Bay window breakfast nook, trying to take out table
Comments (3)Great ideas. At first I was thinking, no, I can't do a bench because I really need some seating for the kids to eat breakfast, etc, and I do not want a table by the bench. But then I looked at Igloochic's kitchen and it is great! I am going to measure and see if I can make a bigger island (maybe just a bigger countertop with overhang) and put in a bench or chair....See Morepic attached for breakfast nook seating ideas
Comments (10)If you do something similar to what Drjoann has, be sure the table is easily moved b/c it will not be easy getting to the seat along the back wall w/the table in-place...unless you're a child! Each person needs 24" to 30" of linear space + 18" of legroom not shared w/anyone else (so a minimum 36" deep table). Additionally, if you have seating on all 4 sides, you need to be sure the length of the table accommodates the legroom for both the end seats and the side seats...with no more than a 3" to 6" overlap. So, if you want a table to seat 6, you will need one a minimum of 6' long (12" end seat legroom + 24" seat + 24" seat + 12" end seat legroom = 72"). The 34" deep island your KD is suggesting will most likely not be deep enough (assuming it's table-height). Is this "island" fixed or portable/movable? I don't think I'd want a permanently fixed island in a nook like that!...See MoreSeating in breakfast nook?
Comments (6)I'd consider benches instead of banquettes, if you're going to do flexible things with the space. I grew up with a long table and two benches, plus chairs on the ends. As they say, you can always add one more sitter when you have a bench, esp kids. You can also take them out and add in chairs if situation changes. (Only problem with ours was that Dad designed them with the bench legs too far in from the end of the benches, so that if there was a lone sitter, she had to either sit well in from the end or hazard the possibility of being suddenly thrown downward while the opposite end of the bench headed for the ceiling.) Two short benches per side of a long table would have been better than one long bench, though--old people can't swing their legs over a bench and long benches are a pain when cleaning up--moving 'em for sweeping, etc. But they're very efficient seating....See MoreCurved Bench for Bay Window Breakfast Nook
