seating in a cozy kitchen

In the world of to-go coffee and yogurt in squeezable tubes, we like to encourage people to slow down. Grab a real coffee mug and a spoon. Sit.

If you want to encourage that same kind of morning slowness in your home, start by making your seating arrangements more inviting with these cozy kitchen seating ideas.

  • Turn that unused space in your kitchen into a cozy breakfast nook.
  • Add bench seating to ensure there’s room for everyone to sit and relax. Get stools and arrange them around your kitchen island to create the perfect kitchen seating
  • a place to pause and enjoy breakfast before you head out for the day.

No space in the kitchen? No problem. The dining room is meant to be used on regular days, not just holidays. Make it a welcoming space to enjoy a meal by using color, pattern, candles and more:

  • Mix upholstered dining chairs with wooden ones for a friendly farmhouse feel.
  • Play up patterns on window treatments or table runners for a pop of personality.
  • Add fresh fruit, flowers or topiaries to any tablescape to make any room more inviting.
  • Use ceramics and pottery together for a casual, mixed-media tabletop.

Here's an example of a cozy kitchen seating set-up,  to help get your breakfast nook ideas going:
