Monday Inspiration–7 Breakfast Nooks We Love

Unlike a formal dining room, a breakfast nook is designed to be approachable and informal. It’s also an easy opportunity to embolden the kitchen while giving it a touch of refinement. The lean lines, on-trend decor, high-impact seating, artworks and lots and lots of natural light to bask in while you sip on a morning cup of coffee are all what make a breakfast nook everybody’s favorite cozy place to start a fresh day or just enjoy some quiet moments during the day. Here are 7 of our favorite breakfast nooks that all feature our favorite tulip dining table. The Tulip Table and Chair were designed in the mid 1950’s by Eero Saarinen, for the furniture house Knoll International and were initially called the ‘pedestal group’ owing to their remarkable base which grew ‘like the flower’ from the center as opposed to having the more traditional standing legs. The table can be used as a dining table or as a living room as a coffee table, forming a combination of exceptional practicality and beauty together with the chairs. And in the inspiration photos below, we also love how the tulip table mixes and matches with the different era’s chairs and furnishings that makes the interiors more fun and timeless.

The built-in banquet is the perfect match for the tulip table–cozy, warm and inviting.
