“There are two things to consider when designing a nook… comfort and practicality,” said Guillaume Dupre, Senior Designer at Bakes & Kropp Fine Cabinetry. “If it’s not comfortable, you’ve missed the point!”
Knocking that out means proper spacing and the right mood. “Ensure the seating is wide enough for people to nestle into, and for a dining nook, make sure it is high enough in relation to the tabletop. Lighting is another important factor for functionality. In these built-in reading nooks, sconces add a nice warm glow with an air of sophistication,” Dupre adds.
