11 Cute Coastal Breakfast Nooks for Cozy, Quick Meals

These stunning coastal breakfast nooks will inspire you to create a new cozy eating corner in your home. If you have a summer or beach home, you may want to create a space that lets you overlook the ocean or lake while sitting down to eat. Breakfast nooks are amazing spaces for quick meals when you don’t want to bother with setting up the dining room table for a meal.

Coastal breakfast nooks are typically designed using a traditional coastal interior design color palette of blue, green, white, and sand or beige. Take a peek at some of the coastal breakfast eating areas we found most inspiring here.
