Choose compact Dining Tables with flexible designs
When picking dining room furniture for small spaces, the Dining Table is a core piece that needs careful selection. Nu-Deco Crafts, a brand specializing in home decor and furniture, advises choosing compact Dining Tables, preferably round or square ones with a diameter/side length of 80-100cm to avoid taking too much floor space. Foldable or extendable Dining Tables are even better: they stay small for daily use (seating 2-3 people) and can be extended to 120-140cm when hosting guests. For example, a round foldable Dining Table with a wooden top and slim metal legs fits neatly in a 6-square-meter dining corner, and when extended, it can seat 4 people for a family dinner. Such flexible Dining Tables ensure dining room furniture doesn’t overwhelm small spaces while meeting different usage needs.
Select Dining Table Sets that prioritize space efficiency
Dining Table Sets (which include a Dining Table and matching chairs) are key dining room furniture for small spaces, and prioritizing space efficiency is essential. Nu-Deco Crafts suggests choosing Dining Table Sets with lightweight, stackable, or armless chairs, armless chairs take up 20% less space than armchairs, and stackable ones can be stored in a closet when not in use. The Dining Table in the set should match the chairs in size: a 90cm square Dining Table pairs best with 4 slim armless chairs. For example, a white Dining Table Set with a glossy tabletop and plastic stackable chairs is perfect for a small apartment it looks sleek, takes up little space, and is easy to clean. This type of Dining Table Set makes dining room furniture more compact, leaving more walking space in small dining areas.
Opt for slim Sideboards with multi-functional storage
Sideboards are practical dining room furniture for small spaces, but they need to be slim and multi-functional to save space. Nu-Deco Crafts points out that choosing Sideboards with a depth of 30-40cm (instead of standard 50cm ones) prevents them from sticking out too far into the room. Look for Sideboards with built-in storage: drawers for tableware (plates, bowls, cutlery) and open shelves for decorative items or frequently used items (like napkins or condiments). Some Sideboards even have a foldable top that can be used as a temporary serving surface. For example, a narrow gray Sideboard with two drawers and one open shelf, placed against a wall beside the Dining Table, stores all dining essentials without occupying extra space. This makes Sideboards a space-saving yet useful part of dining room furniture.
Match dining room furniture sizes to the space dimensions
Matching the sizes of all dining room furniture (Dining Table, Dining Table Sets, Sideboards) to the small space’s dimensions is crucial. Nu-Deco Crafts emphasizes measuring the dining area first: if the space is 2m×3m, the Dining Table should be no larger than 100cm in diameter, and the Sideboard should be under 120cm long. Leave at least 70cm of walking space between the Dining Table and walls or other furniture, this ensures you can pull out chairs and move around easily. For example, in a 2.5m×3m dining space, a 90cm round Dining Table, 4 armless chairs (as part of a Dining Table Set), and a 110cm-long slim Sideboard fit perfectly, with enough space to walk and use each piece. Proper size matching keeps dining room furniture balanced in small spaces, avoiding a cluttered look.
