The only thing better than a hot drink corner in your kitchen is a coffee corner that's only a couple steps away from a sunny table at which you can enjoy your beverage. This cottage-style kitchen has just that, featuring a beautiful white hutch with baskets, mug hooks and some great vintage details, only a few steps from a summery white nook.

Even the decor reflects the yellow/aqua/black/white scheme, creating a breakfast nook that's a bright and elegant setting for your morning routine.
