10 Stunning breakfast nooks by our favorite designers

What is it about a breakfast nook (and home offices, for many of us) that so appeals to us? Is it the coziness? The functionality? The charm? These spaces have captured our hearts (and those of many families too) and have become an undeniably charming addition to modern homes. Whether by a window, in a corner of a room, or tucked away under the stairs, these nooks are the perfect refuge to slow down and escape the hustle and bustle of long workdays, so it’s common for us to dream of this space for enjoying a good breakfast, working peacefully, or reading a comforting book.

Yes, we can all be honest and say that we’d prefer to sit on a bench when given the choice, but with this selection of 10 inspirations from some of our favorite designers, a seat in a chair would make us equally happy. From classic built-in benches to modern and bolder interpretations, the design possibilities are vast, and one thing is certain: these breakfast nooks are always inviting.

Around here, we’re already dreaming of our Sunday morning, snugly tucked into one of these nooks with a hot drink and a good read. How about you?
