Traditionally, a breakfast nook is a three walled room that shares its fourth side with the kitchen. Many times, those walls are covered with windows. Because they are small rooms, you need to choose furniture that will utilize the space well. One way to do that is to use corner breakfast nooks. Choosing a table and benches that fit into the corner will give you room for a larger set. If the table sits in the middle of the room then you have to have enough room around the edges to pull out chairs or benches. Breakfast nook table designed for corner use are designed to sit right against the wall so you do not need that extra room around the outside.

If you choose a table with benches around at least one corner you will need to think about covering them in some way. There are many options when it comes to covering benches including corner nook bench cushion. Cushions made for benches are typically sized to fir the dimensions exactly. They are usually one piece for each length of bench. If your pieces are odd sizes it may be necessary to get them custom made. If you do not want to get cushions for your benches then another option is bench pillows. Bench pillow is just a fancy way of describing throw pillows that you put on your benches. The comfort they provide is mainly for your back and to look pleasing to the eye.

If you do not want a furniture set that includes benches in a corner then another option is a diner style table and booth setup. Formica table tops with a center leg holding them up, surrounded by vinyl booths in outlandish colors is what most people think about when they think of a fifties diner. As silly as it sounds, this is a very popular look for the breakfast nook. They do not take up a lot of room and they can sit up to six people. Another nice addition is a table top juke box. You can get these on e-Bay or at going out of business sales for old diners.

A café style round table that sits high off the ground is another trendy choice. The addition of tall stools makes the room feel like a bar or cunter. You wouldn’t want to have this kind of furniture if you had children in your home. Also, high tables and stools usually are only meant for two to three people. A good reason to pick this type of furniture set is that your breakfast nook area is smaller than most.

Something important to consider when making your final choice about your breakfast nook furniture set is to make sure you will have room for your entire family and maybe a guest. You wouldn’t want to have a two person café table with stools if you have a family of six. A second thing to consider is the comfort of the people who will be using the furniture. For example, if you are a person of large size then a corner breakfast nook set where you will have to slide in and out of a booth constantly might not be very enjoyable for you. But if you have several small children then the corner booth setup would be good because the adults could sit on the outside and have the children slide in and out.
