8 Ways to Dine in Style Even if You Don't Have a Dining Room

Not every house is spacious enough to have a dedicated dining room. But you know what, it doesn't really matter! Here are 8 ways to enjoy dining without the need for a dining room...

1. Fold Down Table and Folding Chairs

A table that folds down into a neat little bench with folding chairs stacked closeby is a great way to save space without sacrificing the possibility of a romantic candle-lit dinner.

2. Slide Out Dining Table

This pint-sized dining table slides out from the kitchen bench just like a drawer. Combined with a couple of little stools, you can have a pop up dining space whenever the mood strikes.

3. Sunny Breakfast Bar

Even a tiny shelf placed next to a window can create a lovely little breakfast bar. We recently wrote a huge article on breakfast bars, so if this is what you're after, take a look at that for some inspiration.

4. Pull-Out Dining Table

This dining table is built into the cupboards, but without any trouble, you can pull it out and move it anywhere in the apartment. The perfect combination of space-saving flexibility.

5. Murphy Bed Hack

In this New York City apartment, the pop-out dining table is actually built into a Murphy bed unit. Thanks to this ingenous idea, this little corner is for sleeping, eating, and storing. Now that's versatile!

6. Dining Nook

Of course, you don't need a whole room for dining. The dining room will happily tuck into any leftover corner, as this lush dining nook demonstrates.

7. Tiny Table

Even the tiniest of tables can make the world of difference when you want to dine in. While there's only enough space for one at this little table, it sure beats eating off your lap in front of the TV.

8. Extended Island Bench

An island bench can become a pretty stylish dining area if you take the time to extend it out. Just remember that the standard kitchen benchtop is 900mm high, while a dining table is only 750mm. So unless you want to use stools at the dining table, you'll need to lower the island bench to dining height.
