If you live in an apartment or a tiny home, finding a place where you sit down and enjoy a meal can be a challenging task but having a stylish dining room is also important. With a few styles, you can choose a small dining space that can fit easily into the rest of your house. In the spirit of “good things come in small packages,” here are a few ideas that can help you plan your dining area.
Get a round table
A round dining table is a great solution for a smaller room and it may go well with small gatherings. Conversations during dinner are easier to carry on, and it can turn a corner into an elegant dining space.
Flip out the dinner table
Growing up, all the activities happened at the dining table — whether it is studying, eating, or having late-night conversations with family members. To set a dining table in a tiny house, you can use a sleek table that can easily fold out at dinner time.
Use walls
Placing the dining table against the wall frees up space for walking in this slight dining area. You can store folding chairs on the opposite wall so that guests can easily grab them when they arrive.
Choose dual-purpose furniture
In case, if you have limited space and either you can make a dining space or a workspace, then no need to worry. You can get both spaces easily with a pretty oak desk.
Use a bench
Unlike chairs, you can use the bench for seating purposes as it is helpful in maximizing the seating space and it can tuck completely when it is not in use.
Employ a mirror
Use a mirror to make your smaller room seem bigger. A mirror’s reflection is the best idea for faking extra dining space, and it bounces light around the dining room to make it seem bigger.
Create a booth
A clever set-up can make enough seating space for an entire family in a dining room. Use a booth-type seating space which offers hidden storage under the seats.
