One of the best creations for the kitchen is the corner breakfast nook because it helps solve so many problems that can arise in the kitchen and breakfast eating areas. If you need a larger table so that you can accommodate more people, need some extra space to store kitchen items, or want to be able to use upholstery for decorating in the kitchen then the corner breakfast nook can help do all of that.
When people choose their kitchen table, they need to make sure that there is enough room around all sides of the table so that you can pull out the chairs, sit down, and still have room to walk around the table once everyone is seated. As a result, there is a lot of dead space in the room. If you choose a corner breakfast nook, then you can increase the size of your table in both directions by a considerable amount. There are two reasons that make that possible. First, the corner bench sits up against the wall and the table sits at a fixed distance away from the bench so that it is comfortable to eat at the table. You save the space you needed to pull out chairs as well as the walking space behind the chairs. You can take all that extra space and add it to the dimensions of the table.
Even if you increase the size of the table, that might not solve your problem of needing to fit more people at the table. The corner nook solves this problem as well because bench seating can accommodate more people than chairs. You can usually fit one and a half people on a bench that takes up the same amount of room as a chair. Therefore, an L-shaped bench around a table that normally sits six chairs will be large enough for eight people.
If you have too many small appliances or kitchen linens in your kitchen and have your countertops and cabinets overflowing, then you need some extra storage. Breakfast nooks with storage are the perfect solution and corner nooks usually have under the seat storage in the bench area. You can lift the seat of the bench to find large storage areas where you can store small kitchen appliances like rice cookers, bread makers, etc. or kitchen linens like placemats, table cloths, etc.
If your corner bench has a high back, then you can upholster not only the seat, but the back as well. This gives you a much larger canvas for decorating than you would get if you were using chairs around a normal table in the center of the room. It is sometimes hard to add color and personality to the breakfast nook because it is a small room with very little wall space. High backed benches like what you would find in a restaurant give you many opportunities to show your personality and add color to the room.
