<\/h2>\n

Breakfast is quite simply, the best\u00a0meal of the day. It also happens to be the most important, which is great because we can eat a ton of bacon and have it still be socially acceptable. And to top if off,\u00a0breakfast is one of the rare times that you and the rest of the family can actually get to sit down, have a meal and spend some “QT”\u00a0together. That’s why we thought we’d like to show you some interesting ways to create the perfect breakfast nook.<\/p>\n

There’s enough chaos that goes on\u00a0in the morning, so designing the ideal breakfast nook is key. We love breakfast nooks for the same reason we love handmade pancakes made from scratch; they\u2019re warm, cozy and comforting. Plus, anytime we can eat food in our pajamas is a win in our book.<\/span><\/p>\n

The first\u00a0thing to remember about breakfast nooks is that they should be inviting,which means picking out the best lighting possible. The last thing you want at 7:00 am in the morning is a light blinding you while you\u2019re still half asleep trying to enjoy your coffee.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We looked at a lot of different styles, and hand picked some of our favorites just for you. All of these fixtures have the essential design elements to jazz up your nook space while providing your loved ones a reason to spend a little more time at the breakfast table. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Schoolhouse Look<\/h3>\n

Inspired by the classic designs of our childhood years, the <\/span>schoolhouse look<\/span><\/a> is bringing back a vintage, nostalgic charm to kitchens everywhere. Pendant lights such as <\/span>this one<\/span><\/a> can hang effortlessly above your table and give you all the light you\u2019ll ever need in your cozy space.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Farmhouse Style<\/span><\/h3>\n

We love the farmhouse look, which is a refined version of its predecessors often made of repurposed and readily available materials, giving the fixtures an industrial<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0rustic<\/a> look. Farmhouse style lights<\/a> capture a distinct authenticity that can complete the barn-home aesthetic or can be incorporated into more modern design schemes with ease.<\/span><\/p>\n

Modern Style<\/span><\/h3>\n

A modern light <\/a>for the modern homeowner. If your design sense is all about clean lines, interesting textures, and minimalism, going with a modern style light will do wonders for completing your design. It’s a perfect blend of\u00a0chic\u00a0and comfort, making your space feel open and\u00a0inviting.<\/p>\n

Classic Traditional Style<\/span><\/h3>\n

There’s a style out there for everybody and this particular style is characterized by one thing: luxury. If high-end elegance describes your home, then every element of your room should signal class and sophistication. The most popular way to convey this with lighting is by adding a classic crystal chandelier <\/a>to your corner nook. With the right mix of colors, texture and class, it’s very possible to turn your little nook into the nicest area in the house.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
