In the modern set up, there is not ample space available for kitchen. Due to small sized kitchens it is often not possible to accommodate the dining table and chairs in the kitchen itself. To overcome this problem, concept of kitchen breakfast nooks was devised so that the members of family and close friends could enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner together in the cozy comforts of the kitchen and enjoy the just cooked dishes. Kitchen nooks are separately marked area in a corner of the kitchen with proper sitting arrangements and a table/counter to serve the food.
The layout plan of the kitchen nooks should be designed keeping in view the entire area of the kitchen. The placement of nook should be in such a way so as not to obstruct the passage for movement into the kitchen and there is adequate room for free movement of the person working in the kitchen. A designated space should be provided for the kitchen breakfast nooks so that normal functioning of the kitchen activities is not hampered. Nooks can be got fixed against the wall of the kitchen adjacent to the room or it can be placed on one side of the kitchen platform.
The area, in which kitchen breakfast nooks are to be planned, should be enclosed with wainscoting along the floor of the kitchen and separate color/design of tiles should be chosen for this area to demarcate kitchen breakfast nooks from other part of the kitchen. Built in benches may also be designed with kitchen nooks for the most optimum use of the space available in the kitchen. Apart from this, small bistro tables or small pub tables can also be used to give an altogether different look to the kitchen.
Elegant, durable seat upholstery should be used in kitchen breakfast nooks to add extra charm to it and make it a more attractive place to eat at. The type and color of wood should be carefully chosen in accordance with the overall color scheme of the kitchen. In some of the kitchen nooks, provision for storage or drawers for utensils or other small items is also made to make maximum use of the space available. A colorful rug may also be placed on the floor make the kitchen breakfast nooks look attractive and bright.
The design and color scheme of the kitchen nooks should be thoughtfully planned according to the amount of money available as budget for fixing kitchen nooks. If designed meticulously and used properly, the kitchen nooks can give a new look to your old kitchen and make your meals feel tasty and more enjoyable.
