Many homes do not have a separate area that can be called a breakfast nook and therefore do not have room for a permanent table and chairs. However, many families in this situation still want to eat in their kitchens because it is a hassle to use a formal dining room for every meal. This article will describe two alternatives that you can use to make your kitchen and eat in kitchen even if you do not have a breakfast nook.
The first option is a kitchen island cart. This eat at kitchen island can be stored out of the way and wheeled out when you are ready to sit down to a meal. These island carts are usually only large enough for two to three people to sit at comfortably. There will sometimes be a shelf or two underneath the table top to store things on. Sometimes the cart will have a drop leaf that you can raise when it is in use to fit more people. I have even seen kitchen island carts that store two stools underneath. This set up is perfect for a small family of two who do not have a lot of room in an apartment. You can store the cart with the stools under it and the leaf folded down when you are not eating and then wheel it out into any open space when you are ready to eat. It can also double as a serving cart if you drape a table cloth over it at parties.
The second option includes custom kitchen islands with seating already built in. The kitchen island has become a staple of any modern kitchen. The extra counter space it provides is an essential part of any efficient kitchen. The added benefit of an island is that it offers seating arrangements. There are a few characteristics that you should look for if you plan on using your kitchen island as your only kitchen seating. First, you want the counter to extend out away from the cabinet underneath it so that there is a place for your knees when you are sitting on a stool. Second, if you can build up a portion of the island higher than your working surface, then the place where you eat will be completely separate from where you prepare food.
