Family Fun with a Kitchen
Corner Nook
A kitchen corner nook was once the staple of every kitchen where a
person could grab a quick bite. This was the ideal place when a person
could have a small snack or feed the children while on the go. They
were meant to serve a purpose for the family, while the more elaborate
dining rooms were reserved for special occasions and get togethers.
The style Of the Kitchen corner nook is coming back All of a sudden,
the Kitchen corner nook is becoming a trend once again and people want
the cozy feeling that this has to offer. Even with the modern hearth
style cooking now, people are looking forward to building a nook.
Actually it is quite simple to build the Kitchen corner nook and can be
built with the help of everyone’s creative talents as well.
The
Kitchen corner nook can serve the purpose for quick meals, a small
gossip session in the afternoon and can also serve as a storage area
for small things.
Building
the nook
The Kitchen corner nook can be fitted in a niche or corner. The area
should be enclosed by at least 2 walls if not three walls. This can
incorporate booth style benches with a table. The seats for the
furniture should be at least 12 inches deep and the back should be at
least 4 inches deep. Once the seats have been planned, ensure that
there is ample space for the table to fit in your Kitchen corner nook.
The shape of the table can be oblong, square or shaped like a quarter
of a pie.
The benches also known as banquettes should be constructed out of 2 X 4
lumber and should be built before you construct the table. The end
panels of the banquettes should be constructed out of 3/8 or more
thicker plywood. You can choose to buy a table or even build a table.
For giving a look and character to your Kitchen corner nook, add some
trimmings to the banquette and the tables. Paint it in the colors of
your kitchen.
Now all you need to do is invite some people over and have fun with
your Kitchen corner nook. This is one place that is usually most used
by children and their friends. You can supervise homework, catch up
with your friends while cooking dinner and have a quite conversation
with your partner.
