Natural Light

Installing large windows is the perfect way to use natural light in your dining area. They provide you with sunlight and allow you to play with different window fixtures to personalize and style your area. Use detailed window designs for added character.

Storage

Breakfast nooks offer many options for built-in storage space. A wrap-around bench with cushions over in-seat cubbies can provide hidden space for any excess kitchen supplies that need a home. Install drawers underneath your seating area for easy access to storage. Play with different cushion patterns and designs for added color and personality.

Play With Pillows

Pillows make your breakfast nook all the more enjoyable. Aside from providing comfort, they can be exchanged as the seasons change for a simple design revamp. Use bright pillows in the summer months and transition to darker and more neutral tones for the fall and winter seasons.

Reading Space

If natural light isn’t available, adding a chandelier or other light fixtures helps you transform your breakfast nook into a cozy reading area. Comfy pillows and ample seating allow you to create a space that everyone can enjoy. Install cabinets and shelves that provide added storage space and can double as a makeshift bookshelf.
