My Project Spotlight: Breakfast Nook

The heart of the home is the kitchen and the casual dining area. A breakfast nook is a design concept that has become a creative solution to carve additional seating into the corner of a kitchen.

While in terms of the aesthetics it’s an opportunity to introduce colours, textures and accessories which can truly enhance the overall space.
