How to Make a Small Dining Room Look Spacious
5 tips to make the most of your small dining room
Living in an apartment or a smaller home usually means having limited space in your dining room. But there are ways to make a small dining room look spacious with the right furniture and decor. Here are 5 ways to make your little dining room look and feel more spacious.
1. Pick out a dining table that suits your space and style
Many dining room tables will look great in a small dining room. Depending on how small your space is, you may want to go with a four-seater set like this beautiful round Hooker table from Feige’s Interiors. Consider pairing it with these matching old world Italian style chairs, which are available in 3 different finishes.
2. Use your kitchen island as a table with some barstools
Do you have a kitchen island that is suitable for barstools? You may be able to skip the dining room table altogether and use your island as a table instead. This will save plenty of space and still look great with the right barstools. Consider these modern-contemporary barstool chairs by Stickley that come in cherry and oak finishes. These barstools would be the perfect touch to any contemporary-style home.
3. Hang a mirror to create the illusion of more space
If there is space on your dining room wall to add some decor items, a mirror is a perfect thing to create the illusion of more space for your small dining room. The larger the mirror, the better. Choose one that goes with your furniture and decor theme and hang it at eye level, preferably centered with your dining room table, so that it becomes the focal point of your wall.
4. Use a small sideboard cabinet for your small space dining set
Do you have some room in your dining area for a storage/display cabinet? This buffet table by Hooker is perfect to fit in smaller areas. Because of its shape and size, it takes up minimal space while adding such a great touch to your dining room. It’s also a practical choice for smaller homes because it can store your dining sets inside and display pictures and other decor items on top.
5. Add an area rug
Adding an area rug to your dining room is a great way to define your space. Typically, an area rug for your dining room will fit correctly underneath your dining room table and chairs. When shopping for a carpet, make sure you measure your space first and pick out the perfect size. This Stickley rug would look lovely in any dining room.
