There are many advantages to corner breakfast nook furniture over other kinds of furniture for the kitchen. First, it is one of the best ways to save space and maximize the number of people you will be able to sit in a smaller breakfast nook. In addition, corner breakfast nook furniture often offers an opportunity for extra storage. Finally, corner kitchen sets have benches that are a great canvas for decorating. You will find that having a nook set is one of the best furniture purchases you will ever make.
When you are measuring for a breakfast nook table, you normally have to subtract three feet from each dimension of the room to find the maximum dimensions of your kitchen table. The reason for that is you need approximately eighteen inches between each edge of the table and the nearest wall. This eighteen inch buffer is so you and your guests will have room to pull out chairs and sit down. However, with a corner set, you do not need that eighteen inch buffer on two sides. You will still need space for the benches, but the space between the edge of the table and the wall is more like twelve inches. This means you could have a table up to one and a half times as large as you would without the corner configuration.
Another benefit is the presence of under the seat storage in the benches. The two bench seats that fit into the corner often lift like lids on a storage chest. The space underneath is a large storage area where a homeowner can store anything from table linens, to appliances, to food, to art and school supplies. If you like to change the tablecloth and placemats on your table with the seasons and holidays, then you might appreciate a chest where you can store all of your extra table linens. Otherwise, you might have to store them in a Rubbermaid container in the attic or garage. If you have small kitchen gadgets that you want easy access but that you do not want taking up valuable counter or cabinet space, then the breakfast nook storage areas are perfect. If you do your food shopping at price clubs where you have to buy large containers, you can use the space under your benches to store the extra food that you cannot use right away. Finally, if you want your kids close by while you prepare and clean up after dinner, then you should store art supplies for youngsters and school supplies for your older children so they can play and work at the breakfast nook table while you work.
The benches of a kitchen nook set are a large canvas for any decorator because not only do you have the bench cushions, but you can also decorate the backs of the benches with stenciling or draperies, or pillows. You can use both the seat and the back as a place for displaying colorful and textured fabrics.
