Breakfast Nooks – Start The Day With A Smile

I often hear that breakfast is the most important meal of the day.  In our often too busy lives, carving out a quiet and cozy place to eat is easier than you think.  A small corner is all you need to set up a compact table (round ones fit better into tight spaces) and a couple of chairs.  If you’re handy (or know someone who is) a small banquette is easy to build and can be custom measured to fit your space.  Even a love seat reupholstered in funky fabric and a small table is perfect for curling up with a cup of coffee and the morning paper.

To decorate what’s sure to be your new favourite spot add cheerful fabrics in bright prints and a coordinating wall paint colour.  If your family includes little people choose a washable finish like eggshell to wipe any meal time messes off the walls.   Accessorize with fun artwork and fresh flowers.
