breakfast nook idea: using a muted color palette.

Deep breaths everyone. I've strayed a little from my comfort zone and gone soft. To me, a breakfast nook is a space you drift over to half asleep and mostly hungry. Any sudden move or pop of color could create a hostile environment causing you to squint, snap or snarl. And no one wants that.

tip: Vary finishes and find a pattern with muted hues to bring visual interest without being overly bold.
