What to Consider When Choosing a Breakfast Table or Nook for Your Kitchen

Size of the table in comparison to the kitchen - Keep in mind that, depending on the position of the breakfast table within the kitchen, there may be food preparation and other movement going on right nearby. Therefore, leave enough space for such actions to transpire without bumping into someone seated at the table (who will contribute a minimum of 1.5’ more to the dining area’s footprint). For additional tips on sizing tables for space and seating needs, check out The Complete Guide to Dining Table Seating Capacity

The shape of the breakfast table in relation to the room’s dimensions round tables and squares work better in kitchens with more even proportions while rectangular tables tend to fit rooms that are more rectangular, themselves. 

The style and coloring of the kitchen - While your new breakfast table doesn’t have to match the wood of the cabinets to a tee, there should not be a dramatic visual clash in tones and styles (read our guide on mixing different color woods for more tips). What’s more, take into account the general theme of the room, whether it be farmhouse, Mid-Century, industrial, or French Country.
