Modern interior design – Five Ways with Impact Furniture 2

The dining table is the heart of the home, but if you are lacking space we have small dining room ideas for you.

 

 

Whether it’s the magic of extendable tables, why you should embrace a round table or the importance of keeping your dining room light and bright here are our hints and tips for styling a dining table for small space.

Extendable dining table

If you have small dining room then you do not want or need a huge table. They take up all the space. But, what to do when you have the whole family descend for Christmas dinner?

 

The solution is an Extending dining table which is compact most of the time but can still fit everyone for special occasions!

 

We think the Filo dining table is the ultimate in extendable dining table design, stretching all the way out to a massive 3m. Ideal to fit a dozen extra diners for Christmas and take the party from the kitchen / dining room all the way through to the hall!

 

Round Dining Table

When you have a small space you need to have some clever dining room ideas. Square or rectangular tables take up space physically and visually. Whereas a round dining table can still seat the same number but takes up less visual space.

 

This is perfect for everyday but the real genius occurs when you get a round extendable dining table. This perfect choice; space saving everyday but extendable to fit a party when required!

 

Our top choice is the Indus dining table, this space saving extending round dining table can seat anything from 4 to 12! The perfect table for when your small dining room needs to host a crowd.

 

 

 

Marble on a Budget

Marble top dining table’s are incredibly on trend but very pricey and often bulky. On the other hand Marble effect dining tables are affordable and they will fit in a small dining room!

 

Small marble dining table’s also often have table inserts – meaning extendable marble dining table’s for trendy and space saving all in one package!

 

We have wide variety of marble effect dining tables perfect inspiration to give small dining room ideas. Our top pick is the Cari Black marble dining table. This marble dining table 6 seater has scratch-resistant finish and the option to extend out to fit more!

 

 

Keep it Light and Bright

Dark wood or black tables are striking but can dwarf small dining rooms. Visually light colour or gloss dining tables amplify a space – making it feel more roomy and airy.

 

White gloss dining table’s are the obvious choice for keeping things light and bright – highly reflective, always on trend and a perfect foil for any kind of table décor, runner or centre. White gloss is not the only solution, white marble dining table’s also bring lightness to a dining room.

 

 

 

Floating Tables

A final small dining room idea is to lean into the visual-spatial effect of a floating table.

 

Floating table’s are those which have minimal or no obvious supports rather than a leg at each corner or a thick central pedestal. This gives a sense of weightlessness which makes the room feel larger but crucially still means a good sized table!

 

One of our favourites is the Bai extendable dining table – this space saving grey marble dining table has a beautiful V leg support to give a modern floating feel.
