One of the most used sets of furniture in any home is the kitchen nook set because most people eat almost every meal at this table rather than in a formal dining room. Since is gets used so much,Benefits of a Kitchen Nook with Storage Articles most people want the breakfast nook furniture to be comfortable and durable. But a few lucky people get an added bonus if they get a breakfast nook with storage. Kitchen nook sets with storage provide many benefits to the average homeowner and should be considered a third requirement for desirable breakfast nook furniture.

The first major advantage of a breakfast nook with storage is the fact that the kitchen can always use more storage space. Being one of the busiest rooms in the house, it is easy for things to get cluttered. In addition, as you grow as a cook and start to use your kitchen more, you will find that you need a wide array of kitchen gadgets and items that are hard to store. The space under the breakfast nook benches is the perfect place to store the items you want to have in your kitchen, but that you do not need every day. You might also use the space to store things like kitchen linens or fine china that take up too much room in your cabinets or drawers or that you do not want to have to store so far away.

Another benefit of a breakfast nook with storage is that generally you can seat more people while taking up less floor space. The reason for this is that most breakfast nooks with storage are corner breakfast nook sets. If you have bench seating on two sides of the table that is pushed all the way into the corner, you do not need to leave such a large buffer around the table for the pulling in and out of chairs. As a result, you so not need as much floor space for the whole set. You can actually fit more people that a traditional dining nook set because benches can accommodate more people than chairs. The rule of thumb is that a bench that replaces two chairs can fit three people.

A third benefit of the breakfast nook with storage is the fact that these furniture sets are usually very comfortable and great for gatherings. Because of the corner breakfast nook set up, you have two benches with backs and you can have cushions on both the seats and the backs creating a seating area that is as comfortable as a couch. It is actually better than a couch, though, because it is closer to food and drink. Kitchens are a natural place to gather and having a corner breakfast nook with storage makes the gathering more comfortable and enjoyable.
