3 Stylish Ways to Decorate Your Tiny Breakfast Nook
Nothing calls for weekend relaxation and Insta-perfect morning routines quite like a perfectly styled breakfast nook. Fortunately, by definition, a breakfast *nook* doesn’t require a lot of space. You just need a corner big enough for a little table, a couple of chairs and a few colorful pieces of tableware. Introduce bold artwork, plenty of plants and a few playful accents like throw pillows to create the ultimate spot for enjoying everything the kitchen has to offer, from early morning pancake breakfasts to late night glasses of wine. This week’s edition of Decor Resolutions will show you how to get the most trendy + cozy breakfast nook when you don’t have the luxury of a big dining space. Scroll on to see how we’d style a tiny breakfast nook for the boho-chic space, the minimalist abode and the preppy home.
The rustic touches in this cozy home make you feel like you’re in another time and place. A breakfast nook doesn’t have to be an actual nook. Any corner or window area can be cozied up with a small table and copper chairs. Bring in even more texture with a rattan light pendant, polka dot rug and embroidered throw pillows. Fill up the rest of the space with things that bring a burst of color, like plants, a dream catcher or iridescent drinking glasses.
