An extended countertop bar, a folding table, or a corner bench, are the best options to have a breakfast nook, no matter how small the kitchen is. A breakfast nook is for daily breakfasts -of course-, but also for informal lunches, and everyday dinners.
A ROUND SOLUTION FOR A BREAKFAST NOOK
A breakfast nook for four people, requires a space of between 4 and 6 m2. In a few meters, you can opt for a round table: it makes better use of the space and encourages table discussions. For four, it should have a diameter of about 76 cm. When choosing the table, bear in mind that each diner needs 60 cm in width.
AN ISLAND BAR FOR THE PERFECT BREAKFAST NOOK
Extend the countertop by 60 cm, so you gain work surface and eating space for three people in just 60 x 60 cm. You can also plan a bar slightly above the worktop. To make day-to-day life more comfortable, the office should be close to the storage and water areas and away from the cooking area.
Tip! the stools will be more comfortable if you choose them with a little back and a bar to support your feet.
INVISIBLE SOLUTIONS
Opt for folding or removable furniture. Better match with folding chairs or stackable stools.
WITH A BENCH IN A CORNER
In the space occupied by two chairs, a bench can accommodate four people. Plus, it makes the most of corners and the space under the window. To be comfortable, the seat must be 45 cm deep and 40 cm from the floor. Sitting, your legs should form a right angle, and the backrest should support your back.
REMEMBER! Measures you must respect:
- To pass. And to move the chairs, you need 70 cm behind them, 100 cm if you have storage behind.
- The legs. When folded, they need to be at least 35 cm deep. The optimal is 45 cm.
- Choose the seats according to the height of the table: about 25 cm below the table.
