The dining room is often the center of activity in a modern home. This December, have you set up a formal dining room for family meals and special occasions like the holidays? Or do you consider it a waste of space because the table is rarely used? Some people agree that it is a waste of space, but they don’t want to use the space for anything else and then not be able to use it for a big dinner when the occasion comes.
Luckily, with the right space-saving dining table set, you don’t have to choose. You can use the table for everyday meals, and you can convert it to gain extra space when you’re hosting a larger group. Here are some space-saving dining table sets to consider:
Extendable Rectangular Wood Table
This is a beautiful table with a timeless aesthetic. Choose one made from high-quality wood for long-lasting performance and durability. The simple lines and clean design of this table would work great for a mid-century modern aesthetic, rustic design, or shabby chic farmhouse feel. The wood finish adds warmth and appeal.
This table seats four comfortably, making it a great choice for your everyday dining needs. However, when you want to host a larger group for a dinner party or holiday, this extendable dining table can be pulled out to comfortably seat six to eight people. Both ends of the table can be pulled out to accommodate inserts, instantly adding extra dining space.
Coffee tables that double as dining tables are great space-saving furniture, eliminating the need for a fixed dining table by still using it as a compact coffee table in your living room until you adapt it to dining mode.
Console tables that double as dining tables can be hidden in the wall, behind the sofa, or as a compact office desk. Console tables metamorphose into much larger tables. If you live in a small apartment, a space-saving table will make your living room feel much larger with more open space to move around.
Of course, no classy, space-saving table would be complete without comfortable upholstered chairs, perfect for those long, late-night meals. Not sure if you want to upgrade to a larger table?
