By Castle Design. Part of a renovation for a fun-loving family’s historical and stately home, this breakfast nook sought to be both a thoughtful extension of the kitchen where family and guests can overflow and a cozy breakfast nook for a quiet cup of coffee. Incorporating peaceful pattern play and classic colors in the Lisa Fine wallcovering, Carolina Irving banquette fabric, custom walnut table and Visual Comfort lighting, this breakfast nook is a perfect addition to this grand home. This effort was in partnership with Stone Hall Cabinetry and Period Restoration. Photography by Alise O’Brien Photography.

We built a banquette bench seat to take the shape of the bay with windows, which in turn is a perfect fit for a 42” round table. Optional chairs complete this look.

By Larina Kase Interior Design. This nook is in the kitchen of an older home where we combined traditional and mid-century modern styles. The goal was to maximize the usage of space and create a cozy spot in the sun for the family to enjoy their breakfast. Photography by Aliza Schlabach Photography.

By Chelsea Design Company. This breakfast nook was a part of a large L-shaped space with three seating areas and a kitchen. We added a 12-foot window seat with a single cushion in a durable seafoam faux velvet, which sat between the main 8-foot dining table and a stunning view of rolling hills and the Mississippi River. We wanted to accentuate the view, not interrupt it, so we chose neutral and complementary materials and hung the oversized chandelier close to the ceiling. Photography by Alise O’Brien Photography.

By Tim Barber Architects. In the historic Wolf’s Lair chateau near the Hollywood Sign in Los Angeles, Tim Barber Architects created an entirely new kitchen for songwriter Moby. Traditional cabinetry, hardware and lighting define this sunny breakfast nook; steel windows frame the canyon views beyond. Photography by Noah Webb.

By Stephanie Pohlman Designs. Upgrading your kitchen with a designated breakfast nook adds value to your home and creates a multipurpose space for gathering that isn’t limited to mealtime. In this custom build, we incorporated a bench with added seating and storage. My favorite part has to be the windows and natural light paired with the natural wood beams creating a cozy retreat that sets itself apart from the main kitchen area. Photography by Lisa Mitchell.
