need that in today’s noisy world. Breakfast nooks. Ahhhh!
