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!
1. White and bright
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.
3. Bold color and great focal point
I’m swooning over this intimate breakfast nook. Such a quaint morning coffee spot that adds much boldness and character to this dark and light modern farmhouse kitchen.
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.
