Picture grand dining rooms large enough to seat 8 or more people, elegantly designed with ornate features and surrounded by credenzas and armoires where the finest china is stored.
As wonderful as that is to imagine, it’s hardly reality for most of us.
While we may like to have a similar set up, it requires an abundance of space that isn’t always available.
But that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice in order to set up your dining room.
There are a number of options available to outfit small dining rooms and breakfast areas to the point where you won’t even feel like you’re missing anything:
Here are a couple:
Go Round
When space is tight, go for a round dining room set like the Slauson Round Dining Collection by Coaster. Round setups allow you to take advantage of smaller spaces by moving them closer to corners and still being function.
Round dining sets also allow you to create more of an open feel throughout the room by placing the table in the center of the room and increasing the flow around it.
Mix and Match
For breakfast nook areas, feel free to keep it casual by arranging various seating elements like benches, chairs and banquettes. As long as the pieces fit your home’s overall design theme, the mix-and-match vibe will encourage a relaxed setting.
