10 Small Dining Room Ideas
- Make an impact- Don’t stay away from bold colors or accents. Bring in a fun wallpaper, light fixture or wall art to add punch to your small space.
- Think outside the box- Replace your square or rectangular table with a circle or oval to cut corners and add more room.
- Streamlined Seating- 6 or 8 seats that don’t take up the whole space. They fit nicely under the table but are comfortable to sit for a long dinner.
- Versatile Dining Table- the days of only for formal dining are over and these tables are used for school projects or work from home makeshift offices.
- Bring in a bench- your guests will stay later for another helping of desert. A bench on the wall or corner can also help with space.
- Statement Lighting- The dining room doesn’t really need task lighting, so that can be a statement piece in your room.
- ….at the right scale- Oversized chandelier is nice, but don’t go more than half the size of your table.
- Storage- Trying to find inventive ways to add storage to a small space can be tricky, but necessary. A lidded bench with secret storage, a built in wet bar in a corner, or using those small nooks to add storage is a great space saver.
- Vertical Potential- Allow your eye to travel up and use that space for storage or making that impact to display your favorite serving platters or glass ware.
- Get Reflective- mirrors around the room help reflect the light from other places and make the room feel larger.
