Incorporate Whimsy
If you never met a stripe you didn’t like, add them into your breakfast nook with upholstered chairs. You can change out the color depending on the season.
This one designed by Tamsin Johnson is such a refreshing mix of styles, too, from the moody and provocative framed photographs to the casual rattan table, modern walls, and whimsical yet classic upholstery.
Perch by a Window
This Emily Henderson-designed breakfast nook is perfect for families, thanks to the ample seating and comfortable and durable materials. It’s also always well-advise to set up your dining nook by a large window so you can enjoy that bright morning light.
Carve Out a Niche
This is easily one of the most stylish breakfast nooks we’ve ever laid eyes on. The curvature of the built-in banquet plays up the rounded custom pedestal table as well as the stools, and matching tiled table base, banquet base, and floors create a modern, almost futuristic impression.
Designed by Doherty Design Studio, the dining nook is also situated inside an architectural niche, enhancing the sense of intimacy even further.
Make It Kid-Friendly

Double Seating
Interior designer Erin Shakoor doubled the seating in this dining nook with a banquette. “A banquette allows you to sit longer, more comfortably—is and with more people,” she tells us.
