25 Breakfast Nook Decor Ideas

If your home is spacious enough for a breakfast nook, then you’re probably looking for the best way to decorate it. Breakfast nooks are the perfect place to start your day. They’re great for eating a casual, quick meal in a comfortable way. If I have the choice, I definitely prefer to eat in a breakfast nook rather than a coffee table!

There are lots of ways to design a comfortable, practical breakfast nook, even if you don’t have a lot of space. Here are our favorite breakfast nook design and decor ideas to inspire you!

Breakfast nooks can be designed with built-in seating, a table attached to the kitchen island, or separately with freestanding tables and chairs. When it comes to seating, you can opt for a banquette to seat more people, stand alone chairs, or even stools. Pedestal tables, tulip tables, and other round tables with one central leg work best for breakfast nooks. This ensures that everyone sitting down doesn’t have part of the furniture in the way of their leg!

Breakfast Nook Ideas

We’ll share some of our favorite breakfast nook designs with you below! If you prefer to stick to basics, then be sure to read our breakfast nook essentials for practical daily living.

1. Table Against the Wall

If you’re short on space, consider purchasing a small accent table to push up against the wall, surrounded by three chairs for eating!
