A common problem these days is that so much time, money and effort is invested into the formal dining room; a space that rarely gets used.
Even for those who entertain regularly, not ever gathering is likely to be a formal dinner party. So, we usually end up with a large, beautiful space that we tend to ignore.
Meanwhile, the breakfast table or common eating area is often neglected and basic in design.
The space in our homes is far too precious to waste. As with a number of modern furnishings, there are pieces that can multi-task and solve our design dilemmas.
The Counter Height Set by Coaster is such a piece. This dining set has features perfectly suited for both casual and formal dining. The oak veneers with a rich cappucino finish infuse the set with elegance while the counter height and mixed seating keeps things from being too formal.
If it’s possible to serve all of your dining needs with one set of furniture, why not maximize the rarely-used space in your home and use it for another purpose? A library or an office would work well in the space.
Unless you throw dinner parties on a regular basis, consider re-purposing the room to fit what it is that you do.
