Bright and Cheery Breakfast Nook Ideas
Seems like everyone I talk to these days is itching for spring to get here! Daylight hours are getting longer and I love waking up to the sun with a cup of coffee in my kitchen dining space. To create your own springtime fresh breakfast nook, here’s a few ideas to get you started!
Color! Find a fresh color and paint your table, chairs, or even your walls. It’s amazing how just a small touch of color can brighten up a space.

Rev Up Romantic Appeal. Fans of the shabby chic look are good at adding a bit of romance to their homes. Here, a fringed tablecloth pairs with a fresh bouquet of roses. Painted chairs (see the first tip) can easily give your breakfast nook charming appeal.

Update Your Pillows. I always like a pillow or two in my dining spaces. If you’re lucky to have a banquette, you can enjoy lots of pillows. Even though the walls are a deep brown, this charming dining corner is light and bright with colorful pillows.

Change Your Wall Art. A simple framed print might be all you need to add a fresh look to your dining area. The beautiful bird print is paired with a simple feather print hung by a clip. I have a few vintage bird prints you can download and frame.

Window ledges can be lined with glass bottles in an array of colors, or small plants that like bright light look cute, too. Use a colorful pitcher as a centerpiece and set your table with colorful dishes.

Farmhouse Table for a Breakfast Nook
What I want more than a breakfast nook is a maid/housekeeper to make me breakfast each morning!
Now that would brighten up my kitchen!

Ha, ha….Breakfast I will make. I want a chef to fix dinner.
Thanks for all these cute ideas, love them, i am getting rid of my bar and getting a nook instead, now that my sons are gone don’t want it, and have a dinning room when we all gather.
I have dining space in my L shaped kitchen but would love to replace my EA trestle table (6ft) with a narrower island with stools on one side. Problem is, I don’t have another area for a table when (more like if) I have anyone for dinner or a small gathering holiday event. I do have a place for a table for 2 as is suggested in one of the examples, but am afraid to pass the table down to my adult grandson, then regret it. It’s a dilemma, for sure. Loved all the ideas presented. Your research is always on point for so many of us.
Love all these ideas. The green inspired picture was my favorite. I am so loving the green spectrum and would like, when I redo my kitchen to have sage green cabinets.
