In recent years we’ve seen a departure from dedicated dining rooms to eating meals in a less defined space. This shift can be attributed to the popularity of open concept living, as well as the demand for our space to function more dynamically as a result of the pandemic. Just as our use of space evolves, so does the furniture that we use to outfit our homes — and this means moving away from traditional dining tables to small dining tables and multifunctional tables.

How small can a dining room be?

This is completely dependant on your needs and personal preferences. A dining room can be as small (even non-existent) or as large as you want it to be. When thinking about a dining space, a few things we encourage our clients to consider are whether there are any other functions they’d like the space to have, how often the space will be used, and who the space will primarily be used by. This helps narrow down the size, function, and finishes of the table.

Transforming tables as small dining tables

Resource Furniture offers a unique range of transforming tables which serve multiple functions and transform into a dining table effortlessly. Tables such as the Genie feature height adjusting mechanisms to raise from coffee-to-dining height, to function as a small dining table or workstation. If you need a small dining table but would like the option to accommodate more people, a height adjustable and expanding table such as the Passo is an ideal solution as it has a small footprint but can seat up to twelve people when fully expanded.

Small dining tables with leaves

Seeking a more traditional dining table that can accommodate more people when needed? Look no further than the Plurimo. At its smallest the Plurimo Piccolo expands from a dining table for four to seat eight people comfortably. This small dining table uses internally stored leaves that operate on a smooth mechanism to make hosting larger groups a no-fuss affair.
