A Bright and Pretty Breakfast Nook

Decorate your eat-in kitchen so even casual meals feel special. The look begins with a neutral dining set. Here, we've paired a white pedestal table with clear "ghost" chairs that nearly disappear. Plush bench seating is casual and easy, especially for kids. Layer lots of cushy pillows—the bigger, the better—in fresh colors, such as yellow and aqua.

Set the table with essentials we all have on hand, such as white plates, a glass pitcher, and silverware. A few fun extras, such as eye-catching votive candle holders, bright napkins, and colorful footed bowls finish the look.
