Small Dining Room Ideas: Maximize Limited Space
Design: Velinda Hellen, Photo: Veronica Crawford
Space is a state of mind, but if you lack physical square footage, all you need are a few space-saving tricks to make up for it. If you've resorted to cuddling up on the couch with a TV dinner night after night, allow us to inspire you to turn even the smallest amount of unused space into a formal dining room. Ahead, 20 tiny dining rooms that prove even a studio apartment deserves a designated area for candle-lit dinners and early-morning coffee breaks.
01 of 20
The truth is, you really don't even need a dining space to have a place to enjoy meals.
Some unused kitchen-counter space can also double as a place to dine. However, if you like putting labels on things, you can create some separation by decking out the base of your counter to fake the look of an actual dining table. Even renters can copy this pink tile look with a peel-and-stick backsplash.
02 of 20
If you have a window in your dining room, you'll love the feeling of enjoying your morning coffee, while soaking in the views. Pushing your squared dining table up against a window or wall is the quickest way to save space, and the best part is you can scoot the table out when you're entertaining guests and back in after they leave.
03 of 20
If you don't have a window, go the extra step and mount a tiny table onto an empty wall. It makes for a cute little breakfast (and lunch, and dinner) nook and barely takes up any space.
04 of 20
When furnishing your small dining room, opt for minimal stools without arms to save space. And while you're at it, pair your stools with a dining table and accents that mimic the same minimal design.
05 of 20
Sometimes the most difficult part about creating a dining room with limited square footage is establishing it as its own space. Hanging a pendant lamp over your dining table will quite literally give it the spotlight it deserves. Doing so will create a much-needed separation from other areas, making it its own established space with its own purpose.
06 of 20
Another way to establish a clear separation between your tiny dining room and your living room is to position your table and chairs on a rug. Hang up a photo on the wall and dress up your table with fresh flowers and a candle, and you'll be transported to a French bistro in no time.
07 of 20
On the flip side, you can position the rug in the living room and use the negative space as the perfect placement for your dining area. Again, the goal is just to create separation.
08 of 20
If you're working with a studio apartment or an open concept layout, a bookcase creates a cute breakfast nook, while also doubling as added storage.
It's a win-win.
09 of 20
There's no such thing as a smaller table with a bigger impact than the classic bistro table. This minimal black and marble-top table feels modern and will make your kitchen the most Instagrammable spot in town.
10 of 20
No matter how small your apartment is, there's always room for a place to enjoy a meal. If you have an empty wall, you can mount a shelf that doubles as a dining table. Pull up some stools and you've got yourself a space to dine.
11 of 20
One of our favorite ways to save space is installing corner-bench seating in a breakfast nook. And the best part is if done correctly, the bench can also double as extra storage.
12 of 20
And even if you don't have an entire corner to spare, you can opt for a single bench. Two added French bistro chairs create the perfect setting for morning cappuccinos.
13 of 20
The name of the game when working with small spaces is multifunctional. Placing a larger table in the kitchen not only works as a dining room, but it double duties as a functional kitchen island as well. Pull up some chairs and you have a place to entertain in the place that matters the most.
14 of 20
No matter how small (or big) a space, it can benefit from a large wall mirror. The reflection gives the illusion that the room is larger than it really is. We love how the mirrored pendant lamps add even more sparkle.
15 of 20
This tiny house is proof that you can fit a dining room in even the smallest of spaces. The upholstered bench seating is the perfect place to curl up with a good book on a rainy afternoon. Now, add in a table and you can spend every meal here too.
16 of 20
If you're in need of extra seating, opt for a round table design rather than a square shape. Without corners getting in the way, you'll be able to fit more chairs comfortably.
17 of 20
Just because you're working with a small dining space, doesn't mean it doesn't deserve the attention you give to more larger rooms in your home. A custom mural, a new light fixture, and some greenery will make your tiny dining room look and feel like a significant space.
18 of 20
With the right color combo and a built-in nook, your breakfast bistro setup won't even feel small. This cute kitchen proves quality always reigns supreme over quantity.
19 of 20
Sometimes the best tool for combating a small space is a minimal color palette. Working with bright whites and a hint of natural décor accents will give the illusion of a larger room. Looking at this light and airy kitchen, you wouldn't even notice that it's lacking in space.
20 of 20
This dining room checks all the small-space decorating boxes. The bench seating along the wall, a round table, dedicated overhead lighting—it all works together to make the most of the limited square footage. And the best part is it doesn't lack on style one bit.

The dining room plays a key role in the organization of everyday life. Unfortunately, in many modern projects, a small space is allocated for the kitchen, so it is not always possible to organize a dining room. A competent approach to home improvement will allow you to allocate a place in it for a dining room, even if not in the kitchen. Then the matter remains small: to create a harmonious interior design of the dining room. The dining area should fit into the overall style concept of the room and at the same time be comfortable, practical, beautiful. Consider options for arranging a dining room in a modern house / apartment.
Kitchen combination
The most common option for the location of the dining area is its combination with the kitchen. Some argue their choice by the fact that cooked food is much easier to serve immediately after cooking than to carry it to another room. Others strive for maximum space savings, therefore they consider this combination to be the most successful. One way or another, for space zoning, you can use various design solutions, for example: installing a multi-level ceiling or an arched passage between zones. The steps between the dining room and the kitchen look very original. As finishing materials, you can choose wood, ceramic tiles or wallpaper, depending on the basic design of the kitchen. By the way, in the studio apartments that are gaining popularity, where all the rooms are combined, it is much easier to organize a dining segment.
Dining and living room
This version of the dining room interior is no less practical than the previous one. At the end of the meal, you can move to the living room area to continue the banquet or a pleasant family vacation. Of course, such a combination also requires competent zoning of space. To separate the living room and dining room, it is preferable to use furniture, shelving or partitions. Such a decorative element as an aquarium looks impressive. Don't forget about lighting. So, in the living room you can place a stylish floor lamp or built-in LED lights, and for the dining area it is better to choose a hanging chandelier that will provide full lighting.
Dining room as a separate room
The ideal option is to allocate a separate room for a dining room. In such cases, the design of the dining room requires the deepest study to create a single, complete image of the room. First of all, you need to decide on the style of the dining room, because both the color scheme and the choice of furniture and decorative elements depend on it. To best fit the dining room into the overall interior of the house, consider a variety of diverse design projects. There are many photos of the interior of the dining room on the Internet, which will help you choose the optimal design for a room of any size and configuration.

Interior design of a dining room in a private house, apartment
A separate dining room in the interior design of a house seems to us an innovation. In fact, this is a well-forgotten old one. During the Soviet period, apartments appeared with small kitchens, in which there was no place for a full-fledged dining room. Until the 19th century, having a separate dining area was considered a sign of good taste.
Project by Veronika Solovieva
Canteen location options
Dining room - a room in the house intended for eating. Traditionally for today's society, it's just a table with chairs somewhere in the corner, in the kitchen. This part of the house is unfairly deprived of attention in design. After all, it also carries a certain functionality.
The interior of the dining room reflects the owner's lifestyle and habits. Therefore, according to the location in the house can be divided into:
- separate dining room,
- kitchen and dining room,
- kitchen-living room with dining area.
Project by Darya Bikunova
Separate dining room
In the Middle Ages, a whole floor in the house was given over to the dining room to show the status of the owner. Now they do it for their convenience and allocate one room. Such an idea is suitable for interior design of a dining room in a private house or provided that the apartment has extra square meters. The advantage is that you can receive a large number of guests and effectively set the table. Minus: most likely, the dining room will be used only for special occasions or Sunday dinners.
A separate room is a great option if you often receive guests and you need a solemn atmosphere for a reception. And also if it is customary in your family to gather at a common table for every meal.
Project by Veronika Solovieva
Kitchen-dining room
The most common arrangement type. Traditionally, the kitchen simply allocates space for a dining group. This is a way out for owners of small-sized housing. Two rooms unite and zone the space.
Suitable for those who like to cook and gather the whole family around the table for everyday meals or who do not have the opportunity to separate the dining room. The kitchen-dining room is made in interiors for small families who need a small dining area.
Project by Olga Dorokhova
Kitchen-living room with dining area
The design combines the functions of cooking, eating and relaxing. In a private house or apartment, it is possible by demolishing a wall or combining it in one space.
In such a room you can hold sumptuous feasts, fun parties. You don’t need to sit at the table all the celebration, you can sit on a soft sofa and at the same time remain in the company. For large families, this is a great way to combine life and communication with children. Of the minuses: it will not be possible to retire in the living room and a mess in one place means a mess everywhere.
Project by Evgeny and Maria Latyshev
Organization of the dining room
At first it might seem that you can't think of anything interesting in the design of the dining room. Set up a table with chairs and you're done. A common mistake is not to pay attention to this zone. It has the same function as all the others. Let it not play a major role in the interior, but it is the final touch in a harmonious design. The wrong style of furniture or its placement can spoil the whole picture. Therefore, we will analyze the components of a successful project in an apartment and a private house.
Project by Inna Malova
Planning decision
The concept of the dining room and its appearance depend on this. Determine its location according to your needs. If this is a separate room, then you can choose any style. If combined with a kitchen or living room, make the same design.
Any combination of functions in one place implies zoning. For this technique, you can use both partitions and furniture. It is not necessary to completely demolish the wall during redevelopment. You can make an open opening, which will add air and space, but at the same time there will be separation.
In the kitchen-living room place the dining group between the cooking and rest areas. So much more practical. If a private house has a panoramic wall with access to the terrace, place a table in front of it. It will turn out very atmospheric and unusual.
Project by Maxim Lapshin and Maria Kosolapova
It's a good idea to make a dining room in the hall. This is especially true for apartments with a small kitchen.
With limited square meters, the dining area can be placed in a corner and linear version. Instead of a window sill, make a tabletop with bar stools. On one side of the table, put a bench or original bench. This will increase the number of places for guests. In larger rooms or a private house, you can install a table in the center of the room. Add a bar counter, an island or a U-shaped kitchen set, which is convenient for breakfast and snacks.
Project by Inessa Ternova
Finishes and colors
The dining room is considered a residential area, so there are no restrictions on the choice of materials for design. Except when it's a small kitchen and the wet area is very close. Then ceramic tiles and thick vinyl wallpapers on non-woven base are suitable.
The finish depends on the chosen style and color scheme. In a separate room, walls in one tone look spectacular, and accents can be made with decor and furniture. Most often, the table is in the middle, which already stands out.
Use different textures and colors for zoning united rooms. The dining area can be distinguished by wallpaper, decorative brick, plaster or clapboard. The table against the background of such a wall looks original.
Project by Artem Gorenechev
Lighting
Light is one of the methods of zoning. He is also able to increase the space, change colors, highlight interesting textures. The dining room needs proper lighting.
The light should be soft and slightly subdued. Enough lamps with a power of 50W.
The ideal spot for lighting fixtures is above the dining table. Designers advise hanging at a distance of 170 cm from the floor or 70 cm from the countertop. This arrangement will not interfere and shine directly into the eyes. If you are building a private house for yourself, then be sure to design natural lighting.
Project by Marina Trach
Dining room furniture
Of course, the main objects of the dining room are the dining table and chairs. The most popular table options are round and long rectangular. They are often found in private homes. For small spaces, choose oval and corner. There are also semicircular models with one straight edge that is attached to the wall.
An island or a peninsula, a bar counter, in continuation of the worktop or instead of a window sill, are suitable for the kitchen-dining room.
Made of materials, wood is a classic. Modern styles use glass and plastic. For luxurious designs, stone countertops are also available.
The transforming table is convenient for large companies. If the area allows, the dining group is best placed in the center. This will provide free access to the table from all sides. For a small kitchen, a good option is a window seat.
Project by Maxim Lapshin and Maria Kosolapova
Dining room chairs are not only functional furniture, but decor. If square meters allow, you can choose massive chairs, with armrests or semi-chairs. Banquettes and ottomans give uniqueness to design.
In a modest room, chairs should be light and compact. For a small kitchen, you can put a corner dining set. The built-in sofa on one side of the table looks original. It is not necessary to make a niche, you can simply put high racks or cabinets on the sides.
Many people have forgotten about such attributes as sideboard, console and cabinet. This furniture is designed to store festive dishes, textiles and cutlery. More often used for separate dining rooms in private homes.
Project by Vlad Sedov
Decor
Dining room interior design also has the right to be boring. A symphony of textures and facades, beautiful textiles and an unusual form of furniture can be found in this area.
- Textile. Curtain waterfall and small cushions on chairs. Napkins and tablecloths, an elegant path in the middle of the table. The carpet zones the space.
- Lighting. Use crystal or metal, bright colors and unusual shapes to match your style. Floor lighting will add charm to the space.
- Furniture. Make your chairs stand out: choose upholstered models in matching colours. High backs give luxury. Showcases or high cabinets with stained glass become decor along with beautiful dishes.
- Additional decor. Pictures and posters fit perfectly into the interior of the dining area. A small room can be visually expanded with mirrors. Biofireplace add coziness and tranquility.
Dining room is the best place to showcase your collections.
It will be interesting for guests to consider and discuss them at the meal. A collection of wine can be arranged on an open shelf, and a trifle can be laid out in showcases. In a private house, you can put a piano or a large grandfather clock with a cuckoo.

Dining table size tips
The right size dining table not only brings convenience, but also harmoniously fits into the interior. First of all, you need to determine for how many people the dining area. For a small family and frequent guests, a transforming table is perfect. Extra chairs can be placed around the room. For a large family, choose a table that is large enough for everyone to have enough space. But for combined rooms, you need to take into account the proportions. A huge table can spoil the interior and become a place to store unnecessary things.
Project by Vlad Sedov
Calculation formula
According to the laws of ergonomics and etiquette, there should be 60x35 cm for each person at the table. This allows you to put a dinner plate, cutlery on the sides and the necessary wine glasses. Approximately 20 cm must be left in the center of the table for dishes and decanters.
Table size by number of persons:
| Number of persons | Square table size, cm | Round table diameter, cm |
| 4 | 90*90 | 110 |
| 6 | 150*90 | 130 |
| 8 | 200*110 | 150 |
| 10 | 260*110 | 170 |
| 12 | 320*110 |
Add 75 cm on all sides from the edge of the table to the wall or other furniture to the indicated measurement. This distance is necessary to make it comfortable to move the chair and get up.
Styles for the dining room
Anna Krivonozhkina's project
Classic
A chic crystal chandelier above the dining table is a must in a classic style. The table itself is made of wood.
General decoration in soft colours. In modern classics, stone and metal can also be used.
The main components of the classics are modesty and muffledness. Curtains are selected from multi-layered fabric, canvases are symmetrically draped. Paintings with landscapes, different-sized vases, a composition of delicate flowers on the table are welcome.
Project by Alexey Ivanov
Art Deco
Art Deco style turns the room into a grand dining room. The style is characterized by luxurious furniture and decoration. The interior is decorated in neutral colors: white, black, beige, gray, brown. Accents are placed in gold, silver, red and burgundy.
Expensive natural materials, wood, stone, natural leather prevail in the design. In furniture and decoration, use mirrors, varnished and glossy surfaces. The highlight will be crystal tableware, arranged in stained-glass windows with backlight.
Project by Evgeny and Maria Latyshev
Minimalism
A laconic interior that pays attention to functionality. Monochrome, strict furniture, free space, ascetic decor are the hallmarks of a minimalist interior.
It is better to make the walls plain and play with texture. Alternate matte with glossy, rough with smooth. It is permissible to combine different textures: concrete, porcelain stoneware, natural linen, wood, metal.
Project by Marina Trach
Country
Country is characterized by a lot of textiles. Chairs or a small bench, decorated with pillows, are placed at the table. A tablecloth or path is selected on the tabletop. The decor is complemented by curtains, carpets.
Country furniture made of dark and light wood. In the decoration of the walls, lining and wallpaper with a pattern are used. Choose from floral prints, stripes and checks. A fireplace is traditionally installed in a country house.
Project by Irina Novikova
Scandinavian style
Nordic style is characterized by simplicity, functionality, cold palette, restraint in decor. The smaller the room, the less furniture.
The Scandinavian interior does not tolerate heaps and disorder. There should not be glossy and shiny surfaces - only matte.
Use light pastel colors for decoration and decor. The walls are not necessarily only white, light gray, pale blue, olive are also suitable.
The base material must be light wood. For textiles and upholstery, choose linen, cotton, and other textured fabrics. For an accent, you can use bright colors, geometric shapes and patterns, a woolen carpet and fluffy pillows.

Loft
Industrial style fits perfectly into the studio space. Brick, concrete, cement, decorative plaster, stone are suitable for finishing. Such cold and brutal materials need to be diluted with bright, but at the same time complex colors: burgundy, indigo, olive, mustard. The contrast with delicate pink removes the masculine character in the interior. Luminaires can be made in metal or be without a ceiling.
