10 Clever Ways to Make the Most of a Small Dining Room

Even the tightest corner can feel like a banquet hall. (Well, almost.)

Small Dining Room Ideas

1 of 10

Flip Out

Apartment living generally devotes little more than a wall to eating. To make a dining room appear magically before her eyes, this homeowner installed a a sleek table that easily folds out at mealtimes.

Use Walls Wisely

Often considered a design no-no in other rooms, placing furniture against the wall frees up space for walking in this narrow dining area. Folding chairs stored neatly on the opposite wall can easily be grabbed when company arrives.

Choose Shelves Instead of a Cabinet

China cabinets or sideboards are lovely, but their bulk can dominate a room and uses space inefficiently. Floating shelves, on the other hand, can be customized to fit your needs (fill the whole wall with them, if you like!) and offer more flexible storage than standalone pieces.

Build in Seating and Shelves

Both built-in bookcases and banquettes are meant to be directly next to the wall, offering as much seating, storage, and open floor space as possible — so when combined, they're a like small dining room superhero.

Choose Dual-Purpose Furniture

If you had to sacrfice part of your dining room to your workspace, get the best of both worlds with a pretty desk. For parties, this blogger clears off this stately oak piece to use as a buffet.

Get a Bench

Unlike chairs, a bench can seat more than one person (a handful of kids, if you're lucky!) and tucks completely out of the way when not in use.

Invest in a Mirror

Employ this bit of visual trickery to make any small room seem bigger: A mirror's reflection is great at faking extra space, and bounces light around the room to make it seem airier.

Collect Matching Dinnerware

SHAPE MATTERS

Circular tables are good for conversation and feel more inclusive, making it easier to talk not just to your immediate neighbours but everyone. Square and rectangular tables will line up neatly with other furniture and can be pushed against the wall if you need space, for a party, for example.

SIZE IT UP

As a rule of thumb, a square table measuring 90cm x 90cm, or a 90cm diameter circular one, will seat four people snugly. For six people, a rectangular 150cm x 90cm table, or a circular 130cm diameter design will work. For eight people, allow a table of 200cm x 100cm, or 150cm diameter.

Get the right size of table for the space. When you've found a table you like, and before you buy, check if it will work in your space. Cut and stick together sheets of newspaper to the size of your table, and lay the template on the floor to give you a sense of how it will fit. Remember you'll need around 60-90cm from the table edge to the nearest wall/piece of furniture, and if you can spare 100cm there will be even more room for people to walk behind seated diners.

Consider tables that can be extended if you like to have a big crowd over. Gateleg tables, which have a flap or flaps that fold down, are perfect for compact rooms. Check that there's enough space when at its maximum size.

TWICE THE VALUE

If your table will double as an eating and working space, you'll need one with a practical, hardwearing surface. For instance, a design with a top that can be re-oiled or painted would be better than a lacquered one.

How Do You Choose the Best Color for a Room?

Abigail Batchelder/Flickr

More than furniture, lighting or anything else, paint can make or break the design of the room. Unlike buying a new rug or moving around chairs, it's also time-consuming, so you want to get things right the first time. This guide will show you how to choose a color for any room in your house to bring out the full potential of the space.

Figure Out What Mood You're Going for in the Room

What mood are you going for in the room? Light and cheery? Moody and soulful? Bold and loud? People expect certain moods when they walk into a room, and paint color can help you achieve the feeling you want. Black or dark grey rooms feel dramatic and cozy. Soft, yellow rooms feel peaceful and cheery. Think of the colors that evoke the moods that you're trying to go for, and start with those.

Get the Best Quality Paint You Can Find

You may think that choosing the cheapest paint will save you money, since you can buy less for more if you end up underestimating how much you need. However, cheap paint doesn't adhere well to walls, meaning that you'll need and to use more cans of paint to get a halfway decent coat on the wall. Choose a good quality paint toget deep, rich color that goes on easily.

Look at Your Interior Design Style

Check out the rest of the room, and take note of your furnishings. Choose paint that flatters and complements your design style. Contemporary spaces look amazing with bright, white walls that show off the sleek lines of the furnishings and art pieces, while warmer, antique whites beautifully envelope classically decorated rooms. Pale blues and soft grays are perfect in quiet, cozy rooms like baby rooms and dens.

Look at Your Fashion Sense

You already have a look; it's in full effect every time you step out of your home. The colors you choose to wear are a good indicator of the types of colors you'd enjoy seeing on your walls. If you're a minimalist dresser cloaked in grays and whites, you'd probably appreciate a more neutral paint palette. If you're someone who enjoys vibrant, colorful clothes, you'd probably be open to having brightly colored walls.

Go Bolder With an Accent Wall

If you love lime green to bits, but you're afraid of having a lime green den, paint one of the walls in the room that color. You'll be able to get your beautiful color without feeling like you're being overwhelmed. Don't forget to test a tiny portion out first to make sure that you've got the exact paint you're looking for.

How to Calculate the Best Table Size for Your Dining Room

ErikaWittlieb/CC0/Pixabay

Congratulations on your decision to get a new dining room table. Choosing a new style of table can change the whole vibe in your dining area. It's important to choose a table that fits the size of your room so there's room for everyone to walk around. Taking the time to measure the size of your dining room and comparing your open floor space to standard table sizes can help you choose a piece of furniture that's a good fit for your home.

Determine the Size of Your Dining Area

Hook the end of a tape measure to something solid against the wall, like the door trim, or have a helper hold the end against the wall. Measure all the way across the room to the opposite wall. Make a note of this size, and then repeat the measuring process on the other two walls in the room. Multiply the two numbers together to determine the size of the room in square feet. If you're choosing a dining table for a room in a house with an open floor plan, measure to the edge of the area where you want the dining area to end.

Draw the Room

Sketch the room on a sheet of grid paper or enter the dimensions in a 3D room layout planning tool. While a larger open space around the table gives a room a casual, airy feeling, allow a minimum of three feet around the perimeter of the room for walking space. The remaining space in the center of the room is the maximum to allow for a dining table. It's easier to fit a small table into a large room than it is to crowd an oversized table into a tiny room. If you have extra floor space available after placing your dining table, you can adjust the way it's positioned in the room to enhance the flow of foot traffic and increase visual appeal.

Consider Decor Elements Around the Room's Outer Edge

Some pieces of furniture are big enough they're hard to move, making them almost a permanent part of your floor plan. If there are other large furnishings around the outer edge of the room, such as a hutch or curio cabinet, be sure to include the dimensions of those items in your sketch and in your calculations.

The Role of Table Top Shapes in Choosing Table Size

This is a tip you may see at play if you look closely at tabletops for restaurants. This is because restaurant tables are often packed in snugly to provide seating for as many patrons as possible. When space is at a premium — for example if you have a small dining area and can't arrange it to leave floor space around the table — consider a round or oval table. The rounded edges of the tabletop can allow for foot traffic.

Consider a Table That Has a Leaf

Choosing a table that has a leaf is one easy way to accommodate an occasional large group while enjoying the coziness of a small table. Just add the leaf when guests are coming over and remove it when there's a smaller group present. Floor space may be tied up with the leaf is installed, but it's also freed up when you restore the table to its smaller leaf-free size.
