Consider colors when placing items on your breakfast board. Mixing in ideal colors like red, pink and white will help everything feel cohesive and really pretty.
Nothing makes breakfast taste phenomenally better than a small bowl of whipped cream; because it brings a cloud of soft, airy fluff to everything and tastes delectable, with just a little sweetness, but not too sweet.
Chocolate-covered strawberries may seem quite fancy, but they take almost no effort and are a great way for guests to feel like you have elevated the board.
They can be prepared the night before and placed onto the board the morning of the breakfast.
Do not forget about putting pastries on the board; either croissants or mini pastries can help give that bakery feeling to this small board.
Flaky, buttery pastries, will always help a breakfast spread feel very special, simply because we all love getting breakfast baked treats from the local cafe.
Combine the soft and crunchy textures. Pancakes are fluffy, and bacon is crispy, so introduce contrast of crunch into the board with a little granola – this will make the board feel more interesting to eat.
You can do a final little sprinkle of powdered sugar or edible glitter to the board. It is a tiny touch, but the result is bakery level with little to no stress.
Don’t forget a little bowl of mixed nuts or granola for crunch! It balances everything soft and sweet on the breakfast board.
Taking it up a notch; a tiny jar of Nutella or a jar of chocolate spread, makes that meal have that extra rich, sweetness to complement the fruit, waffles, or simply top on toast.
Add marshmallows for a fun, playful element! They are unexpected on a breakfast board and make everything feel more special.
Fresh flowers or rose petals can also be included to give the board a romantic, soft touch. It doesn’t take much effort to add flowers off to the side of the breakfast board and instantly feels special!
A small dish of maple syrup or honey completes the breakfast board and gives people options instead of it all feeling plain.

Place some parchment paper, or a doily, under a section of the board for a more subtle, pretty background. It ties the whole board together and elevates the overall feel without much effort.

Heart-shaped toast is a fun touch — you can cut the bread into hearts and top it with butter, jam or even cream cheese.
Sliced bananas work great as a filler because they are easy and inexpensive. You can even cut tiny hearts out of them if you want to be very creative.

Rather than having everything spread out randomly, line items up in little clusters or piles. It looks more put together and easier to grab from.
Add little love notes or tiny flags that say “love” or “xoxo” to the breakfast board. It’s just a tiny detail, but it makes everything feel a bit more thought out.
