Get Inspired: 6 Breakfast Nooks & Built-In Banquette Seating

June 23, 2022
  • Share

Interior designers are swapping out the everyday kitchen chairs with built-in banquette seating. Today, more people rather have stylish informal dining areas for their families to enjoy. I mean…how often do you eat at your formal dining table? Most people only use their dining room for holidays and gatherings. My kitchen is small and doesn’t have any space for a dining table. However, if you have the space then there’s no need for a formal dining room.  So now with the rise of modern banquette seating, will formal dining rooms become obsolete?

The breakfast nook above is designed by Jkath Design. The space has large steel windows which allow for an abundance of natural light. The custom seating creates a cozy vibe and complements the wooden beam ceiling for a rustic look.

Multipurpose Dining Areas: Embracing Versatility with Breakfast Nook

New construction is focusing on family-friendly dining experiences. Modern homes are using multipurpose dining room, which includes breakfast nooks. It’s a flexible room that may serve as a relaxed corner for your morning coffee or a casual dining area for family dinner. You can innovate the space with design elements, such as kitchen pendant lights hung above the table and stylish throw pillows to create a cozy nook.

The second dining nook features a moody grey space and a long bench for comfortable seating. The two french doors are great for indoor-outdoor entertaining.

The third design is all about vibrant colors. The interior designer, Bonesteel Trout Hall, added colorful cushions and pillows to brighten up the all-neutral space.

My two favorite things…a gallery wall and a set-in nook. This fourth dining area is so charming. I love the contrast between the white brick wall and the deep midnight blue wall.

The fifth kitchen design is more artistic than the others. If you’re not afraid of taking a risk, then add a beautiful textile floor to your breakfast area. Interior designer, Meredith K Design, elevated the space by coordinating the custom bench seating with the navy and white flooring.

This design is for the people that like to keep it neutral, but with a chic twist. Jenn Feldman Designs, created a custom corner sofa for her clients. It’s elegant breakfast nook that almost feels like you’re in a city lounge.

Interior Design Trends: The Shift to Informal Dining Areas

Dining nooks are becoming a popular design technique in new construction. According to the Architectural Digest, versatile breakfast nooks are “currently having its moment in the son.” People who are renovating their homes or building new construction are prioritizing family-friendly dining experiences including built-in banquette seating. People with growing families rather invest in comfortable and functional seating for their home including dining areas that can also become a home workspace, children’s homework station, or a cozy home bar.

Martha's Vineyard house tour part 1. Here is a tou Martha's Vineyard house tour part 1. Here is a tour of the rental house we had in Edgartown on MV this summer. A new build about 5 minutes from the center of town. 3500 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 4 baths and a pool. House bad that beach house or coastal style decor. We were the first to rent it. What do you think? Would you rent thjs? Do you want to see the bedrooms?
It was our 2nd summer on the Vineyard. Next year, we are renting for the month. Same house. 💃🏾 I would love a bit bigger so more people could come but finding good rentals is hard on the Vineyard. Feel very lucky to have spent a magical few weeks in this spot.

Comment YES if you want to see a tour of this Mart Comment YES if you want to see a tour of this Martha's Vineyard house. I rented this house for our two week stay in Martha's Vineyard. A few minutes walk to the center of Edgartown. The house was heaven. We were the first renters to stay in this newly built house.
