In our fast-paced society, breakfast doesn’t get the respect it deserves. A good breakfast is an essential part of the day, and yet it's so common to skip it altogether. Designing a beautiful breakfast nook can encourage the whole family to take a few moments to enjoy this quintessential meal. And choosing the correct rug for breakfast nook décor lays a good foundation for everything else.
Natural materials like wood and fur naturally create a more cozy, welcoming space. Combine these materials with plant life and you are one step closer to creating a very natural, warm nook. If plants are too high maintenance, even faux plants can beautifully accent your table. Natural sights outside the windows and painted on canvases can also further develop your love of nature and natural decor.
Stripes are incredibly versatile in how they can be used with different interior design styles. In fact, stripes are so versatile that they can pair well with bold wallpaper, intricately designed chairs, and other details. When looking for that perfect breakfast nook rug, consider how a striped rug can complement your room's other designs.
Limited and focused color palettes do not have to be boring. Take inspiration from this built-in breakfast nook's bold teal color palette. By using the same color in various fabrics, furniture, and surfaces, you saturate the room with that color. That alone makes a dramatic impact, but by intentionally scattering pattern and unexpected colors in this scheme, you can create a highly contemporary, tightly designed corner nook.
Super tight on space? A drop leaf table paired with a round breakfast nook rug can work perfectly if you don’t need to tuck the table away. If you do, try a runner rug instead. The runner will protect your floor when the table is folded away while still defining the space when it’s out.
Again, pick a bright color for your rug to set the mood for pleasant mornings.
Bonus tip: When not in use for eating, the space can double as a reading nook or relaxation space. Picture yourself curling up with a good book and a hot beverage to wind down from your day. For more inspiration, browse online photos for reading nook ideas.
