The room called a breakfast nook is usually a room with three walls located next to the kitchen. With one side of the room open to the kitchen, the other three walls typically have many windows allowing in lots of natural light. This room has many uses including, eating meals, doing homework, working on art projects, social gathering, or family meetings. Because of the diversity of the room you have to make sure that you have the best furniture for you needs. Depending on what you use the room for; you want to choose appropriate furniture.

When looking for furniture for your corner breakfast nook sets there are many choices. The most common choice for furniture in the breakfast nook is a breakfast nook set. Sets are usually made of a table and some kind of seating. These sets make purchasing furniture much easier because the chair or benches are already the right size for the table. In addition, the color and tone of the wood or paint is guaranteed to match. If you mix and match pieces from various sources it is not likely that they will match very well. Sets are a good choice for another reason which is that they can be made to fir unusual shapes. There are breakfast nook sets that can fit into a corner and sets that are made to fit an octagonal room exactly.

The most important piece of furniture for any breakfast nook is the table. The key is to choose a table that is as big as possible. Since you usually do not put any other furniture in the breakfast nook other than the table and chairs, you want to make sure that they fill the room. The decorating mood and impression of the room is influenced by the material the table is made out of. Your breakfast nook table should complement the decorating style of the rest of your home and in particular, your kitchen. If you have a country style and wooden cabinets in your kitchen, a wooden table is most appropriate. In contrast, if your decorating style is more modern, you want to choose something like a glass table with metal legs. No matter what your style, choose a breakfast nook table and chairs that is comfortable for you and your family.

The next most important choice is the seating arrangements. A common seating arrangement in breakfast nook sets is the bench. Benches are a good choice if you need to accommodate many people. You can typically fit more people on a bench than on chairs in the same amount of space. Benches are an excellent choice for families with children. The storage available under the seat sof many benches add another benefit. If you counters and abinets are cluttered, you can use this storage space for small kitchen appliances, linens, or even games and art supplies. Benches are not comfortable for everyone, so to accommodate all of your guests you should have a combination of benches and chairs. Also, chairs are more comfortable for larger individuals. Think about all the people who will be sitting there when choosing your breakfast nook seating.

While the table and chairs are the most important, there are other pieces of furniture people put in their breakfast nooks. Other possible pieces include a small thin table for plants or knick knacks, a floor lamp, or large potted plant. Whatever you choose to use in your eat-in kitchen, make sure that the space in comfortable and inviting.

Imagine stepping back in time, say one hundred years, and comparing our present world’s landscape full of lush forests, sparkling streams and rolling hillsides to that of yesteryear. Your reaction would most likely be one of disbelief. Little by little, our society has whittled away nearly every resource given us until the demented air quality and baroness has crept up without notice. While plenty of organizations and politicians voice their support of a new ‘green’ way of life, one company in the modern furnitures business has already sprung into action.

Founded in 2000, it did not take long for Dario Antonioni, founder and director of Orange22, to recognize the need for more than just another modern design manufacturer to service the private and public sector. Many prestigious artists and designers were called upon to come up with the ultimate in creativity and to provide not one, but two plans, relative to conservation of natural resources while serving the needs of mankind.

Leading Orange22 into a new society is a dedicated staff that have been challenged by using the ingenuity and creativity that they are known for. Armed with only their skills, providing solutions for traditional furnishings without harming the environment is a large feat in itself but these artists are going one step further. Fighting problems of social plight, such as cancer, AIDS and other worldwide problems are dreams that they have chosen to tackle.

To date, Orange22 has created an initial line of Botanist furniture, known as the Botanist Blank Canvas Project. A dynamic team of designers were hand picked by Dario Antonioni, Founder and Creative Director of Orange22, to leave their artistic mark on three pieces of clean modern furniture, a bench, coffee table and end table of the Blank Canvas Series. Each designer, together with Orange22, donates a portion of the royalty to a charity or foundation of their choice.

One of the most popular pieces, a design by Antonioni and Brandon Lynne, is the Botanical Floral Bench that merges the outdoors and the inside with its floral stencil lain to one side. Powder coated in a variety of colors, this piece can adorn a hallway, living space or patio interchangeably. Both environmentally friendly and lightweight, this example of the Blank Canvas Project is perfect for any setting.

Dario hopes that his doctrine of utilizing collaboration to create positive change will resonate beyond the design community, modern home furniture, and ultimately help to affect and inspire the greater global community. Orange22 has plans for Botanist in the future, as well. Antonioni is currently working on a book called A Decade of Botanist: A Philanthropic Product, 80 designers and 80 foundations and how we’ve helped change the world.
