Breakfast Tables to Liven Up Your Kitchen
| Kitchen
spaces and interior decor have evolved with time. Spacious kitchens of
yester-years have given way to the lean cook-and-serve counter spaces, in
order to meet the requirements of contemporary urban life. Modern homes
hardly have the kind of space or need for spacious kitchens, with living and
dining spaces being merged together more often. A breakfast table, however,
has never gone out of vogue, despite the lack of space. They still continue
to make breakfast an enjoyable morning routine for family members. A breakfast table may get a few of us confused. They are indeed a distinct category of furniture, very similar to dining tables in their purpose, yet different in their design specifications. These tables are smaller, chic pieces of furniture that are aimed at making the kitchen more functional and lively. Shapes, Sizes and Quality Round tables are ideal to seat a family of four, while a banquette-styled piece may be sufficient for bigger families. The exact size of the table depends on the space available within or close to the kitchen. Given the daily wear and tear associated with these tables, quality is one factor that stands out. Sturdiness, ease of use, and maintenance are also equally important factors to be considered while shopping for these multipurpose tables. Arrangements A breakfast table that plays hosts to informal family get-togethers are intended to offer a comfortable, cozy breakfast space, while also doubling up as reading or activity corners for adults and children. Ideally, these pieces effortlessly blend in with the existing decor and function of the space, or even standout as more lively additions to the kitchen, with chairs either placed around the tables, or padded seats lining the wall or windows surrounding the table, making the place quite welcome. Material There are quite a few interesting designer pieces crafted out of reclaimed or explicitly distressed wood that add warmth to homes. Others made from metal go well with contemporary homes with minimalist interiors. Tables are usually made from stainless steel, zinc or nickel making them ideal for kitchens spruced up with metallic cabinets, sinks, appliances, as well as accessories. Stone (marble, granite) topped tables are also getting increasingly popular, as they are unique and add a touch of class to any space. They are easy to maintain as well. A breakfast table topped with glass often forms the focus of home interiors; however, it demands greater care and attention, especially when there are children in the family. Maintaining glass tables can get difficult as they need to be cleaned of the dust as well as finger imprints that are likely to smudge the surface. Breakfast nooks are gaining popularity as more families tend to appreciate the concept, the space and the quality time they get to spend together at the start of each day. Those looking to revamp or improve their kitchen space may settle for a specific theme or go in for a casual decor to suit their preferences. Small and sleek cafe tables and dinette tables may also make a great breakfast table. |
