Some of the most important life moments can happen in small spaces – and your breakfast nook is one of them. In most small living spaces, the breakfast nook can be where important conversations take place: whether you’re amping up your partner for a big presentation, talking about a hard day with your roommate or discussing your passions over cold brew.
It’s time to give your breakfast nook some love and elevate your space with cozy elements and functional pieces that help make use of the small space. If you already have a breakfast nook, there might also be new ways to refresh the space so you can use it more intently.
From stylish bistro tables that you can use for intimate brunches to stylish pieces that double as additional seating, here are some fun items that are sure to fit into your dream breakfast nook.
An easy-to-clean rug that’s equally eye-catching
A table rug is an easy way to integrate a pop of color into your breakfast nook. Not only does it add a touch of personality, but it helps separate your breakfast nook from the rest of your apartment or house. This Impasto Slate Blue Rug is also washable and stain-resistant, so it’ll be easier than ever to keep crumbs and stains away.
