Sunny spot. The warm sun shining in your windows will have you waking up with a spring in your step. This space is just as cosy for breakfasting alone as it is with the family.
Feeling fine. This light-filled corner is both elegant and comfortable with the help of the upholstered blue chairs and eye-catching chandelier. Can’t you just imagine sitting here with croissants and freshly brewed coffee alongside your morning newspaper?
Together again. There’s room for everyone in this character-filled nook. Make pancakes for the masses or leave everyone to look after themselves – this spot would make anyone feel relaxed and at home.
Cute and comfy. This little nook is tucked away at the end of the kitchen, but is not forgotten. Chat here with a friend over a cup of tea or make a happy space for the children to eat breakfast before school – it’s sure to be a cherished childhood memory.
Teal tales. Breakfasting at a kitchen island can be just as lovely as a purpose-built nook with colours as delicious as these. The deep teal used on the splashback and walls contrasts perfectly with the red stools and accessories to create a welcoming space.
Island living. Using the back of the kitchen island can be the perfect solution for those who love the idea of bench seating in a breakfast nook but have limited space. Add a table and some comfy cane chairs and you’ve just designed the best place in the house for family and drop-ins to gather for breakfast.
Tucked away. The light coming through windows on three sides will help your body wake up in the morning. Adding a deep bay window is a relatively cost-effective way to get the extra space you need to for the ultimate breakfast nook.
Softly does it. A jumble of colourful cushions cosies up any breakfast corner. Just don’t make it too comfortable or you won’t want to leave. A mix of designs and textures adds a casual feel just right for an easy start to the day.
Eclectic edge. Unleash your inner designer when you’re rethinking a small dining area. The retro furniture works well with the mishmash of framed art on the wall behind. Add an oversized light fitting for extra quirk appeal.
Classic chic. This beautiful corner is just made for leisurely family gatherings on a lazy weekend morning. Its classic good looks have been given a novel twist with the hanging star-shaped pendants.
Verandah style. If there’s no room inside for a cosy breakfast nook, set your sights on the verandah. Gather mismatched chairs and an old kitchen table, and paint everything white – it’s a no-fail formula.
