If you live in a warm climate or experience warm seasons, enjoying a quiet breakfast in nature can truly brighten your day. This is where a garden breakfast nook can become the perfect addition to your backyard. A small project like this is ideal for DIY work on a budget. Start by finding or creating a secluded spot in your backyard or garden, and build at least a bench there. Add some outdoor pillows and cushions, and you’re all set. To take it a step further, you can build an arbor nook around the bench or add a simple roof over it. Consider a minimalist pergola or an enclosure made from lattice panels. Alternatively, your house’s exterior might already have a niche that could be transformed into a cozy breakfast nook. Whichever option you choose, finishing your DIY nook with colorful cushions, blankets, or even painted stepping stones and LED lights will add the perfect finishing touches. You’re going to love your backyard even more!
