Cool tones for a cool space. That collection of indigo and mud cloth pillows lining the back of the bench is gorgeous, and the large artwork acts as a beautiful focal point. The round pedestal table fits nicely without being too obtrusive. I’ve always found that round tables in dining nooks are better for maximizing seating. I’d opt for just two dining chairs though.

This tiny space must be the focal point of this kitchen. The blue and white floral wallpaper against the crisp white walls demands every bit of your attention. What a cozy space!

When the classic built-in seating in a breakfast nook isn’t always an option (for all you renters out there), create the illusion of one with two long benches placed at a 90-degree angle. Add a small table and chairs and you’ve got yourself a cozy breakfast nook. If you’re working with a really small spot, just one bench and a small table will do the trick.

Just in time for spring! Add some leafy, nature inspired wall art to livene up you cozy breakfast nook.

I hope you were able to find some ideas or at least some inspiration. Don’t let the size of your home deter you from creating a cozy breakfast nook. You can squeeze one in somewhere! If you don’t have a built-in nook, try a small bench (with storage if you like) add a small table and a chair or two and you’re done. Also, if you’re short on natural light, use a large pendant light or even wall lights to brighten up the space. You can certainly achieve that bright and airy look with artificial lighting.

Happy Decorating!
