1. Small Round Table
In this kitchen, we see a small round table that is neatly tucked into a corner. To save on space, bar stools without a back are used for seating. Not only do these stools take up little space, but they can also be neatly tucked under the table to save further on used floor space.
2. Square Table Secured To Wall
Sometimes you don’t even need a table to create a dining area. In this home, a white tabletop is secured to one wall which serves as a dining area. Here, there is no need for table legs to take up precious floor space. Two chairs are added to either side making this a comfortable eating space for two
3. Table Behind Sofa
Does your home have one open space for the kitchen and living area? If so, take a lead from this home. This example shows a small round dining table that fits in neatly behind a full size sofa. This way you don’t have to skimp on your living area and still have a comfortable place to dine.
4. Bench Seating and Chairs
This kitchen effectively maximizes the number of people who are able to eat at this table and take up minimal space. Bench seating on one side of the dining area is tucked against the wall to limit usable floor space. On the opposite side are two armchairs that flank the table. The table is kept round to make the seating more accessible, tight, and tucked in.
5. Customized Table and Seating
This home takes its creativity up a level. The kitchen countertop merges into a custom wood kitchen table that is uniquely shaped. A bench is included on one side as well as two backless counter stools on the other. To add interest, the bench is painted a soft muted green which stands out against the dark black stools and dark brown table.
6. A Dining Table With A View
When you have a great view, why not make this your focal point when setting up your dining table. In this home, the dining table extends out from a large window. This gives the feeling of dining outside and provides the opportunity to enjoy all of nature’s beauty. To save on floor space, this table is simply a slab of wood with no legs. This allows the area to feel more spacious and comfortable.
7. Dual Purpose Dining Table
When floor space is really tight, have the dining table serve dual purposes. In this tiny home, we see the dining table function not only as an eating area, but also as a lounging area when one wants to sit back and relax. When some down time is on the agenda, the table then serves as either a side table or entertainment table.
8. Modified Table
If a regular table does not work in your space, modify it. In this home, we see a table secured to one side of the wall with only two legs. Here you get the look of a regular table without a larger footprint. By eliminating the legs on one side, the table is able to butt up against the wall, taking up less space.
9. Indoor And Outdoor Dining Table
This table is interesting and unique for two reasons. One is that it is situated directly in front of a large window that opens up to the outside. When the window is open, you can push the table so that it is partially outside. Not only do you have a great view, but you also get to “be” in nature as well.
The second interesting and unique feature is that this table is able to fold down and tuck away when not in use. When closed, the table would blend in with the rest of the wall and create more space when moving around.
10. Peninsula Dining Table
This home utilizes the kitchen countertops to create a dining table area. This peninsula creates a cozy space for dining while minimizing the amount of floor space taken.
11. Simple Slab of Wood
This dining area takes up as little space as possible. To make sure that it works and looks great, three slabs of the same wood are secured against the wall to make not only the dining table but two seats. Everything is safely secured to the wall so nothing gets tipped over when walking by. To create flow within the room the same wood is then repeated in the nearby countertop.
12. Full Sized Dining Table
When you want a full-sized table in a tiny area, bench seating is a good choice. Here we see a long bench on one side and two armchairs on the opposing side. By incorporating a bench for seating, the space is able to include a larger-sized table for dining.
13. Dining Table Extension
In this kitchen, the countertop next to the sink extends further to serve a dual purpose. It is not only additional countertop space but also functions as a dining table with two stools. The light grey tone of the countertop seamlessly flows from the stainless coloring of the sink.
14. Long Wooden Table Top
This tiny home successfully incorporates a long wooden tabletop that extends from the kitchen to the outdoors. The dining area is situated right in front of a large window looking to the outdoors. Four bar height stools are able to be placed underneath for ample seating given the length of the wood table. As well, the tabletop coordinates with all of the wood features throughout the home.
15. L-Shaped Butcher Block Counter and Table
A large butcher block l-shaped countertop functions as a food preparation area as well as a dining area for the kitchen. A round corner sink is included so as to not infringe on the space for the dining area. The consistent wood top makes the countertop and dining area seamless.
16. Centered Dining Table
This interesting setup places the dining area right next to the sleeping area. Bench seating on three sides functions not only as a place to sit while eating but also as a step to down from the raised bed. Furthermore, nestled and centered between the three bench seats is a small square table that can be used for eating.
17. Movable Round Table
In this kitchen, a small round dining table is tucked neatly into the corner. When not in use it rests against the side of the kitchen countertop. When needed, the table can easily be pulled out to be used. In addition, simple black dining chairs are paired with the table which can also be easily moved when needed.
18. Passageway Dining Table
Passageways often get left behind when designing a space. In this home, the path from the stairs to the kitchen is well utilized. A simple white tabletop extends out from the side of the stairs, making good use of this space. Two wooden bar stools can neatly slide underneath the tabletop to save on space.
19. Roll Out Dining Table
This peninsula in the kitchen incorporates a dining table that can be rolled out from the center of the face of the island. When the table is packed away, the stools can be pushed closer to the peninsula freeing up space on the floor. The table is easily accessible by simply pulling on the end to draw the table out.
20. Galley Kitchen Dining Table
The dining table in this photo jointly uses the tabletop above base cabinets as extra counter space for the kitchen. By placing the table opposite the working countertop, it naturally creates a galley-style kitchen. The dining area countertop extends past the base cabinets creating a space where stools can neatly be slipped under. The wood used in the space is matched to create cohesion in the room.
21. Dining Table With Additional Space
The above table is super functional because it not only extends out for eating, but the space behind allows one to place food and drink items for easy accessibility. The location of the table is also ideal. It provides the homeowners with the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors while dining.
22. Flip Down Dining Table
Another great space-saving idea for a dining table is to allow the tabletop to fold down when it is needed. In this example, the table can conveniently be folded up and secured with a latch when not needed. It also serves as an art feature on the wall. A slab of live edge wood is hung on the wall to transition into the table.
23. Cozy Dining Table
To create a separate cozy dining space that doesn’t take up a lot of space, define the area with a banquette seating area. In this photo, the homeowner has creatively mapped out the dining area by incorporating two opposing banquettes flanking a center table. By doing this, a dedicated dining space is created that feels warm and inviting.
24. Raised Dining Area
In this kitchen, the dining area extends from the countertop but is raised to create a separation. Given the height difference, a bar height stool is incorporated for seating. To seamlessly transition from the countertop to the dining area, the same material is used for each.
25. Fold Down Table
An alternative to a fold-up table is one that folds down flush against the wall. In this example, a live edge slab of wood is used as a tabletop for dining. It is secured to the wall and can easily be adjusted up and down as needed.
26. Custom Corner Table
Placing a dining table in a corner automatically maximizes space and leaves a small footprint. Built-in custom corner bench seats allow for ample seats that take up little space. A small, stylish round table is incorporated for function and appeal.
