A Contemporary Breakfast Nook with a Playful Mix of Pattern and Shape
In today’s Get the Look, we’re featuring a breakfast nook that’s cozy, layered, and a little bit fun. The focal point starts with a caramel channel-tufted banquette that anchors the space, balanced by sculptural wood chairs with graphic black-and-cream stripes.
The pedestal table echoes the rounded details of the chairs, while the artwork pulls in the striped motif and introduces subtle pops of color. A grid-patterned rug adds another layer of pattern, but in a quiet, understated way. Overall, the mix of pattern and shape keeps the space interesting, while the neutral palette keeps it grounded.
Keep reading to shop the pieces and bring this warm, collected aesthetic into your own space.

01. | Dining Banquette
Joss & Main | Brandt Bench & Dining Banquette
This channel-tufted bench is one of those pieces that instantly makes a nook feel custom. The vertical tufting adds just the right amount of texture, and the upholstered seat makes it genuinely comfortable for everyday use. I especially love that it seats three comfortably and has a solid weight capacity, so it feels substantial and well-made. It’s a practical choice, but it doesn’t sacrifice style.
“This product is my dream come true. It looks so high-end in my newly remodeled kitchen. It is durable and does not stain easily. It is absolutely one of the best products I’ve purchased. Comfortable too! ~Joss & Main Customer
02. | Sculptural Walnut Wood Dining Table
Lulu & Georgia | Beasley Round Dining Table
This table caught my eye for its sculptural base. The tapered, rounded legs feel modern but still warm, and the deep cocoa finish adds so much richness to the room. It’s one of those pieces that quietly elevates everything around it.
03. | Striped Dining Chair
Wayfair | Kenyatta Bol Sant Dining Chair
These chairs are such a fun contrast in the space. I love the subtle wave detail along the back, which softens the look and keeps the silhouette from feeling too rigid. The rounded accents on the legs add a playful touch and mimic the dining table. They feel modern, but not stark, which is exactly what this nook needed.
“I am OBSESSED! I had been eyeing this chair for a while and finally purchased it. It was well wrapped and very easy to assemble. ~Jonae
04. | Antique Brass Chandelier
Etsy | Antique Brass Chandelier
Lighting can completely change the mood of a space, and this four-arm pendant does exactly that. The antique brass adds warmth, while the wide, shallow shades keep the profile clean and sculptural. It gives off a soft, diffused glow that makes the entire nook feel cozy without overwhelming the room.
“The lamp is beautiful and the customer service exceeded my expectations. Very responsive and helpful. Will be buying from this shop again.” ~Melanie
05. | Beige Grid Rug
Wayfair | Mosaic Wool Geometric Rug
I chose this rug for the subtle grid detail and neutral tones. Which adds extra pattern in a subtle way, balancing all the curves in the furniture without competing for attention. The warm neutral tone keeps the space feeling calm, and the washable wool construction makes it practical for everyday life.
06. | Wavy Wall Mirror
All Modern | Wavy Wood Wall Mirror
What makes this mirror special is the wavy silhouette across the top. It brings in just enough curve to echo the rounded details in the space, while the rich wood frame keeps everything feeling warm and cohesive. It’s playful, but still polished.
“I love this solid wood wavy mirror! Its such sturdy and solid wood that I have no fears of it falling over. I love it where it is and will enjoy it for many years. Its so beautiful!” ~Brittany
07. | Decorative Marble Bowl
CB2 | Orcino Marble Fruit Bowl
I love the pedestal silhouette of this marble bowl. It adds height and a sculptural element to the table, while the warm veining keeps it cohesive with the wood tones in the room. It works just as well styled empty as it does filled with fruit.
“It looks elegant and expensive. The size is just about right for what we need as a fruit tray – we absolutely love it!” ~Evan
08. | Ceramic Vase
Crate & Barrel | Curvy Ribbed Ceramic Vase
This vase feels like a sculptural piece all on its own. Made in Portugal and finished by hand, the creamy glaze keeps it neutral and timeless, while the subtle ribbing and curved silhouette gives it so much character. Beautiful with fresh stems, but just as striking styled empty.
“Love this vase it is beautiful, goes perfect with the flowers I also ordered. Very happy with my purchase.” ~Sylvia
09. | Faux Stems
Crate & Barrel | Faux Sedum Stems
I love using faux stems like this to add depth and color without committing to fresh florals. These sedum stems add the perfect touch of organic texture and warmth. The deep red tones feel especially rich against the neutral backdrop, and the height keeps the arrangement feeling airy. I love that they look natural but require zero maintenance.
10. | Unique Artwork
Emma Martin |”Waiting”
I’m always drawn to Emma Martin’s, hand-painted figures and warm, earthy palette. The oversized silhouettes and playful proportions add personality, while the muted tones of this particular piece keep everything feeling cohesive with the caramel and wood tones.
This exact piece has been sold, but she has many others in a similar style that would create the same impact. It’s that balance of whimsy and restraint that makes her work such a great fit for this nook.
11. | Colorful Art Print
The Roost | Pears In Black & White Bowl
I love Frankie Penwill’s playful, graphic style. Her bold stripes and simplified forms bring a modern, almost whimsical feel, while the warm, earthy palette keeps everything grounded. In this nook, the striped detailing subtly echoes the chairs and rug, adding personality without overwhelming the space. It’s the perfect piece that feels expressive but still cohesive.
