Kitchen nooks have become a large part of residential design. With formal dining not being used as much, an eat-in kitchen nook has been the go-to preference. It provides a cozy atmosphere and can be multifunctional. A place for simple family meals, Saturday morning breakfast, after-school snacks and can also be a great homework spot!

I love a light, bright and airy kitchen sitting area. The perfect spot for morning coffee and breakfast. Keeping it tone-on-tone with cream walls, white leather upholstery and white cabinetry.

2. Curve appeal
Utilizing a small alcove as your kitchen nook is a great way to maximize your space. It creates a cozy environment and adds an architectural feature to your home. I’m loving this oversize pendant fixture from Palecek that adds a layer of texture and gives a dramatic effect.

4. Island banquette
Depending on your space, utilizing the backdrop of your kitchen island is a great way to provide a casual eat-in nook right in the heart of cooking.

5. Softness + color
The kitchen is a space made of hard materials and finishes, from wood, metals, stone and tiles. Adding an upholstered banquette will soften the room and gives you a chance to add color or a fun pattern.

6. Storage solution
When it comes to creating a built-in seating area, combine style and function by adding storage drawers or cabinet doors under your seat cusion.
