To-Die-For Eat-In Kitchens of Every Shape and Size
Delectable dining areas are possible in just about every kitchen if you know what your options are
The morning rush is just more fun when you can pull up a pew, gobble up some breakfast and chat about the day ahead all at the same time. If you yearn for an eat-in kitchen but aren’t sure it can happen at your place, think again. Will a little imagination, there’s hope for your kitchen yet. These eat-in options are sure to inspire a few more leisurely family meals around the table.
Love at first sight. The lucky owners of this classical home are spoilt for choice in this kitchen. Pull up a bar stool or linger over a meal in the sunny eating nook by the window.
Space saver. There’s no need to take up more room than you need with bar stools when you could make better use of the space for storage.
Side view. If it doesn’t make sense at your place to have bar stools lining the island bench, consider this nifty alternative.
Room with a view. Galley kitchens are tricky when it comes to accommodating an eat-in area, but this one manages it in style.
Down to earth. Perching up on a bar stool to eat is not everyone’s idea of a good time. This eat-in option accommodates regular dining chairs with ease.
Settle in. If comfort is key, a set-up that combines lounge chairs with a split-level benchtop could be just the thing.
Light and lovely. I’d forego metres of benchspace in my kitchen if it meant I could squeeze in a heavenly eat-in nook like this one. Worthy of breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Industrial ideal. Style is brimming over in this cutting-edge space, and the banquette is just the height of cool. A great example of thinking outside the square.
Heart of the action. A rustic table makes a kitchen feel warm and friendly. It isn’t hard to imagine this one surrounded by family and friends, laden with good food and wine, and as a magnet for board games and homework.
Modern family. If your style is as contemporary as it comes, don’t discount including a table in the kitchen. This one works a treat for the average family of four, and a couple more chairs can easily be added when company comes.
Slide over. Open-plan homes make it easy to weave in an eat-in area. The table and bench seats work well with the colour of those striking rafters.
