Small Corner Breakfast Nooks
Jump To Our PicksA small corner breakfast nook is the perfect way to start the day. The cozy nature of a breakfast nook is only enhanced by the way it makes the most use of a small corner area. Empty corners are often neglected, and a breakfast nook is a perfect way to create a comfortable and intimate space in your room. Adding cushions can pack a lot of luxury into a corner and give you room to curl up and linger over a second cup of coffee.

Designer Advice:
The orientation of this breakfast nook bench is not reversible, so make sure your available space allows for a longer left side (70.08”) and a shorter right side (50.39”). Ultra modern in design, this small corner dining set pairs perfectly with gloss flat-panel cabinets and a clean, streamlined design. To keep your home from looking stark and clinical, include subtle colors with accents of more vibrant colors.

Four Piece Corner Dining Set
Corrigan Studio®
The small corner breakfast nook bench comes in three pieces: two short benches and one corner bench. The table weighs a hefty 230 lbs, so it is not easy to move in order to let someone sit on the corner seat.
Designer Advice:
The diamond-quilted back benches are upholstered in a dark gray fabric and stand atop gunmetal legs. The table is a combination of black on a gunmetal base. Lighten up the look of this nook by adding whites and color with accessories. Drape a cozy throw over the back of one of the benches and add some patterned cushions that repeat the white and color.

Modern Corner Nook Dining Set
Wade Logan®
Perfect For: Large families and additional guests
What We Like: Versatile design
What We Don’t Like: Expensive
This breakfast nook set maintains a casual modern attitude with its simple look and neutral tones. With room for five, the L-shaped bench is firmly padded and comprises a slightly textured, striated linen fabric in gray, brown, and beige. Beautifully complementing it is an MDF pedestal table in light oak with stainless steel accents. Thanks to its self-storing leaf, the table can expand to fit up to eight people.
Designer Advice:
While the lack of color options might be a drawback for some, we find that its mix of neutral colors makes styling with other furnishings super easy. For instance, this set goes great with colorful chairs—such as indigo blue or maybe even yellow—if you want to brighten up the arrangement. Prefer something a bit more laid-back? Line the table with rattan or linen dining chairs and dress up the bench with bright pillows.
What Users Say:
It fits perfectly in my space and was very easy to assemble. Quality is great too!

Solid Mahogany Corner Dining Nook in Traditional Style
Sunny Designs
Perfect For: Daily dining and heavy use
What We Like: Easy to wipe clean
What We Don’t Like: Hard sitting surface
Not So Good For: Modern spaces
Brimming with natural beauty, this corner breakfast nook set is uniformly stained in a rich brown color and purposely distressed for a lived-in feel. While the side bench and table add character with their trestle bases, the star is undeniably the corner bench. It flaunts a high backrest with grooved detailing, X-shaped panels on the sides, and the best part: hidden storage space under the seat.
$1100
$1271
Designer Advice:
This set is right at home in rustic, Tuscany, Spanish, and mission-style interior design schemes. Think dark flooring, wood beams, and many dark wood accents. We get that the all-wood appearance might look quite uncomfortable. Luckily though, it's nothing a few throw pillows and a soft traditional rug can’t fix.
What Users Say:
Very nice! Great quality! Perfect for our space. We wanted a corner nook for our cabin. This can comfortably seat our family of 4 for dinner or 5 or 6 adults for cards.
