Anyone who knows me knows I hate practicality. The word practical has always implied, for me, something that is “good” for you (think spinach and sensible shoes). But I confess there are certain areas of the home where practicality is necessary, the breakfast room being one of them. I’m pondering this because my breakfast room is ready for a makeover and, of course, my design compass is set for glamorous, but the reality is that it needs to stand up to the abuses of a 16 year old teenage boy and his friends.
With that in mind, On Madison has assembled a montage of breakfast rooms that will stand up to your daily grind while looking fabulous at the same time. See our inspiration images and shop the looks below!
