5 Ideas for Dining Area Decoration on the Kitchen

Putting a rectangular table and a couple of chairs — too simple a solution for setting up a dining area. Want more interesting and unusual ideas? We tell how professional designers solved this task.

The dining table as an extension of the windowsill

If you don't plan to move the table from one corner of the kitchen to another, this solution is for you. Extend the countertop from the kitchen cabinet along the window and to the table: this will create a unified workspace and dining area where it's not only convenient to entertain guests, but also to sit with a laptop if needed.

Did you like the interior? Then your choice: Table with wooden countertop.
Lamp with a white shade.
Glass pendant light.
Set of two green chairs.
Round table by the window

Make a round table the centerpiece of the dining area, and instead of standard wooden or plastic chairs choose models with soft backrests and seats, and lay a carpet (yes, you can do it on the kitchen too!) — the setup will immediately become cozier. Don't forget about good lighting either. Designers are sure: several small lights look more interesting than one large shade.

Windowsill as a bar counter

When there's no space for a proper dining area, you have to use all available surfaces — for example, the windowsill. It can be recessed and turned into a bar counter. For the countertop, artificial stone, wood, or quartz will work well. But you can also use the same tiles and mosaics as on the kitchen backsplash — it's stylish.

Dining area with a banquette

Increase the number of seating places by replacing a pair of chairs with a banquette. It’s even better to use a large corner banquette. If you're placing it by the window, you can do without a backrest and instead lay decorative cushions in a row.

Dining area with built-in sofa

Another way to create a spacious dining area without compromising storage systems is to design cabinets with a special niche for a built-in sofa. Decorate the wall behind the sofa with paintings and an interesting-shaped lamp. We're sure such a cozy nook will become the family's favorite relaxation spot.
