15 Breakfast Nooks That’ll Make You Want to Ditch Your Dining Table

From petite to sweeping, retro to modern, these designs are taking breakfast nooks to the next level.

The owners of this 2,300-square-foot converted loft in SoHo have a penchant for color and collections. To make way for these elements, BC-OA kept new materials simple and desaturated with super white walls; oil-finished, white oak flooring; and white lacquered cabinetry. In the dining area, a custom designed, built-in, tufted banquette adds soft juxtaposition against the live edge dining table. The velvet upholstery is meant to provide contrast against the exposed, white-washed original brick in both texture and era. Overhead a brass chandelier with exposed Edison bulbs references the former Swan Incandescent Electric Light Co. which occupied the loft after construction was completed in 1897.

While a dining room table offers an ideal space for gatherings, entertaining, or even working on a project, often it can feel a bit much for day-to-day use. Enter: the breakfast nook. For the moments that just don’t warrant the formality of a prescribed meal, a smaller dedicated space can be an option that’s more approachable and conducive to intimate activities. Whether it’s the regular coffee and breakfast with the fam, a small bite on the go, or a cozy place to catch up on a bit of work, the breakfast nook is the perfect central hub. Here are 15 different ways to create a cozy corner ranging from clean and minimalist to bold and cheeky; there’s even a stylish Airstream option.  

Genesee Residence by Síol Studios

Síol Studios renovated a 1920s Spanish Colonial-style home as an L.A. getaway for a creative couple. The designers prioritized keeping the original charm of the home while updating it to accommodate an indoor/outdoor lifestyle. Each element in the home is a statement piece, particularly the custom-designed curving pink banquette. Upholstered in a durable outdoor-grade fabric, the seat is not only beautiful, but resilient against spills and wet swimsuits.

Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Asheville, North Carolina with distant north views of Mount Spivey, Assembly Architecture & Build designed an energy-efficient home with earthy materials, including locally milled cypress, southern yellow pine, and Spanish terra cotta tile. An atrium makes up the center of the home, bringing natural light into its core, which cools the space, filters the air, and minimizes street facing windows. Adjacent to the kitchen, facing the airy central space, is a birch plywood banquette with storage.
