Small Space Dining Solutions
Narrow it Down
For many, a traditional rectangular dining room table is almost an automatic choice since they often seat more than four people. While working with a small space, you can still go rectangular with a slimline table! A width between 35” to 42” will provide plenty of seating room. If you can’t fit every dish on the tabletop, consider placing the food on a sideboard so guests can help themselves before taking a seat!
Go Round
When you’re low on square footage, a roundtable offers the perfect solution for tight corners. Tapered table legs enhance the flow of the room, especially when paired with armless dining chairs. Not to mention, a round dining table is perfect for smaller gatherings; making the setting feel more cozy and intimate.
