Kitchen Décor-How to Make a Breakfast Nook into an Eat-In Oasis

If you have a combination kitchen and dining area, breakfast nook, or eat-in kitchen area, we can help you stylize this area with wonderful table linens and decorating ideas.

Window Treatments

Window curtains are essential for a breakfast nook or table situated in or near a window or French back doors.  Use the three-piece curtain set for a gorgeous look.  This will include two panels and a perfectly tailored valance to frame in the look.  Having tall and substantial window treatments like this will make the walls and windows appear taller.  If the table sits next to a single back door, instead of using draperies, why not hang an airy sheer on a decorative rod so that natural light can pour in more easily?

Lighting

A light fixture over your breakfast nook will help section off this part of the kitchen from the rest of the kitchen.  A rustic chandelier for a traditional or country kitchen or a sleek modern fixture for a contemporary kitchen will really transform the look of your entire kitchen.

Seating

This is the most important, because this is where we really step in with our seat cushions and pillows.  An actual nook where a table is framed in on most sides by a bench against a wall is like a decorator’s wonderland when working with bright and cheerful pillows.  Small breakfast tables with movable chairs look great in our Rapee chair cushions.

The Table

Your dining room décor will look lovely if you want to showcase your Rapee or Pure Linen runner and placemat sets.  We might even say that your table linens will be incomparable to anyone else’s when you feature Rapee, Pure Linen, and our other designers into your home.

The Little Touches

If you have a hutch nearby, fill them with your finest most colourful collection of your china; don’t be bashful!  These collections showcase who you are and what your style is. The centrepiece on your table is like the grand finale.  Check on some craft sites like BGH.com to find some seasonal centrepiece ideas that you can make on your own.
